War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
I’d never seen this photo from June 2018 — I was then being prepared for surgery and wasn’t too much into scrolling the InterWebs. This the lede from The Hill piece on the pix: ‘Comedian Kathy Griffin and adult-film actress Stormy Daniels posed together in a photo this week raising a middle finger to President…
Terrifying shit for a noonish Friday — news dump literally. A couple of items off the T-Rump’s fourth day in New York on that ‘hush money‘/financial campaign-fraud case, one a terrifying outside-the-courtroom incident: Strange, more-than-meets-the-eye news clip. Some muted details: Eyewitness News talked to a witness who said the man was holding papers in Collect…
One of the greatest guitar pickers ever, Dickey Betts, has died. He was 80. And not only notable in music: Beyond reality when one band would have two, TWO, most-gifted guitarists — Betts and Duane Allman. From today’s The New York Times obit: “Duane and I had an understanding, like an old soul kind of…
Once again the T-Rump was in a New York courtroom today in part two of his ‘hush money’ trial with Stormy Daniels, and, apparently, he has so much legal shit happening all over in so many jurisdictions he’s bored out of whatever little mind he has left inside that horrid, cruel and nasty slack face.…
Bright sunshine and well-warmed-up temperatures this near-noon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — another summer preview day, though, nice in its where-did-springtime-go kind of way. In scrolling just now, I came across a cut-to-the-bone analysis of the T-Rump; must share (great h/t Tengrain): Highlight example of O’Donnell’s flair for wordage (via Mediaite): ‘“That’s a…
A wish connection for this Thursday afternoon in light of the death of OJ Simpson and the orange-turd-of-an-asshole T-Rump: Of course, the LA Times story has been edited correctly, but not before (Newsweek): ‘“Long before the city woke up on a fall morning in 2017, Trump walked out of Lovelock Correctional Center outside Reno, a…
Crystal-clear, blue skies, and sharp, clean sunshine this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley. And warm temps, too — highs in the mid-to-upper 70s with a cool, nice-feeling breeze. Of itself a gorgeous time. A day, however, most-likely an undercurrent preview for a hot, shitty summer to come. Yet right now enjoy while it’s…
Instead of a dirge let’s get simple and nostalgic this Sunday early evening with some wonderful, wondrous alternate rock from the year 1997, and a flashback to a nice, seemingly more-easier time. The 1990s were a blessing for rock music — maybe even better than my boomer rush of the British invasion in the 1960s.…
Once again throwing caution and good taste to the wind, I seek on a late-afternoon Saturday an indulgence as here’s another plea to please, please buy my novel, “Brown-Eyed Girl With A Cold Corona,” self-published two years ago by way of Outskirts Press. The Amazon/Kindle page is here. My author’s page at Outskirts Press is…
Although coasting down to the end of another clear-sky/bright sunshine Tuesday in California’s Central Valley, the actual living diagram for nowadays is mud-flat shitty mainly due to the incessant, endless chatter about one of the most horrible of people alive (or maybe even dead), the T-Rump — seeing that orange-turd-mask face and hearing that smacking,…
