War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Quiet this morning up here along California’s northern coast with the sun trying in vain to slither through an Old Testament-looking sky, featuring epic clouds and small patches of clear blue way up yonder. A condition which gives the air a kind of golden hue. This marks the return of daily blogging — not only…
Another Friday morning, but I’m not feeling it this week. Old, twitching health problems have spring up this morning, complicating a fragile, personal ecosystem — and making the end of the work week more than just a day on the calendar. Added to the toasted brain is the arrival tonight of my younger brother, who…
One of the extreme-first indications President Obama was more creative-mouth than actual action was the announced appointment in December 2008 of those two knuckle-headed financial assholes Timmy Geithner and Larry Summers to his incoming administration — a move putting conniving foxes in charge of an already-looted hen house. Wall Street, and its gun-toting ‘tarded’ cousin,…
Another morning and another middle of the week — no horrible news to report this morning as I slept in an extra hour, just the continued death of life as we know it. Fog covers California’s northern coast, but if current weather continues to hold, the day should turn out to be warm and sunny…
Blow back from horror can create assholes of the purest form, as this from yesterday: Deputies were called to the AMC Norwalk 20 cineplex around 5 p.m. Sunday after moviegoers complained of a man who started yelling when the showing of “The Dark Knight Rises” didn’t start.

(Illustration via CNN of Aurora, Colorado, theater where 14 moviegoers were killed early Friday). Awoke to some horror this morning — at least 14 people were shot dead and 50 wounded during a nut-wad shooting at a theater in Colorado during an opening-day screening of the new Batman movie, “The Dark Knight Rises,” but from…
Urban Word of the Day: Successorize Noun: Item of clothing or apparel used to make you look or feel more successful In the way-near future, clothes and success will constitute whether one lives or dies — forget the business world, the dress will be for climate change. With news this week satellite images are showing…
Mitt Romney and George Jr. the night of Feb. 8, 2002, the opening of the Salt Lake City Olympic games: As the Mormon Tabernacle Choir’s rendition of the national anthem echoed off the snow-dusted mountains, the 43rd President turned to the man who now could be the 45th and marveled, “That was a great moment. 
Raining up here on California’s northern coast this morning, but unlike Babbling Brook Benton, I don’t feel like it’s raining all over the world. Mitt Romney might, however. Watching this wealthy nut-ball roll across the political landscape, I think Romney is actually running not to win — he’s in this thing just for the trip…
