War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
(Illustration found here). Yesterday morning, a more-than-unhappy guy shot another guy in the face with a .45, then moments later, proceeded to get into a one-sided fire fight with police, getting himself killed while nine others on a crowded NYC sidewalk were wounded. If one followed the news at all, one would then know pretty-much…
Crystal clear skies this early Friday morning along California’s northern coast, and near-cold, too. Odd to see stars way up high in the dark. Although the fog will most-likely roll in before sunrise — about two hours away — the effect now is clean, and kind of noisy as sound seems to float and survive…
Once again, early morning here on California’s northern coast and another quiet beginning to the day — not much sunshine lately, except for some rays spattering across the landscape in the middle of the afternoons. My first gape at the news seems to find the same — not much light amongst the overcast. Beyond Prince…

Even out into the middle of the week, the shitstorm off Todd Akin’s revelation on Sunday of a female’s ability to ward off unwanted sperm still plays hard and heavy in the media — and not only in the US, but across the dying planet where he’s become known as the “rape-gaffe…
Urban Word of the Day: “derp“ A simple, undefined reply when an ignorant comment or action is made. Brought to life in the South Park series, when Mr. Derp made a guest appearance at South Park Elementary as the chef for a day, followed by hitting himself in the head with a hammer and exclaiming…
Another Monday, folks! Up here along the northern California coast another foggy and chilly early morning with the good possibility of maybe some sunshine later on the day — weather here is unpredictably predictable. Not so just a short space south of us where two new forest fires are threatening more than 3,500 homes and…
(Illustration found here). In this era of pure nonsensical bullshit: Tell all the truth but tell it slant, Success in circuit lies, Too bright for our infirm delight The truth’s superb surprise; As lightning to the children eased With explanation kind, The truth must dazzle gradually Or every man be blind. — Emily Dickinson, ‘Tell…
Always been a great fan of Maurits Cornelis Escher, or just MC Escher, as he’s more-popularly known, and his artworks has always flooded my brain with all kinds of twisted and delicious images of how reality functions. Some of his more-well known drawings can be found here and here and here — my most-favorite (and…
Quiet and sad this morning up here on California’s north coast, with the ugliest of ugly shit falling like scalding rain all over everywhere else, it seems. This planet is wedged into a gnarly pickle. And this morning, a report two more US GIs were shot and killed today in Afghanistan by another one of…
Another foggy, moist morning here on California’s north coast, though, typical of the region, weather is like a series of smoke and mirrors — clouds of tiny bullshit droplets disguise reality. And judging real time has become a kind of rigged liar’s poker. A gut-grabber on the front-lines of political-spewed pot ash: Yes, one of…
