Lamenting the Deplorable

Slivers of faded-yellow sunshine this early Thursday on California’s north coast — big rainstorm due this afternoon, and will supposedly drench-over into all day tomorrow. Weather the system, but not the climate — an unpresidented gloom in the T-Rump atmosphere: It is about the candidate who was picked as president by the electoral college on Monday.…

Vlad the T-Rump Impaler

Overcast-gray this Thursday morning here on California’s north coast, a respite from the rainstorms sweeping the area this week. Sunshine maybe tomorrow… Peculiar and frightful the chart to the right, Republicans have gone insane — via HuffPost yesterday: Russian President Vladimir Putin’s net favorable rating among Republicans has climbed by an astonishing 56 percentage points since…

T-Rump, Climate Change and ‘Nobody Really Knows’

Some sunshine this Sunday morning on California’s north coast, but mostly overcast. Surreal darkly is T-Rump on TV, fork-tonguing on Fox News —  first on Russkies hacking the US election (Yahoo): ‘“I think it’s just another excuse. I don’t believe it…I think it’s ridiculous.”‘ And on climate change happening and the EPA (Washington Post): ‘“I’m…

Twit-Ass T-Rump

Raining-darkly this Friday morning on California’s north coast. According forecasts, we should stay wet at least until Monday, and even then it’s still likely there’s going to be drizzle.

Journalism and T-Rump

Sharp, clean sunshine this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, way-chilly, though. As a former newspaper writer-person, reporting on T-Rump and his off-vibrates has got to be  weird as shit — for the first-time ever in public discourse, lying is the new reality. Journalism has a challenge — CNN‘s Christiane Amanpour nailed the bottom-line in…

‘Tipping Points’ to Reality — T-Rump and Climate

Sunshine shines right now this Monday morning on California’s north coast — rain again this afternoon (about 40-percent chance), and supposedly a nice stretch of clear skies by Thursday, and brightly, hopefully further  on into the weekend.

T-Rump AG: ‘Good People Don’t Smoke Marijuana’

Steady rainfall pushed by a chilled wind this bleak, not yet black Friday on California’s north coast — a drenching through the weekend. As smoke clears off the turkey, one local issue of concern in the continuing T-Rump travails is the question on the status of marijuana. Mark Kleiman, who served as Washington state’s top…
