War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Ground fog and darkness this early, way-too-soon Monday — and this morning, along with the night, no electrical power. Although it’s been a long while since there’d been any kind of power outage around here, it’s still not any fun waking up to a deep–dark. The clock radio was silent and with no little light…
Deep ground fog this early Wednesday here on California’s north coast, and a bit on the chilly side, as we clutch our way on down through the work week. Hard to fathom the summer’s almost over, and fall is falling hard at us. History is past participle to the allusion of the future. In a…
Yesterday, a bridge created going nowhere: “We tortured some folks. We did some things that were contrary to our values. I understand why it happened. I think it’s important when we look back to recall how afraid people were after the Twin Towers fell, and the Pentagon had been hit, and a plane in Pennsylvania had…
This past weekend, Sarah Palin supposedly launched her own online network, where for $9.55 a month (or $99.95 for a whole year) a subscriber can binge on Palin’s witless wit: “I want to talk directly to you on our channel, on my terms — and no need to please the powers that be. Together, we’ll go…
Overcast and a bit on the gloomy side this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, no fog but a deep, empty silence. Usually I can hear the Pacific Ocean making some kind of noise only a mile or so away, but this morning all is quiet. The news cycle ain’t at all. Apparently from all…
Overcast and a bit of ground fog this way-too-early Friday on California’s north coast as we look the weekend square in the eyes — and Saturday blinked. The air’s somewhat cooler this morning, too, so maybe we’re catching some of that polar vortex shit. Meanwhile, out in the world, real shit is hitting the fan.…
Thick ground fog and a deep quiet this early Tuesday on California’s north coast in a typical weather scenario for the area — misty wet until about noon, then sunshine. And in the mid-60s, which is nearly 20 degrees cooler than just a few, scant miles inland. Worse piece of shit: “That ought to be…
Foggy and chilly this way-too-early Monday on California’s north coast as the weekend officially comes to an abrupt end without much fanfare. An ugly morning is a Monday. And speaking of pure ugly — on Friday, US House GOPers passed a ludicrous, dumb-ass business tax-cut measure ‘with no effort to pay for or offset that…
Fog and silence this early Friday on California’s north coast and we finally have the weekend staring us in the face. Weather is typical summer here — fog in the morning, sunshine and wind in the afternoon, though, yesterday was more fog than shine. And in new yearly rainfall totals for us was reported this week,…
Ground fog, and this morning, a bit on the cool side for us up here on California’s north coast as we bleed on through the week. Time moves pretty fast, but sometimes not fast enough. And on the news front this early morn, is the appearance of sameness with the added effect of bullshit. There’s…
