War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Only logic can save the day. As a kid (and even now as an ‘adult’), I loved the insane violence, and memory brings up a little bit about the media. In one of those The Three Stooges clips, and there seems to be thousands of them, the boys needed to get inside some official meeting.…
Warriors in that happy-go-lucky city-state of ancient Sparta either can back with their shield, or on it. Veterans from US wars, however, especially those from the little-horrors currently in Iraq and Afghanistan, have no protective shields to ride back home. US Veteran’s Affairs has been just piling up those shields and shredding them. Department of…
Another example of Decider George/GOP incompetence. Hurricane Ike tore across the Texas coast in September and flattened everything, and despite the Katrina experience, the US federal government is still too arrogant to help the helpless. In this day and age, natural disaster can be more than just a storm. Caught between a rock and a…
Watching this last debate is so depressing, I have to take more-than-the-usual smoke breaks. I don’t understand live blogging — only been doing this a short while — and so this a kind of real-time, after-thought observations on Barack Obama and his table chatter with who we here call Jackboot John McCain, a guy that’s…
No wonder Jackboot John McCain can’t get any traction — Decider George has become beyond loathsome. A new ABC News poll today pretty much tells the tale: Given the global economic crisis, a record 90 percent of registered voters say the country is seriously off on the wrong track, the most since this question first…
Delusional arrogance might be the reality. Decider George is “short” — an old military term meaning the end of a person’s tour (or time in service) is quickly approaching, as in, “my time here is short” — and he’s getting ready to lift the burden of office, walk arrogantly away from this car/train/ship-wreck he’s had…
Decider George has his big-ass-Texas-ears in the air. Last February, he blubbered: “There is a constant check to make sure that our civil liberties of our citizens are treated with respect.” He was blubbering about the eavesdropping his military was conducting to hunt down terrorists via telephone conversations. A couple of these eavesdropping boots-on-the-ground, however,…
Amazing how music plays an intregal part of our lives — all music, too, even movie music. A pisser is how music can be actually played wrong. And be immorally legal. Jackboot John McCain ain’t my hero, and the Foo Fighters think so, too. News reports have surfaced the last couple of days the group…
As the country heads for the financial bottom, up pops Decider George’s White House, a cesspool of such collective villainy it staggers the brain, with a suggestion for any US peoples who are currently unemployed: Just Go Out And Get A Job, You Lazy, Worthless Sonofabitches! Sweet Miss Dana Perino (left) said during a press…
Despite Sarah Palin’s gosh-darn, flippant attitude toward war, she does need to work a bit harder on world geography. In a bullshit session last Sunday: Three days after a mostly gaffe-free debate performance, the Alaska governor fumbled during a speech in which she praised U.S. soldiers for “fighting terrorism and protecting us and our democratic…
