War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Fog-bound again this early Thursday and a bit on the chilly side for this part of California’s northern coast — the sunshine will burn through before mid-day, always does. Life is expectant. The NSA/surveillance shit-storm thrust out into the public by young Eddie Snowden has indeed ignited the US public into questioning whether all this…
Crystal-clear skies and a bit on the chilly side this fourth of July Thursday on California’s north coast — the sound of the Pacific Ocean a quiet moan from the west. Life continues whether we want it to or not. Despite other big shit happening — Egypt’s on another late-spring uprising, the Arizona wildfire that…
Another middle-of-the-week Wednesday with high overcast skies and chilly temperatures here on California’s northern coast — the weekend now a faint, pulsating glow in the near-distance. Only lately have I really, really sought the weekends — I must be getting really, really tired of my week days. Duh! Ed Snowden is a tortured gift that keeps…
Another Tuesday morning here on California’s north coast with some high overcast and bit of a chill in the air. The week keeps on moving. And the commuting trials and tribulations of Ed Snowden continues as he searches out the earth for a new home. Although he no longer has Russia on the list, Vladimir…
A bit of lingering fog this early Monday on California’s north coast with most-beautiful weather continuing on into a new work week. However, it’s pretty-much shitsville everywhere else. Nineteen firefighters were killed yesterday in Arizona — an entire ‘elite’ fire crew — and the western US as a whole has become no more than a furnace…
Raining again this Tuesday morning on California’s north coast and the world keeps right-on skipping to a drumming noise on the roof, or is that the news media? As we speak (or write), Ed Snowden’s whereabouts remains a mystery — the huge, military apparatus of the US hasn’t been able to find the kid, mainly…
Foggy and a bit on the drizzly side this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — we’ve a 30 percent chance for more rain today, but the sun will peek out sometime later, somehow it always does. And despite a shitload of other news happening, the NSA escapade also somehow peeks its nefarious face out…
Ground fog and way-oddly quiet this here-already Monday morning along California’s north coast, and the Pacific Ocean only a mile or so away, can’t be heard at all — usually there’s at least a muted roar from the west. In the still of near-silence, an image of a world far, far away. Yet the imagination…
Another dark, gloomy and overcast morning here on California’s north coast, though, as a Thursday, we’re much closer to the weekend than we were yesterday. Which does say something, but what? And as times passes, Americans view NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden in a different light: Roughly one in three Americans say the former security contractor…
High overcast with a slightly-chilled wind this way-early Monday as we carrom into another new work week, leaving behind the rat-tailed dump of private-first-class droppings — or what’s now called, ‘Boundless Informant.’ Apparently, there’s no bottom to the data suck. On Saturday, the UK’s Guardian revealed the NSA whistleblower as American citizen Edward Snowden, a 29-year-old…
