War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
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 again this morning, seemingly-like creating a trend — now three days in a row where I can actually see the sun come up without the silly fog. And here on California’s northern coast, the sound of the nowhere-peaceful Pacific can heard roaring through the air. A check on the news seems to produce…
Clear skies this early Wednesday morning — rare up here on California’s northern coast. And what’s more than rare is reality. After all the bullshit, this is really what rings true: Given Mitt Romney’s limited intellect and his clumsy people skills, the odds are that he never would have made it very far in America…
Deep fog this early Monday morning along California’s northern coast — nothing unusual here, but along the Eastern seaboard and the Midwest heavy rains will soak people struggling to start the new workweek. However, the way the air has been feeling up here lately, we’re going to most-likely have a much wetter winter ahead. We…
One regret I’ve had (among a whopper list) is that I’ve never been a homeowner, though, for many years I was eligible for a VA loan via the GI Bill. Nowadays owning a home can be disastrous. In 2008, there were more than 3 million home-foreclosure filings, up 81 percent from 2007 and 225 percent…
Once again, early morning here on California’s northern coast and another quiet beginning to the day — not much sunshine lately, except for some rays spattering across the landscape in the middle of the afternoons. My first gape at the news seems to find the same — not much light amongst the overcast. Beyond Prince…
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…
Another foggy, moist morning here on California’s north coast, though, typical of the region, weather is like a series of smoke and mirrors — clouds of tiny bullshit droplets disguise reality. And judging real time has become a kind of rigged liar’s poker. A gut-grabber on the front-lines of political-spewed pot ash: Yes, one of…
