War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Political lying as an art form: Take last Thursday’s Republican debate in South Carolina. Hundreds of G.O.P. voters applauded as Newt Gingrich blasted CNN’s John King for raising an accusation about marriage and sex in presidential politics. These same voters, I have no doubt, would have cheered Gingrich for doing just that in 1998 when…
Subject to be most discussed this morning here in northern California — the 49ers loss yesterday to the New York Giants. Personally, I don’t give a fat-rat’s-ass, but this from fumble-bum Kyle Williams typified a lot of shit: “Everyone in here told me to keep my head up and it’s not on me,” said Williams,…
A horse walks into a bar in South Carolina, the bartender asks: Why the long face? A newt peed on me, answers the horse. The chaotic mess of the GOP primary is finally over and Newt Gingrich urinated on everything. In shame of Republicans, half-crazed Steven Colbert humiliated the entire process by shoving the way-ugly…
(Illustration found here). In the US today, apparently all collective eyes were glued to South Carolina where intelligence-deficit Republicans held their primary to select from among a short-list of bullshitters a warm body to run against President Obama this November. And Newt Gingrich is now the man of the hour — a later laugh is…
(Illustration found here). This morning just about everything I read/look at is pure shit. If the Republicans have one more debate I might blow chunks all over my laptop — the blow-hole event last night was enough to make anyone sick to their inner-most bowels with such empty, vain-glory bluster that anyone not of this…
Meanwhile, beyond the SOPA blackout/back-peddle, and the nasty, bitch-slapping noise in South Carolina from GOP presidential nit-twits vying for richest asshole, there’s the non-stop horror of climate change. Climate what? Last year, despite all kinds of horrible weather/climate shit, the news media has way-down-played climate change as anything more than a storm in passing —…
On Saturday, I put another $20 worth of gas in the old Jeep, the pump price still at $3.83 a gallon for regular here on California’s northern coast. Meanwhile, with all the frantic activity amongst various warships in the Strait of Hormuz, the US average of gas at the pump was up 7 cents in…
No big deal — Mitt Romney wins the New Hampshire primary and the GOP whore-wagon grinds on to South Carolina, where the pack gathers for a nit-picking contest there on Jan. 21. The only applaudable event last night was the bottom finish for a couple of dick-Rick-bottom-feeders — Santorum and Perry — and maybe now…
In case you didn’t know already, this is the last evening of 2011. And if you didn’t have your collective head up your collective ass, you know the past 12 months have been shitsville. “There are a lot of reasons not to elect me.” — Mitt Romney, last September Beyond tomorrow, the Iowa caucus crap-shoot…
The nastiest catfight right now is taking place in the frozen wastelands of Iowa — and it’s all bullshit and way-dumb. Top-of-the-hat, ‘fer instance — Newt Gingrich thinks Sara Palin rocks and would a most-excellent running mate: “She is certainly one of the people you would look at,†he responded. “I am a great admirer…
