War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
“You are a menace. A walking pestilence.” — Dr. Zaius (Illustration found here). The GOP got tea-brained: House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) didn’t sound terribly convinced himself when he announced the Republicans’ last stand to reporters. “The president provided, uh, a one-year delay of the employer mandate,” he said. “He’s provided exceptions, uh, for unions,…
Rain and more rain this early Sunday along California’s north coast, all part of a giant and nasty storm system now slapping hard at the US Pacific Northwest. Sucking up water from former Typhoon Pabuk’s moisture, the storm stalled over the Gulf of Alaska in order to build power and then swept into Washington and Oregon…
Clear and cold this Thursday morning along California’s northern coast — the moon hanging like a fat-ass fingernail in the eastern sky. And the sound of the peaceful Pacific Ocean can heard roaring a couple of miles away, like an express train coming down the tracks, but going nowhere. Just like parts of the Left…
An icon of bat-shit crazy said some funny — Sarah Palin unloads advice in a fevered essay at breitbart.com — heart of the dark matter: Ignore the peanut gallery pundits. They’ve written my political obituary so many times, I’m practically Lazarus. Now they’re trying to destroy Ted Cruz. Good luck with that, you weasels. Texans are…
A dark, dreary and dismal-looking overcast sky this early Sunday morning here on California’s north coast — more rain coming, it looks like. If those two guys in that photo on the left look like pretentious assholes, it’s because they are, and from all appearances do indeed carry an aura of being total dick-heads —…
The illustration above came via The Big Picture and can be originally found here. And the source was Mother Jones — from a study now two years old! The trend appeared to be no coincidence in light of the proliferation of guns and looser gun laws nationwide. One leading criminologist took issue with our criteria, arguing that…
Clear sunshine and a chilly breeze this Sunday morning on California’s north coast as the world starts a new week and a new month — both will have its share of bullshit. In the last few hours/days, all kind of crazy, like President Obama backtracking again on Syria, calling on the US Congress to make the…
Welcome to harsh-reality’s end of the week — Friday! Another day, another life — sweltering, near-unlivable conditions up here on California’s north coast: The U.S. National Weather Service reports that the temperature in Eureka reached a staggering (‘round these parts) 73°, edging out the previous record of 71° set way back in aught three of…
Mid-week already, and nothing to show for it beyond two days of work. Fog again this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast, and a bit chilly, but according to the way-recent-past, it should be warm and sunny by noon. Apparently, President Obama has to be watched. Maybe the NSA can help keep an eye on…
Fog again this way-too-early Tuesday as we pound on through the week — we just getting started. And how do I know? — spy in the sky, in the ground and all around. Ironic reform — President Obama has ordered up a review panel of the NSA bullshit …but: The panel will be chosen by,…
