War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
High overcast this early Thursday morning on California’s north coast and from all indications we’ll continue our most-wonderful Indian summer today with warm temperatures fluttered in sunshine. Twelve years in a memory’s snap — a swift day’s ride into the sunset. Today, of course, is the day after Sept. 11. And that date will apparently never…
Clear and cool this early Tuesday along California’s north coast, just another day in the warmth. Trick or twist? US Secretary of State John Kerry walks into a bar — bartender asks: Why the long face? Yep, jokester and nit-twit, Kerry’s bullshit might have saved his boss an ass whopping. Off the cuff: Asked early…
Crystal-clear, warm and beautiful this way-too-early Monday on California’s north coast, all this after a way-way-too quick weekend. Two days just ain’t enough time. This is the week that has to be for President Obama and his notched-gunsight on Syria — big TV interviews today with an enormous rally-for-war speech tomorrow. This is one proposition…
Sunday morning fog up here on California’s north coast — feels like it’s foggy all over the world. And it feels like we’re all on a precarious precipice as plastered by the platoons of talking heads on the TV this morning — an alliteration of assholes, no doubt. All posturing on Syria — the road to…
Finally — Friday! A little wispy-overcast this morning on California’s north coast as we prepare to handle the weekend — and we’re way-ready for a warm and sun-splashed two days. And it will be fairly serene, too. Not like this planet we inhabit. If the sniping, backtalk and phoney smiles at the G-20 summit in…
Despite the US government’s full-frontal harping for the bombing of Syria, Americans still disagree — from Pew Research: Three-quarters (74 percent) believe that U.S. airstrikes in Syria are likely to create a backlash against the United States and its allies in the region and 61 percent think it would be likely to lead to a…
Clear skies and twinkling stars greeted me earlier this Wednesday morning, but it now appears fog is rolling across the north coast of California, but most-likely by mid-day it will be sweltering with hot-boxed temperatures in the low 70s again — the mid 80s predicted for this weekend. A near-enough tropical heat wave! Up here…
Crystal-clear skies with stars twinkling all over — summer’s still here along California’s north coast and the living is more than easy. Yeah, right! No matter where you live and no matter what the skies look like, nothing is easy nowadays. Although the US Congress is not due back in session until next week, the…
Thick ground fog this early Thursday on California’s north coast, and quiet, too — can’t even hear the mighty Pacific Ocean only a mile or so away. The air, though, has that quality of quick burn-off once the sun comes up in an hour or so. And we’re still forecast to continue our ‘heat wave‘…
Clear and star-sprinkling skies this early Wednesday along California’s north coast — as the middle of the work week is here, so are thoughts of the week end. Yet two days to go. And this morning, the situation room on the Syrian chaos is getting crowded. The US, however, is pulling a George Jr. ploy…
