War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Tina Fey as Sarah Palin and guns: “I believe that if everybody had guns, then there would be fewer guns in the stores.†(Illustration found here). The interview with Fey came this week from Inside The Actors Studio, hosted by James Lipton on Bravo (my excerpt via Mediaite), and most-assuredly reflects in a most-hilarious way the…
Personally, I’m pretty-much sick and tired of the fuckin’ public. As manager of a liquor store, I’ve seen just about every kind of asshole, listened to way-too many deplorably-sad stories, and encountered a general mass of people who in recent times have become so delusional, and so fucked-completely-up, it’s really hard to fathom. And it ain’t just…
Cloudy and rainy this Saturday morning on California’s north coast, creating an Old Testament-gothic-like feeling of sadness and depression. Except — just now seen from my back patio, a small hole opening in the thick-cloud layer, sun streams pouring through in awesome Cecil D. Demille fashion, dramatic and soul stirring, even beautiful. Reality, however, burns…
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 —…
A bit of thin, high overcast this early Thursday morning on California’s northern coast, allowing the near-half moon to glimmer through the clouds — and it’s cold, too. In this particular set-up, I haven’t seen any of the Quadrantid meteor shower which is supposed to be burning through earth’s upper layers this morning, creating a…
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…
Heavy-overcast and chilly here this Friday morning along California’s northern coast, starting off the last weekend of 2012 — a year quickly, darkly. And don’t expect things to get better in three days — only worse. Faithful words via Mr. George Carlin: So the next time some asshole says to you, “I have a right to…
Rain and fog this morning along California’s northern coast and we’re expected to get hammered by a cold front in a little while that will bring possible thunderstorms and a snow level down to about 1,500 feet. A dust of white on the mountains can be easily seen from the beach — winter’s here. Actually,…
Drizzling rain this morning along California’s northern coast, with a slight touch of some ground fog, but the air feels warm — which is what really counts. Wet and cold don’t mix. This morning’s storm has apparently ended its series run on a quieter note: “The winds will be much lighter than over the weekend.…
Clear as a bell this election-day morning here along California’s northern coast with a half moon hung high in the heavens — the sound of the Pacific rolls easily to the ears. Not so across the US as polling stations open and Americans ready themselves to press the lever, bringing to an end a long,…
