War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Even as the wide-spreading Occupy Wall Street movement enters its second month, a major protest point has been nearly forgotten, or at least hasn’t been placed near/at the top of the list — climate change. The shit on Wall Street is nestled right in with the globe’s quickly-spinning out-of-control climate. A major case in point…
Yesterday, I put another $20 worth of gas in the old Jeep with the pump price down now to $3.99 a gallon for regular — a dime drop since the last time we visited a gas station. In a strange setting, gas-pump prices have continued to descend, but are still way-high: Retail gasoline prices fell…
One thing that aggravates me to no end is George Jr. — the man can’t really disappear because of all the horror he left behind haunts the entire planet. Now he’s afraid US troops don’t love him anymore: “They hadn’t seen me and they hadn’t seen me with the troops,” he said. “So therefore I…
Jobs has finally topped the news cycle with an overpowering media assault and now maybe more US peoples will have a chance at getting employed… Whoa, wait a sec! Not that kind of jobs, dumb ass! Yes, Steve Jobs is dead. Two things there — one, life is really, really fleeting, he was only 56,…

Not only do Republicans have no sense of government, they are allowing the most-horrendous problem this earth and its inhabitants have ever…
The Gulf of Mexico: Seen from space, seemingly shimmering in shades of 3-D-green-and-blue, looking so fertile, sprawled open like a priceless pearl floating carefree in that proverbial oyster bed of life — a most-wondrous sight of nature. (Illustration found here). Yeah, well, not so fast there Juan Ponce de Leon: One might want to place…
Even as President Obama attempts to throw out some kind of jobs plan tonight — the hornet’s nest in the US economy right now — one problem that’s quickly creeping worse strikes at the heart of life — food. The UN Food and Agriculture Organization reports global food prices remain high — especially wheat, rice…
Just as tropical storm warnings were issued Friday for the Gulf of Mexico, there’s come reports the infamous BP Deepwater Horizon oil disaster is coming back to life.
