War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
The hand is quicker than the eye, and a double-shuffle is twice as fast. An inept laggard, however, can be just as deceiving. Cover tracks by being quiet, overlap schedules attempting to be real clever: Words and smoke screens, a taste of governmental hocus-pocus. In this case, playing with lives. According to sfgate.com, Decider George…
After what appeared to be a good, strong tongue lashing of Decider George by former President Jimmy Carter this weekend turned out to be just another wimped lay-down by someone who ought to know better, and who we thought had balls, at least of the semi-truth-telling, moral-fiber kind. What a way to wake up on…
An old sayin’ says it all: ‘You’ve got the gall…” Rumors of wars are no longer just rumors and a four-year-long excursion into a cataclysmal, non compos mentis has retched the very fabric of the entire freaking planet. Decider George and his crew might have released a kind of slow doomsday machine, which once activated,…
An unraveling continues for Decider George and his henchmen, or cronies, or in some instances, his sidekicks. Just about every day some cursed scandal flops its head, opens up and spews out some really, really gosh-awful dung. Akin, maybe, to the world-at large peeling away the layers of an onion, but instead of finding�the heart…
Today could be the big day for the Wolfman. The World Bank’s board is supposed to make a decision whether or not give him a swift boot to the ass. The nasty scandal will soon die, but the Wolfman will live on. According to ABC News (blogs.abcnews.com/theblotter), the board on Wednesday put the finishing touches…
Threads in a thin-clothed, unscrupulous coat can sometimes completely unravel in a couple of buffs of wind. If considering the banking industry as a whole, especially way up on an international financial ladder, one would believe those involved in the whole process are fairly well-educated, have some hint of decorum. Paul Wolfowitz, former highly-incompetent war-brain…
As the last half on May approaches, sometimes we get the feeling that events are not only catching up with us, but somehow they are passing us by in a cloud of smoke. Clarity can be choked off as chaos, both in the world and in our private, little supposedly secure lives, grows and grows…
Is global warming for real? Does it threaten our country? A lot of smart people think so, but a lot of dumb-ass people don’t. In one of the most ludricous encounters I’ve heard of in some time occurred this past in an apparent ongoing verbal battle on whether the CIA should spend time and money…
As if Decider George hadn’t done enough carnage for a couple dozen adminstrations, now the policies he and his cohorts have concocted and implemented may finally whip-up some real-nasty dung. Yesterday, Russia’s own Vadimir V. Putin (probably the perfect snicker last name, a name out of a Will Ferrell/Ben Stiller/early Woody Allen comedy) gave a…
Dufus Dick Cheney flew into Baghdad early this morning, wearing a fashion-conscious bullet-proof garment under his sport coat, which at first glimpse, looked a lot like a nice, cordoroy vest. Dufus Dick is in Iraq to try and stir up some freaking success without lying about it. He couldn’t find any so he lied. “Everyone…
