War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Rare for me to be up this early on a Saturday, yet here I am at 4 AM peeking at a world seemingly gone mad as a hatter. The hourglass is empty The horsemen are prepared The hollow men are marching The wind is softly crying… A millstone’s falling from the sky The clouds are…
One of the major problems confronting the US right now (might be THE problem) is the nit-wit clueless ignorance of Republicans and just about anyone on the right. And it’s a ‘not my job‘ attitude coupled with a good dose of just don’t-give-shit. Not only do GOPers have no real game plan — except, of…
The Brits feel the ugly pinch of wasted economics: The UK economy shrank by a shock 0.5% in the last quarter of 2010 as Britain’s recovery from recession faltered. … Economists said the first estimate of GDP for the last quarter was much worse than expected, and meant that Britain could now suffer a double-dip…
As the GOP pulls his head out of the ass of dumb, they seem ready to crush that horror of President Obama’s health care reform — as Republicans dub it, “Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act” — and have it at the top of its so-called agenda. The Tucson shooting and its heated talk…

From Reuters: A victim of last week’s Arizona shooting rampage was arrested on Saturday and ordered to undergo a mental evaluation after threatening a Tea Party leader during the taping of a television show, police said…Fuller stood, turned and snapped a picture of…

A sad state of affairs as the US of A goes quickly to shit — a Frankenstein-ed, old-body parts Dick Cheney looking a warmongering freak, another killing at another high school shooting, and John ‘The Boner’ Boehner continues crying out his shiftless, lying ass. And the cogs in an overwhelming war machine continues to grind…
Last year’s BP oil spill will apparently exacerbate our slide down the backside of peak oil — from Consumer Energy Report today — Further: The 220,000 barrel per day loss will be made up by importing more oil, and the loss of that oil from the market will add to the upward pressure on oil prices.…
Well, here it is — the last day of 2010, a year for the books, as they say. After an event-marked 12 months, this happy new year’s screed seems a bit optimistic as the entire planet seems to have jumped the snark. In the wee hours of morning, the weather is quiet, but cold here…
(Note: To those few readers of this blog I hope you had a decent ‘holiday period, part one.’ I have a great hatred and loathing for anything that’s a lie — the Lottery, our current ‘terror war,’ the entire GOP, Hugh Hefner marrying for love, and among many, many other entities, ‘Christmas’ — and the…
