War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
A must-see for the continuing horror facing people in the wake of Hurricane Sandy — sixty BuzzFeed pix displaying why they need great help. And speaking of help: Thousands and thousands of pounds of clothes were being sorted, labeled, and distributed, and valuable supplies like heaters and generators were being loaded up in cars to…
Messing with time is crazy — only makes any life-sequence all the more elusive. Forgot about the Daylight Saving switch-a-roo last night, got up an hour earlier and although I’d slept all I could, the very fact it was way-too soon, but still late, created a glitch in the matrix. Joe Biden timed it right yesterday:…
(Illustration found here). Even as a tiny, little shit — vs an old shit now — I’ve always been a full-blown movie nut. In countless darkened theaters as flickering images played across gigantic screens, these episodes in fantasy seemed to remove me from a world I couldn’t understand, or maybe didn’t want to, and created…
One of the great — and most-horrifying — paradoxes of our time is the destructive cycle of humanity’s obsession with oil and its by-products, way-most-notably, gasoline. A vivid illustration of this phenomenon is the picture at left of a gas station in New Jersey (photo found here), just one of dozens like it across the…
End of the work week again, another Friday to contemplate gushing-forth news events overshadowed by hyped-up weather shenanigans. In the final sprint to the finish, Mitt Romney has got shit-kick-me written all over him — yesterday he pissed off the Italians, and now he’s the big-butt of late-night jokes. The Center for Media and Public Affairs…
(Illustration found here). In the horror images of Hurricane Sandy, one frozen moment might be the nexus of this year’s presidential race — President Obama and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie emoting with victims/survivors of the storm. Despite all the bullshit spewed from the GOP political cesspool this election cycle, one photo blows the whole…
Another Halloween, but slapped hard by nature — there’s a few million US people who won’t be prowling the streets tonight seeking after treats. The trick will be to crawl through Hurricane Sandy’s rubble and stay alive. Warm and appears like it’s about to rain up here along northern California’s coastline, with the operative word…
Quiet again this morning here on California’s northern coast and the roar of the Pacific can be faintly heard in the distance — about opposite on the US eastern seaboard, where bad shit reigns (and rains). So far, not as bad as the picture at left seems to depict (via, of course, The Hollwood Reporter):…
Wet and quiet this morning on California’s northern coast — the damp due to heavy fog during the night, which left the air a bit more warm than usual. A way-different story to the way-east as some bad shit is about to hit the fan hard — the US mid-Atlantic seaboard is bracing itself up…
Thick ground fog here this morning along California’s northern coast, but above the mist is clear skies and the dawn breaking from the east. Quiet here, but not so where that dawn’s first light originates — the eastern half of the US is in for some bad shit the next few days, especially the next…
