War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
(Illustration via CNN of Aurora, Colorado, theater where 14 moviegoers were killed early Friday). Awoke to some horror this morning — at least 14 people were shot dead and 50 wounded during a nut-wad shooting at a theater in Colorado during an opening-day screening of the new Batman movie, “The Dark Knight Rises,” but from…
Mitt Romney and George Jr. the night of Feb. 8, 2002, the opening of the Salt Lake City Olympic games: As the Mormon Tabernacle Choir’s rendition of the national anthem echoed off the snow-dusted mountains, the 43rd President turned to the man who now could be the 45th and marveled, “That was a great moment. 
Raining up here on California’s northern coast this morning, but unlike Babbling Brook Benton, I don’t feel like it’s raining all over the world. Mitt Romney might, however. Watching this wealthy nut-ball roll across the political landscape, I think Romney is actually running not to win — he’s in this thing just for the trip…
Even as this work week starts, the political bile never gets a day off as the presidential campaign is geared and rigged to be as mean and nasty as possible. And so way-hypocritical by the way of the bonkers GOP. The Donald Trump claims (among a shitload of others) that how President Obama running the…
In the same way-ugly stain of Mitt Romney’s financial, near- fraudulent bullshit this past week, the Office of the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction Funds issued its final audit account on Friday, the take-away bottom line: “The precise amount lost to fraud and waste can never be known,†the report said. And we’re not…
Tonight a couple of assholes will rub cheeks together and laugh at the marvelous things life can bring while wolfing down $30,000-a-plate beef on toast — never the twain more ugly to meet. Mitt Romney will visit The Dick‘s lair in Jackson Hole, Wyo., for yet another high-dollar fundraiser in attempt to purchase at-cost the…
AFTERNOON UPDATE (Below) One can truly believe Republicans are all mouth but no brains — knock it down without any talk of an alternative: In the last year and a half, House Republicans have sent the Senate just one 36-page bill designed to limit medical malpractice lawsuits, despite pledging to develop detailed legislation to slow…
Early this Tuesday, not quite 4 A.M. here on California’s northern coast, a morning of cool, moist fog with a day ahead of most likely the same — the sun might burn it off later on, then again it might not. A much-horrible contrast to the rest of the US. The eastern seaboard and mid-section…
Hiding in plain sight behind the crazed presidential election and the extreme weather experienced by most US peoples the last couple of weeks, the killing fields of Afghanistan are still being plowed. Six US troops were killed yesterday in a single IED blast in eastern Afghanistan, where fighting has started to increase in recent weeks…
One snap indication of just how malicious life has become in public discourse was the incident yesterday when a Mitt Romney supporter, 77, gagged a rally protester by shoving a handkerchief into the 25-year-old union worker’s mouth. Just civil rights, that’s all: “He seemed thirsty, so I tried to shove the bottle in his mouth,”…
