War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Always been a great fan of Maurits Cornelis Escher, or just MC Escher, as he’s more-popularly known, and his artworks has always flooded my brain with all kinds of twisted and delicious images of how reality functions. Some of his more-well known drawings can be found here and here and here — my most-favorite (and…
Quiet and sad this morning up here on California’s north coast, with the ugliest of ugly shit falling like scalding rain all over everywhere else, it seems. This planet is wedged into a gnarly pickle. And this morning, a report two more US GIs were shot and killed today in Afghanistan by another one of…
Starry-starry night early this Tuesday morning on California’s northern coast — first time in a long time stars can be seen in a clear sky and hopefully in a little while the sun will come up like thunder from the east. Weather is weird, huh. Always been that way, though, somewhat predictable for the region,…
US peoples, do you understand what you’re actually seeing? In 2008, I though John McCain was the way-worst-ever presidential contender in all of US political history — but was I freakin’ wrong! The 2012 GOP version, however, is beyond the measure — and this morning Mitt Romney even went further in creating a possible funeral…
Seven US peoples have been killed in Afghanistan the last few hours, but where’s the political outcry? The Washington Post laments: Yet this may be the first presidential campaign in U.S. history in which an ongoing war fails to produce a significant debate. Explicitly or implicitly, the candidates have successfully encouraged much of the media to…
Sitting here this early Thursday morning surrounded by quiet, I can hear shit plop a mile away. Jezebel reflects: This whole Chick-Fil-A debacle, it seems, is all fat people’s fault. This might be a great week to be a chicken, but it’s the fucking worst week to be a fat gay guy. Apparently, the entire…
Foggy, quiet and a bit chilly again this morning up here on California’s north coast, the same ordinary for us the last few weeks — can’t remember the last time I woke up to clear skies and stars twinkling. Not so on the other side of the US: The Northeast Regional Climate Center at Cornell University…
Fog/drizzle this morning up here on California’s northern coast, a mighty contrast to the rest of the US, and most-likely, a huge chunk of the planet. Bad news continues with another mass killing in Wisconsin, this time apparently with religious/racial overtones, and the bizarre link in the shooting deaths of two Brooklyn, NY, shopkeepers, both…
Another Friday morning, but I’m not feeling it this week. Old, twitching health problems have spring up this morning, complicating a fragile, personal ecosystem — and making the end of the work week more than just a day on the calendar. Added to the toasted brain is the arrival tonight of my younger brother, who…
One of the extreme-first indications President Obama was more creative-mouth than actual action was the announced appointment in December 2008 of those two knuckle-headed financial assholes Timmy Geithner and Larry Summers to his incoming administration — a move putting conniving foxes in charge of an already-looted hen house. Wall Street, and its gun-toting ‘tarded’ cousin,…
