War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Quiet again this morning here on California’s northern coast and the roar of the Pacific can be faintly heard in the distance — about opposite on the US eastern seaboard, where bad shit reigns (and rains). So far, not as bad as the picture at left seems to depict (via, of course, The Hollwood Reporter):…
Wet and quiet this morning on California’s northern coast — the damp due to heavy fog during the night, which left the air a bit more warm than usual. A way-different story to the way-east as some bad shit is about to hit the fan hard — the US mid-Atlantic seaboard is bracing itself up…
(Illustration found here). Last night’s presidential debate between President Obama and Mitt Romney was a fun-fest, stomp-nosed look at how ludicrous US politics has become, but did allow at last a small peek into how vast and empty the GOP challenger — Romney’s camp may now give more than a shit about fact-checkers. In that…
Raining this early Tuesday morning up here along California’s northern coast, the first of the so-called rainy season, though, it did get wet back in July. And it’s fairly warm, temps expected to be in the low 60s today. Of course, the big-ticket item is tonight’s debate between President Obama and Mitt Romney and this…
One wonders at the cost, and the why: Austrian skydiver Felix Baumgartner broke the speed of sound — at one point hitting Mach 1.24, according to a team official — during his record-setting jump from 128,000 feet Sunday over southeastern New Mexico. This the wonder: Gas prices remain 40 cents above year ago prices and…
Overcast again this morning on California’s northern coast — even had some way-light rain yesterday, so maybe winter’s here early. Big news on the dipwad-cycle is the Joe Biden/Paul Ryan knuckball debate tonight at Centre College in Danville, Kentucky, and all eyeballs will be on Joltin’ Joe to see if he can gain some traction…
Lost in all the political donkey/elephant shit spewed last week over the presidential debate, and, yesterday’s right-wing absurd silliness about the drop in the employment rate, was this, which should-have-been a headline-grabbing horror: “We know Arctic sea ice is declining faster than the models predict,” Mann told the Guardian at the SXSW Eco conference in…
Clear skies and chilly this early Monday along California’s northern coast and maybe despite the calender, Indian Summer might still with us. Not so long ago, weather talk was a nice way to pass the time, a gentle way to bullshit without upsetting anyone, people all knew chatting about the weather was a pleasent non-controversial…
Another way-quick end to the workweek and this morning along California’s northern coast is about like yesterday, and the day before, and the day before — overcast and moist. Yesterday was fog-laded and chilly — the sun made brief appearances, but was crowded out by clouds. Forecasts for this part of the US via climate…
Overcast and a bit windy this morning up here along California’s northern coast, but who’s to know how the day will be — not I. Yesterday, the fog didn’t burn off until mid-afternoon and the air carried a chill with not much warmth coming off the sunshine, unless one found a wind-break. Weather’s gettin’ weird.…
