War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Drizzling rain through a thick ground fog — this early Friday weather along California’s northern coast as we begin the weekend outlook with a throat slashing. Today starts the infamous sequester — run for the hills! Or run somewhere. Due to incompetence and nasty indifference, the US Congress along with President Obama are letting the…
Here we go again — another Monday morning here on California’s northern coast, facing a week ahead full of strange, wondrous and most-ugly shit from both inside and outside the noodle. High overcast with the near-full moon a puffer-ed, white eyeball staring through the clouds and occasionally winking, as in ‘wink, wink, nudge, nudge.’ Of…
Another Sunday morning, the last one of February, and the next few days will lead up to a new month but the same-old shit. On Friday, a legislative trigger will automatically snap back, force the hammer down and pop a cap at who/whatever’s in the vicinity – unfortunately, just about all regular Americans will catch at least…
Once again, cloudy and drizzling rain this Tuesday morning up here along California’s northern coast — quiet and easy. Life all over ain’t so as scouring the news reveals it’s the Same Old Shit causing much of the problems, but in this particular age, there’s really no alternative. As a so-called baby boomer, my age…
Clear and a bit chilly this early Tuesday morning along California’s northern coast as 2013 continues to move at a fairly-rapid pace into a new year. History is right now. Just a side note on Aaron Swartz — he was facing decades in prison: It should be noted that Swartz faced such a stiff sentence because…
Wet, chilly and highly-gothic here on California’s northern coast this Saturday evening, drizzling rain since early on, creating a sad, thoughtful sense of purpose. Surfing the news sites seeking attention for my seemingly near-insatiable, up-to-the-second addiction for current events, apparently life seemingly has flat-lined as we crawl out from under the hideous holiday season —…
Another clear and cold morning here on California’s northern coast and if the last couple of days are any indication, this one too should turn out pretty nice. Weather up here is hard to gauge — we can summer days in January and winter days in June. Life is a bit loco up here —…
Clear and cold this morning along California’s northern coast, this the absolute-last day of 2012, which in relation to previous years, wasn’t all that great, and apparently won’t end graciously, either. The word, “weather,” will be one of the words used to describe the dying 2012, not only in the meteorological format, but also in…
Crystal clear and covered in bright sunshine this early Sunday morning along California’s northern coast and on this extreme-last Sunday of 2012, the future beckons with skeletal fingers. And we’re hanging by the short hairs: The accelerating cycles of capitalism’s creative disruption have reached a new velocity with the basic form known as stock trading.…
Crazy-ass world we now inhabit — although it’s wet and chilly this morning up here along California’s northern coast, the weather across the US is odd-ball at best. An indication is snow fall — last March, Chicago got some snow, but now have gone 281 straight day without the white stuff, while slightly to the…
