War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Raining and cold this early Wednesday on California’s north coast and as we hit mid-week, shit is flying all over, especially from the face of bat-shit crazy. As I type, far across this nation in the far-deep darkness of morning, rodent Republican Ted Cruz is in the midst of a blithering talk-a-thon in the US…
Raining pretty steady this way-too-early Monday, continuing the storms across the northern California coast, but all just part of life’s scenario. And life’s a gnarled bitch for a lot of folks. Rain falling everywhere — from Kenya, Pakistan, and parts in between, but the real shit is gearing up here in the good, old US…
An icon of bat-shit crazy said some funny — Sarah Palin unloads advice in a fevered essay at breitbart.com — heart of the dark matter: Ignore the peanut gallery pundits. They’ve written my political obituary so many times, I’m practically Lazarus. Now they’re trying to destroy Ted Cruz. Good luck with that, you weasels. Texans are…
Overcast and damp this Thursday morning on California’s north coast as we cruise on toward the weekend — now closer than it was yesterday! And yesterday’s gone — a loss of history, boxer Ken Norton, great of the 1970s and the only guy on earth who broke Ali’s jaw, has died at age 70. Norton was…
Monday again! And there’s not a dang thang I can do about it, either. Sad news over the weekend, singer Linda Ronstadt has Parkinson’s disease. She told AARP online: “No one can sing with Parkinson’s disease. No matter how hard you try.” Aging is nowhere as much fun as I thought. Ronstadt at 67 is…
Another dark, gloomy and overcast morning here on California’s north coast, though, as a Thursday, we’re much closer to the weekend than we were yesterday. Which does say something, but what? And as times passes, Americans view NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden in a different light: Roughly one in three Americans say the former security contractor…
Rain again this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, feels like it’s getting wet all over the world. Especially among the fringe-first, not-so-subtle Republican party, or as GOP underlings say: “I mean, you’ve got to be on Mars to come up with some of this stuff.” No, but apparently being an asshole does help, though.…
A gentle spring rain this morning on California’s north coast, quiet and soft like a baby’s bottom — warm, too, like a full diaper. If this was the weekend, good sleeping weather. But it’s only Thursday and it’s just wet. And because of last night, I will face the horror before the weekend: A jackpot of…
High fog, low drizzle this way-too-early Wednesday here on California’s north coast, creating a dull-bummer this morning, despite the speed of the week. Hard to imagine we’re already reaching the weekend’s gravity pull. And internal-combustion engines are not only destroying the environment, but is emaciating time: In the country’s most gridlocked cities, commuters wasted an…
Bright and sunny this Sunday afternoon on California’s north coast, and the dreaded wind hasn’t kicked-up as of yet, so the air is warm and easy. Despite Spring being sprung last week, the US midsection is still in the cold stages with a snow-dump forecasted from Kansas to maybe Washington, DC: Add winds gusting up to 40…
