War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Once again as if part of an oft-repeated scenario, ground fog and warmth this early Tuesday on California’s north coast as we push on through the work week. However, for someone who’s just fed-up with work, I have nothing-but Friday on my mind. And as the planet disintegrates a little bit every few seconds, Americans…
Another normal early-morning here on California’s north coast — foggy and a bit warm even for the middle of the work week, though, this particular Wednesday is sucking up this nation’s birthday. Friday is the famous July 4 — our Independence Day (with aliens, too, but of the Hispanic variety) — but Arthur might strike…
Cloudy, damp early Thursday here on California’s north coast and more rain is expected today — we had a good splash yesterday, not anywhere near enough to replenish this dry state, but was welcomed nevertheless. Ironic laugh relief — Sarah Palin’s eye-gouging, most-literary response to the GOP incestuous blowout in Mississippi this week. Charles P.…
Clear and more on the warm side this early Thursday on California’s north coast, and from here, the weekend is just hours away. Or words to that effect. Despite another double-tornado incident, this time in North Dakota, or a major-league no-hitter, the unfolding horror of Iraq continues to dominate the news cycle — and as…
Clear and chilly this way-too-early Wednesday on California’s north coast as we plow on through another quick-as-a-dash work week. No matter the situation, time don’t stand still at all. One nasty time-buster right now is Iraq — a nightmare clock ticking away at the speed of a bullet off an AK-47 rifle, fired toward Baghdad…
(Illustration: Police escort children away from Sandy Hook Elementary School, December 2012, found here. And a shooting Tuesday at a high school in Oregon was the 74th such event since then). This is one freaked-out-crazy country. Terror in its real core is home grown, and the nutcase gun people have allowed the deep end to…
Up early this morning to some sweet news — for a change: In the most-stunning upset since Republicans took over the House of Representatives four years ago, Majority Leader Eric Cantor lost his GOP primary Tuesday to a poorly funded and disorganized Tea Party activist. David Brat, an economics professor, beat Cantor by 12 points…
Once again like clockwork, high overcast and a bit breezy this way-early Tuesday on California’s north coast — weather for all its craziness, is pretty consistent up here, especially as the air heats. And heating up, too, is the way the Internet is reacting to the NSA’s ability to see, hear and maybe even reach…
Clear and chilly this Thursday morning here on California’s north coast as we attempt to make through tomorrow — and the glorious two-day holiday! A short work week can be tougher than it looks. A lot of folks open their mouth and shit comes out, but for US Secretary of State John Kerry in remarks…
Clear and chilly this way-too-early and coming-way-too-soon Monday morning as we start our waltz into summer. Years ago, June to September lasted forever — now WTF is 90 days? And, of course, today is Memorial Day 2014 as we’re supposed to honor those who died in America’s wars — although the major problem right now…
