War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
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…
Another beautiful early morning here on California’s northern coast, still again with bright stars twinkling in the sky — after weeks and seemingly months of fog, these last few days have been neat. And warm, too, causing me sometimes to forget were I’m at. Beyond this euphoric weather, the big story this morning is what…
Another gorgeous early morning up here on California’s northern coast with stars glittering the sky and the waning moon still pulsating with light — supposed to be another warm day, the high expected to be ’72,’ which for us is like 102 elsewhere. Across the spectrum, though, life is a bitch, or whatever. President Obama…
Another freakin’ Monday no matter how you look at it — clear skies again along California’s northern coast with stars twinkling and the near-full moon hanging like a bright eye-hole in the sky. Although the serene scene where I’m located runs opposite to shit happening all over — more NATO troops die in Afghanistan, Iraqis…
Middle-of-the-week and time just keeps on keeping on. Opposite asshole bit of the week — US kids are too fat to kill other people. In a new report called, “Still Too Fat to Fight,†some retired military 1 per-centers whine young obese Americans are endangering national security: “It’s clear to us that our military readiness…
Clear skies and chilly this early Monday along California’s northern coast and maybe despite the calender, Indian Summer might still with us. Not so long ago, weather talk was a nice way to pass the time, a gentle way to bullshit without upsetting anyone, people all knew chatting about the weather was a pleasent non-controversial…
Overcast once again this morning on California’s northern coast and seemingly warmer, too. In this high-level fog, the air is quiet and still. Nature, however, is beyond calm. If we can move beyond the getting-more-stupid phase of US politics (i.e., Mitt Romney) and into the most-dreaded of upcoming events most are only aware on a…
