War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Clear this early Friday along California’s northern coast, though, rain is forecast for next week and winter’s coming whether we like it or not. The US east coast has to feel a bit in the gun-sights of apprehension as Hurricane Sandy, already called a hybrid whopper and “Frankenstorm,” could strike hard early next week —…
Last night another display of how US governance has seemingly reached the surreal level as a one-sided debate between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney revealed a GOP endorsement of a Democrat president. Romney agreed so much with Obama all during the debate, one wonders if his well-coiffed head had been shoved way-up his ass. Sweating…
Rain and deep darkness this morning on California’s northern coast, lending a sense of apprehension to this the beginning of a new work-week, and an acute awareness of something big is a-foot. Earthquakes, maybe — we had a 3.5 yesterday afternoon just 10 miles south of where I now sit on my ass, but alas…
Raining this early Tuesday morning up here along California’s northern coast, the first of the so-called rainy season, though, it did get wet back in July. And it’s fairly warm, temps expected to be in the low 60s today. Of course, the big-ticket item is tonight’s debate between President Obama and Mitt Romney and this…
Dishonest with a smile. (Illustration found here). From the Washington Post yesterday afternoon: Paul Ryan visited a soup kitchen here Saturday on his way to the airport, but by the time the GOP vice presidential nominee and his family had arrived shortly before noon, the grits, sausage and doughnuts had been served, the hall was…
Last night, Joe Biden scorched emotional during closing statements in his debate with Paul Ryan: “My name is Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.,†said the vice president, his voice choking. “Over the years I have been made an object of mockery and ridicule. I have seen pictures of me in the most humiliating positions you can…
Overcast again this morning on California’s northern coast — even had some way-light rain yesterday, so maybe winter’s here early. Big news on the dipwad-cycle is the Joe Biden/Paul Ryan knuckball debate tonight at Centre College in Danville, Kentucky, and all eyeballs will be on Joltin’ Joe to see if he can gain some traction…
Starry, starry early morning here on California’s northern coast with the skies all a-twinkle and the moon formed fingernail white. And in the breeze, a whiff of skunk, which may be the animal form, or more likely the start of harvest season, although I haven’t yet had any people doing trim work come into the…
Beginning of the week once again and the plight of life up here on California’s northern coast is a bit overcast and a bit of chill the f*ck out. Last week was seemingly too dramatic for a simple two-day weekend to compensate for, and the start of another round of work ain’t appetizing for brain…
Dense fog is back along California’s northern coast, creating a sense of depression, gothic-sadness and a feeling it’s foggy all over da world. Lede from Bloomberg this early morning screamed volumes: Where has this Mitt Romney been? And where did that Barack Obama come from? One wonders. And ponders the obvious — Sucker-punch this: Comedian…
