War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Another clear and chilly early morning here on California’s north coast, and we step lightly into day three of a shifty-eyed shutdown of political sanity. The New York Times on Day One: By Tuesday morning, the leadership failure of Speaker John Boehner was complete. In encouraging the impossible quest of House Republicans to dismantle health care…
Clear and chilly this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast, and as we reach the middle of the work week, a shitload of people have been sent home from work as the breakdown of the feral US continues apparently unabated. A bright spot yesterday during a GOP bullshit-presser when the nutjobs got noodled by the crowd:…
“You are a menace. A walking pestilence.” — Dr. Zaius (Illustration found here). The GOP got tea-brained: House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) didn’t sound terribly convinced himself when he announced the Republicans’ last stand to reporters. “The president provided, uh, a one-year delay of the employer mandate,” he said. “He’s provided exceptions, uh, for unions,…
Despite all my efforts, it’s Monday again. Rain and wind up here this early morning on California’s north coast, but the storms that have plagued the US upper Pacific coast appears to be fading pretty fast. Clear skies and joyous sunshine a-coming! Wrong — CNN poll: “…58 percent say congressional Democrats are acting like spoiled…
Rain and more rain this early Sunday along California’s north coast, all part of a giant and nasty storm system now slapping hard at the US Pacific Northwest. Sucking up water from former Typhoon Pabuk’s moisture, the storm stalled over the Gulf of Alaska in order to build power and then swept into Washington and Oregon…
Once again, crystal-clear skies this early Friday (whoopee!) and it’s on to the weekend — can’t come fast enough. And if you have been aware/understand anything at all about climate change, and have some walking-around sense, the new report due today from the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change should come as no real surprise —…
Clear and cold this Thursday morning along California’s northern coast — the moon hanging like a fat-ass fingernail in the eastern sky. And the sound of the peaceful Pacific Ocean can heard roaring a couple of miles away, like an express train coming down the tracks, but going nowhere. Just like parts of the Left…
Raining and cold this early Wednesday on California’s north coast and as we hit mid-week, shit is flying all over, especially from the face of bat-shit crazy. As I type, far across this nation in the far-deep darkness of morning, rodent Republican Ted Cruz is in the midst of a blithering talk-a-thon in the US…
Overcast and drizzly this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, and apparently the air this morning is a good sound modifier as I can hear the roar of the Pacific Ocean from about a mile away. Weather is not whether you like it or not, but just life. Today’s a special day. What kind of…
Raining pretty steady this way-too-early Monday, continuing the storms across the northern California coast, but all just part of life’s scenario. And life’s a gnarled bitch for a lot of folks. Rain falling everywhere — from Kenya, Pakistan, and parts in between, but the real shit is gearing up here in the good, old US…
