War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Watching daylight turn into rain, there comes a feeling that what is perceived as reality is just noise to a lot of people, creating a blip in the mojo, a trip in the ether, and forcing disaster onto the multitude. In casual observation, the statement, ‘fish need water,’ requires no explanation, either for it’s actual-factual…
A lot of viewpoints have changed in a real-short period of time. Only in the last few weeks have I began to fathom the understanding President Obama might just be a one-termer — a concept that was near-laughable a year ago. In a survey which from all appearances should have come from George Jr.’s final…
In an age of near-total uncertainty, there’s an upswing of ugly sweaters for the holidays and a worldwide view of a growing, unstoppable corruption. (Illustration found here). A survey for the times — 60 percent of the world’s peoples say all kinds of unofficial/official corruption has increased in the last three years, at least to…
Trying to find a job in the US is getting to be worse than a bitch. From Calculated Risk: For the current employment recession, employment peaked in December 2007, and this recession is by far the worst recession since WWII in percentage terms, and 2nd worst in terms of the unemployment rate (only the early…
Some serious-looking stuff there, just down the road a-coming. (Illustration found here). As I’ve mentioned before on this blog — to the mega-scant regular readers (on average) — life has become so physically dysphoric in these waning days of 2010 AD, there’s a growing apprehension I’m watching/reading/listening to the end of an age on my…
(Illustration found here). Another dire study on the state of nowadays. Although climate change, peak oil and all the assorted ugliness associated with both have been flashed around the news wire for months, if not years, nothing appears to be in the real/actual works to handle the mess — one little peak of light is…
Time, time, time is on my side, yes it is –Â “Time Is On My Side,” The Rolling Stones Wrong — time instead is on an extremely short leash. There’s a scene in the movie, “The Matrix,” where Morpheus explains to Neo the sheep-like nature of humanity: You have to understand that most of these…
The title quite a mash-up, huh? A mouthful of alliterated sounds beckoning forth a bat-shit-crazy. However, if according to the US Supreme Court and corporations are indeed people — “…citizens, or associations of citizens…” — then somewhere out there is some giant, asshole of a guy with a name synonymous with hideously-cruel, insane and arrogant incompetence:…
The future has been downloaded into just about right now. “If a man has good corn or wood, or boards, or pigs, to sell, or can make better chairs or knives, crucibles or church organs, than anybody else, you will find a broad hard-beaten road to his house, though it be in the woods.“ —…
Job hunting will apparently go from bad to worse and then beyond. From Gallup yesterday: Unemployment, as measured by Gallup without seasonal adjustment, increased to 10.1% in September — up sharply from 9.3% in August and 8.9% in July. Much of this increase came during the second half of the month — the unemployment rate…
