War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Fear is a soft sounding word, nothing scary about it, at least until some circumstance is attached. Last week, my first post on fear concerned the quiet, unassuming fright in the storing of mega-dangerous spent nuclear fuel at reactor sites — fear without example. Although the message is low key — all that radioactive material piling…
Odd is history. What little of history I’ve seen, one truism for sure is that history does repeat itself — what comes around goes around. People who’ve had a strong hand in developing parts-and-parcel the world’s current shit-storm also enjoyed a role in events past — revealing a character study in nasty, carry-a-big-stick-and-use-it warmongering. Even…
In all the hullabaloo this week about Bob Woodward’s new book, “Obama’s Wars,” seemingly no one took notice of the big lies that led to that horrible, incoherent inheritance. According to documents released yesterday by the National Security Archive, in January 2001, in one of the first meetings of George Jr.’s administration, the newly-minted, nit-wit…
(Added stuff below) News this morning that one of the great assholes of our time (on the rock-face with Dick Cheney), damn-dumb Don Rumsfeld, will release his “autobiography” early next year and will tell the tale straight — as if the sonofabitch could say anything with a straight face. The book’s working title? “Known and…
Famous, mega-rich person, Marie Antoinette, has been credited, though not so in reality, with the ugly phrase, “Let them eat cake” when observing the starving poor — a similar asshole stance from GOP wag, US Sen. Mitch McConnell: “…that no one in this country will pay higher income taxes next year than they are right…
UPDATE BELOW If there’s going to be any kind of future history — or any kind of logical future history with all the shit hitting the earth’s fan right now — President Obama will be named/remembered as the most-greatest letdown of all time. Indeed, there’s thousands if not millions of people completely discouraged by US…
Some serious shit: “Tony Blair and George Bush at Camp David in February 2001 where they discovered they both used Colgate toothpaste.” And they loved war games, much to the peril of the planet. These two terrifying clowns are together again — part-and-parcel of an UK inquiry into British shenanigans in the US-led nefarious run-up…
One wonders what is bubbling up in George Jr.’s brain fluids and what makes the guy so blind he can’t see the huge, out-stretched, multi-layered hand about to slap his freakin’ face. Either he’s so dumb to be believed, or he just don’t give a fat-rat’s ass. Most-likely a strange, biological combination of both. On…
“I’m not much of a reader,” I said, ashamed. “I never had much schoolin’.” “But you can read, can’t you?” “A mite ma’am.” I pushed back from the table. “I’m gettin’ up early. I better hit the hay.” –Louis L’Amour, ‘Passin’ Through‘ Decider George needs to hit the books — or maybe charge head first…
