War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
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…
Dark overcast skies this Sunday morning on California’s north coast, and way-quiet in the early light — and I can’t even hear a sound from the mighty Pacific Ocean, a mile or so away. Thick shit, the air. And this morning five years ago, some real-thick shit was launched against a warbling, screaming financial fan…
Finally, it’s Friday! Still overcast and a bit warm this early morning here on California’s north coast as we continue our falling way into the fall season — we did get some sunshine yesterday, but it was well into the late afternoon. Today must be another spoiler. Beyond the Syria entanglements and the “Biblical” flooding…
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…
High overcast this way-too-early Wednesday here on California’s north coast and mid-week pulls us closer and closer to the weekend. Which is exactly where we want to be — for now. And in the wake of the temperance-flare of President Obama’s anti-Syrian peace-now-but-war-later speech last night, the US can curl up and go fast asleep,…
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…
