War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Clear this early Friday along California’s northern coast, though, rain is forecast for next week and winter’s coming whether we like it or not. The US east coast has to feel a bit in the gun-sights of apprehension as Hurricane Sandy, already called a hybrid whopper and “Frankenstorm,” could strike hard early next week —…
Jolting Joe Biden letting the baby cry during a speech yesterday in Ohio (via HuffPost): “I don’t blame that baby for crying,” he said, over audible wails from a child in the crowd. “You know what, she just realized what it means if Romney gets elected. She is out there – God love her. Hi,…
Overcast and rainy this morning along California’s northern coast — and it’s been a keen-edge cold, too, giving rise to the winter a-coming just around the corner. Our wetness is just part the season’s first major storm, which has dumped near two-feet of snow on the northern Sierra Nevada’s and spawned a record-tying five tornadoes…
Last night another display of how US governance has seemingly reached the surreal level as a one-sided debate between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney revealed a GOP endorsement of a Democrat president. Romney agreed so much with Obama all during the debate, one wonders if his well-coiffed head had been shoved way-up his ass. Sweating…
Rain and deep darkness this morning on California’s northern coast, lending a sense of apprehension to this the beginning of a new work-week, and an acute awareness of something big is a-foot. Earthquakes, maybe — we had a 3.5 yesterday afternoon just 10 miles south of where I now sit on my ass, but alas…
Just about everybody but Republicans know Mitt Romney lies out his ass — if he can’t come up with any kind of falsehood, he’s speechless. Eclectablog takes a look at Politifact‘s bullshit meter: For statements that were ruled to be “True†and “Mostly Trueâ€, it’s Obama and Biden at 45.0 percent, Romney and Ryan at…
(Illustration found here). Last night at the Al Smith Memorial Dinner in New York, a big political-bullshit laugh-fest where the public-servant 1 percent pretends they’re human, Mitt Romney attempted some side-splitting humor: In discussing how he prepares for the debates, Romney said his strategy was to “find the biggest available straw man and mercilessly attack…
Another clear sky this morning on California’s northern coast, stars twinkling and a slight cool breeze, though, a ground mist like yesterday could spoil a thunderous sunrise. After a little spat of rain earlier this week, the days and nights have been gorgeous. Not so pretty the US political scene — at least on the…
(Illustration found here). Last night’s presidential debate between President Obama and Mitt Romney was a fun-fest, stomp-nosed look at how ludicrous US politics has become, but did allow at last a small peek into how vast and empty the GOP challenger — Romney’s camp may now give more than a shit about fact-checkers. In that…
Raining this early Tuesday morning up here along California’s northern coast, the first of the so-called rainy season, though, it did get wet back in July. And it’s fairly warm, temps expected to be in the low 60s today. Of course, the big-ticket item is tonight’s debate between President Obama and Mitt Romney and this…
