War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Dawn was clear and bright, but fog arrived silently to steal the thunder. Another Friday here on California’s north coast and this morning keeps the weather pattern alive — bright and warm early on, then sunshine and a brisk-chilled wind in the afternoon. As there’s already a shitload of crap news caused by asshole earthlings,…
Supposedly, Sarah Palin was on point with a ‘gotcha’ moment last weekend when she and her entire brood got involved in huge brawl. I first saw the story this morning at Raw Story, then there’s an update at Wonkette, and finally this version from Alaskan blogger, Amanda Coyne: As many of us have read, Bristol Palin…
Please excuse the problem — something went amiss on my blog site this morning and the post I did this morning was somehow pushed back to yesterday. So you’d see the ‘Babel’ post twice — yesterday doesn’t count. Sorry.
Sunny with a touch of overcast skies this early Thursday on California’s north coast — could be another start to a most-beautiful day. Yesterday turned out warm and gorgeous. Today, though, is the 13th anniversary of the terror attacks on New York’s World Trade Center, the Pentagon in DC, and the crash of an intended…
Tonight, President Obama supposedly is set to present his plan for action against the infamous ISIS, and will be speaking to a nation apparently approaching the level of scared shitless. According to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, we haven’t been this afraid and hyped-up since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks: Forty-seven percent say…

Bright and way-sunny this Wednesday morning here on California’s north coast — rare type of wake-up, but due to my sleeping problems, I slept until well after sunrise and missed the dawn coming up like thunder. Or at least, some kid of shout. This is, of course, the day before that day 13 years ago.…
Last week, another indication the US top-down economic recovery is also bottom heavy. Apparently, right now the only people enjoying anywhere near the Great American Dream are those who have already acquired it. Median income for all US families fell 5 percent between 2010 and 2013. Except for those incomes in the high brackets —…
Overcast and chilly this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — weather we like it or not. And not liking it — a new report from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) indicates the environment sucks worse than it has in 30 years. The clock hands are moving, though — WMO Secretary-General Michel Jarraud: “Past, present…
In the grand slush of news lately, I’d overlooked today’s 40-year anniversary — Gerald Ford’s forgive-and-forget of Dick Nixon. And nearly 40 years later, President Obama did just about the same thing with George Jr. and his bunch. Ford’s TV text soul-searching included: My conscience tells me clearly and certainly that I cannot prolong the…
