War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Last night at a Iowa fundraiser, Bernie Sanders proclaimed about the entire Republican Party: “They suffer from amnesia.” Mental incoherence is required — under the watch of the last GOP president: Worse attack ever on US soil, created a never-ending war in the Middle East, worse-ever response to a natural disaster, and, was oblivious to a…
Wet outside this Sunday morning on California’s north coast with rain becoming drizzle, then back to actual rain again — heaviest rainfall earlier in the dark, and now this particular storm-front appears fading away. And seemingly-maybe the season be upon us, more rain forecast for Tuesday night, or sooner. Weather-related: Another climate-change study — this…
As the fall turns into winter here on California’s north coast, another nasty-nugget from the lie-archives of the Iraqi war — according to a leaked memo, in public, Tony Blair was a seeker of peace, in private he was in war-cahoots with George W at least a year before the invasion. Ironic considering the GOP-inflamed…
In the long, tortured life of us baby boomers, Dick Nixon is the sweating, nefarious crank in our history, always the turd floating across the ages to become the anchor-villain of modern American politics. Apparently the guy was a bigger asshole than we’d figured, and way-creepier. Watergate guy and super-rich ‘journalist,’ Bob Woodward, got his…
Clear and chilly this Tuesday morning on California’s north coast as the sun came up like a shock — after days of fog-shrouded early daylight, the outside looks weird. Nice, though. Forecast for rain this weekend — 75 percent chance right now, but in the course of the nowadays and the weather, we’ll just have…
Sunshine, some fleeting clouds and warmth this Thursday afternoon on California’s north coast — feels like summer out there. Yet January could be June where we’re at, or reversed. Hurricane Oho out in the central Pacific will create some 13-to-15-feet breakers along our shoreline tomorrow and this weekend — Oho will provide a ‘very unusual…
Sunshine this Monday afternoon on California’s north coast with a fog bank drifting in place just down the street, creating cooler temperatures than yesterday — overall, however, we’re shooting mostly for good weather for awhile. In the context of shooting, hard to fathom the National Rifle Association actually existing, one of the most-horrid organizations in…
Shocker and non-shocker: Another school shooting today at a community college in Oregon, reports currently differ on those killed, CNN says 10, NBC with 13, with more than 20 injured — the shooter, a 20-year-old kid was killed by police. In this latest horror, President Obama conveyed the sense: “Somehow this has become routine. The reporting…
Sunshine, a few fluffy clouds and warm air here near-noon Friday, and the outlook for the weekend onward looks good, though, the rain forecast for next Wednesday has already evaporated, or whatever. Tears trembling down like rain in the news this morning, however, as John ‘The Boner‘ Boehner calls it quits: ‘“Last night I started thinking…
Bright sunshine and warm skies this noon Wednesday on California’s north coast, and with the first day of Autumn, a new season to worry about the weather. At least according to the NWS, the environment is supposed to be some-type ‘sunny’ through the coming weekend, a seemingly lapse before the weirdness of winter and the…
