War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Here finally we are — Friday! A foggy early morning, too, on California’s north coast as the weekend swings into full view. Smoke can come in many forms — and can be blown up the ass as well — former Obama White House adviser Van Jones slapped his “ridiculous” ex-boss on the NSA bullshit: “First of…
Foggy again this way-too-early Thursday on California’s north coast as we grind on through the week. The weekend is beckoning. In the spirit of the nowadays, Holden Caulfield reminds us: “I’m the most terrific liar you ever saw in your life. It’s awful. If I’m on my way to the store to buy a magazine,…
Here we are mid-week again, with fog and gloom this early Wednesday, but at least we’re on the gravitational pull to the weekend. Hard-hitting environmental report came out yesterday, but if anyone has been keeping up with the situation the last few years, there’s really nothing new. The big question (though, with no answer right…
(Illustration: Vincent van Gogh’s ‘The State Lottery‘ found here). Time again fellow peoples for the nutcase absolute -nuttery of the big-bucks lottery — the multi-state Powerball has now topped $425 million and the delusional denizens will be swiping/jiving to the dreams of an idiot. And the bullshit lying continues: “We’re seeing brisk sales for this…
Foggy and still this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, but if our weather trend continues, sunshine and clear skies will be on tap for later today. Air wise, northern California is currently under a smoke-hazard advisory due to a couple of forest fires in the region — 5 thousand acres are burning in the Klamath…
(Illustration found here). Welcome to the new look — small changes in a different way, but with the same nit-twit in charge. A different face coupled with that unique, gratuitous and sensual literary effort. Ha!
In the world of way-big-time journalism, some snags are expected — and some not expected at all. The crash last Friday of my blog is apparently bigger than was first noted. It seems there’s a problem with photos and content, all squirming around technical shit I haven’t a clue to understanding. I can click, and…
Another Sunday morning and the news-crawl continues — foggy, chilly and gloomy here on California’s north coast. Watching ‘Good Morning America,’ not paying much attention to the detail-drone, just hearing somewhat-structured noise — a low-level clamor to me just sounds of life slouching toward a conclusive encounter with the proverbial wall of pure dumb-ass. Glenn Greenwald explained…
Overcast and quiet again this early Thursday here on California’s north coast, the sounds of silence screeching all across the lonely, lost world. But we are not alone. Yesterday, two important stories ‘leaked’ via the news cycle — one was that Bradley Manning’s awful leaks “…that no instances were ever found of any individual killed…
Already mid-week and shit is still shit — yet it’s overcast and quiet here on California’s north coast, well away from the black soot of American life. Yesterday, Bradley Manning was found “guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty,” of 20 different counts of hyper-legal bullshit and could face up to 136 years in prison, but he did escape…
