War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Sleep wasn’t too happy this cycle — insomnia is a baffling infliction, hard to judge and makes a mess of a day. But, what the hey? Wee-early is crazy time. Fer instance, Tom Brady’s old lady gets whipped after whining — Gisele Bundchen was overheard lambasting fumble-fingered receivers, but the Giants’ Brandon Jacobs retorted: “She…
Last week, when Mitt Romney blubbered, “I’m not concerned about the very poor,” he later waddled back, claiming he “mispoke.” In reality, the Mitt told the truth — if one has money, who gives a shit. And cartoon-buffoon, mega-rich Don Trump on Monday silly-like claimed credit for Romney’s win in Nevada’s GOP caucus over the…
Pig skin and history: Ground acquisition. And that’s what football is, football’s a ground acquisition game. You knock the crap out of eleven guys and take their land away from them. Of course, we only do it ten yards at a time. That’s the way we did it with the Indians — we won it…
After a visit to the laundromat this morning, I put another $20 worth of gas in the old, problem-plagued Jeep, wincing (both the Jeep and I) at a pump price of $3.99 a gallon for regular — up more than a dime since the last time. And apparently based on the so-called favorable employment report…
Any half-sane person is by now sick to the bowels of the GOP — Mitt Romney won the Florida primary, but the question posed: Who gives a shit? Although President Obama is most-likely the most-disappointing leader in US history, he’s leagues above Romney and the rest of his half-assed, ignorant Republican buddies, as the above-mentioned…
Evening into morning — and everything is still dark. Some overriding health issues have caused me to have not a good night, thus, creating less-ability to compose coherent thoughts, and way-harder to transfer to blog lines (was about to write paper, but that’s so 1970s). There’s plenty out yonder in the big, wide world to…
Sunrise this morning was a cool blue eastern sky here on California’s northern coast — so far a much-warmer winter, and a much-drier season than normal. Old-time local folks say a throwback to the 1960s. And as a guy working a liquor store, people do discuss the weather. Comments border on the incredulous for the…
Using Osama bin Laden as a kind of verbal bookends, President Obama jumped on reality with a touch of a man-up pose in his state-of-the-union speech last night, calling on the US to “restore an economy where everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same set of…
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…
(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…
