War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Hard-work at quick greed. Schemes without any authentic reason for existence, other than to apparently put the pinch on unsuspecting people, have been around since times immemorial. We here at Compatible Creatures have always felt the term, “times immemorial,” as kind of boorish, but actually in this sense it works: The phrase comes from old…
Mankind has a combination fault present in the genes of everyone since the beginning: Either desire to quickly blame someone, or present a false cloak — a tendency toward the wide-mouthed defect of hypocrisy. Bibical Adam blamed Eve, she in turn blamed the snake. They knew, however, the lure of the devil/snake gripped them both:…
One of the pop-up phrases floating up through the ether nowadays is “exit strategy,” which means just how are we supposed to get out of this complete and total mess. Custer didn’t have one at the Little Big Horn. The Vietnam conflict didn’t have one. And now Decider George doesn’t have one either, not for…
Just as summer follows spring, fall before winter, the blues of June seem to wreck reciprocity upon the very gray matters that surround us all. June brides eventually compromise their principles and become the dread we fear. More to come… You know, we’re so freaking’ blue we can’t finish this freakin’ post.
After a fairy-tale hero’s welcome in Albania, Decider George has come home to the reality of an administration not unlike the Titantic rushing headlong to a rendezvous with an iceberg. Unable to muster enough votes to do anything constructive on the never-ending immigration bill, Decider George still has the Attorney General Alberto “Don’t Recall” Gonzales…
“Liar, liar, pants on fire.” This morning, I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, Dufus Dick Chaney’s former chief of staff, was sentenced in federal court to 30 month in prison for lying his ass off and trying to obstruct justice. He was also fined $250,00. Scooter was found guilty in March of five counts of trying to…
Sad news yesterday when it was reported Cindy Sheehan was taking leave of the antiwar movement. Despite all the popularity she’d achieved in the war against the war, Sheehan claims the non-responsive Democrats in Congress after the mid-term elections last fall tipped the scales. In her postings on the liberal online Daily Kos, Sheehan wrote…
As the US marks another Memorial Day, the vicious lies and propaganda spewing forth from Decider George and his crowd of low-life henchmen is enough to make those who died for this country roll over in their graves and weep. The so-called patriotic adage of “My Country Right Or Wrong” is a cause for far…
As the earth warms, toxic, noxious gases are released from anuses of certain bottom-dwelling, obtuse, but insolent creatures. Quite a number of these human-like slugs grow up to be president. Decider George has once again shown his ability to understand which direction the wind is blowing, and, once again he’s demonstrated the fact the world…
What is private grief? Go off alone and cry? Hide it and tough it out, in private, within your own self? What, for hard-crap’s sake, is public grief? This morning a very private, horrific heartbreak became public, which in turn, touched a sad, and increasingly-abhorrent nerve. Coffee ingestion was relocated to the back patio, out…
