War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
An icon of bat-shit crazy said some funny — Sarah Palin unloads advice in a fevered essay at breitbart.com — heart of the dark matter: Ignore the peanut gallery pundits. They’ve written my political obituary so many times, I’m practically Lazarus. Now they’re trying to destroy Ted Cruz. Good luck with that, you weasels. Texans are…
A dark, dreary and dismal-looking overcast sky this early Sunday morning here on California’s north coast — more rain coming, it looks like. If those two guys in that photo on the left look like pretentious assholes, it’s because they are, and from all appearances do indeed carry an aura of being total dick-heads —…
The illustration above came via The Big Picture and can be originally found here. And the source was Mother Jones — from a study now two years old! The trend appeared to be no coincidence in light of the proliferation of guns and looser gun laws nationwide. One leading criminologist took issue with our criteria, arguing that…
Under the news layers, another slice of possible horror from the never-ending terror-tale of the Fukushima nuclear plant — this time the possible extraction of 1300 spent fuel rods from Unit 4: Conditions in the unit 4 pool, 100 feet from the ground, are perilous, and if any two of the rods touch it could cause…
Crystal-clear and a bit chilly this Friday morning on California’s north coast with a majestic full moon hanging mega-bright over it all — despite that, we’ve a 90 percent forecast for rain later today, maybe with some thunderstorms tonight.

Overcast and damp this Thursday morning on California’s north coast as we cruise on toward the weekend — now closer than it was yesterday! And yesterday’s gone — a loss of history, boxer Ken Norton, great of the 1970s and the only guy on earth who broke Ali’s jaw, has died at age 70. Norton was…
Overcast and cool this way-early Wednesday on California’s north coast, and if the last few days are any indication, the weather up here is returning to its normal mode of cool damp. We’re coming off the most-extended warming period I’ve experienced since moving up here more than six years ago. A feel for the future.…
Drizzling rain this way-early Tuesday on California’s north coast, and the weather matches the mood. Horror once again yesterday via another gun massacre at DC’s Washington Navy Yard — 12 dead and eight wounded. And not a motive in gun-sight, beyond some guy armed to the teeth and pissed about something. The nightmare shits: The…
Here it is — Monday, and there just ain’t no way to get out of it! Crystal-clear this early morning on California’s north coast, and if the fog don’t make a move in the next little while, the sun will come up like thunder – or so they say. And over the weekend, in the…
(Illustration found here). Further tales of the NSA — this one on the Dr. Strangelove character, NSA chief Gen. Keith Alexander, and the good general’s Star Trek obsession, and on our dime. Via PBS: “When he was running the Army’s Intelligence and Security Command, Alexander brought many of his future allies down to Fort Belvoir…
