War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Wet and quiet this morning on California’s northern coast — the damp due to heavy fog during the night, which left the air a bit more warm than usual. A way-different story to the way-east as some bad shit is about to hit the fan hard — the US mid-Atlantic seaboard is bracing itself up…
Raining this early Tuesday morning up here along California’s northern coast, the first of the so-called rainy season, though, it did get wet back in July. And it’s fairly warm, temps expected to be in the low 60s today. Of course, the big-ticket item is tonight’s debate between President Obama and Mitt Romney and this…
Clear skies and chilly this early Monday along California’s northern coast and maybe despite the calender, Indian Summer might still with us. Not so long ago, weather talk was a nice way to pass the time, a gentle way to bullshit without upsetting anyone, people all knew chatting about the weather was a pleasent non-controversial…
Overcast and quiet this early Monday on California’s north coast, not so on the other side of the country where Hurricane Isaac is plowing through the Gulf of Mexico. In its wake, the GOP has to weather the storm to pretend their boy Mitt Romney is an everyday kind of asshole — hard work in…
Urban Word of the Day: “derp“ A simple, undefined reply when an ignorant comment or action is made. Brought to life in the South Park series, when Mr. Derp made a guest appearance at South Park Elementary as the chef for a day, followed by hitting himself in the head with a hammer and exclaiming…
Another Monday, folks! Up here along the northern California coast another foggy and chilly early morning with the good possibility of maybe some sunshine later on the day — weather here is unpredictably predictable. Not so just a short space south of us where two new forest fires are threatening more than 3,500 homes and…
No stars in these northern California skies this morning — just fog and quiet. No so for the ugly of US politics — the GOP can’t handle reality. Especially reality from old GOP hands, like Dave Stockman, Ronnie Reagan’s sweetheart, on Paul Ryan’s ‘serious‘ budget: …In short, Mr. Ryan’s plan is devoid of credible math…
Even as this work week starts, the political bile never gets a day off as the presidential campaign is geared and rigged to be as mean and nasty as possible. And so way-hypocritical by the way of the bonkers GOP. The Donald Trump claims (among a shitload of others) that how President Obama running the…
What a drag! When I got up this morning, switched on the laptop, pulled up CNN and saw that Scott Walker had eventually won in Wisconsin, a wailingly-loud, horrible, throat-clutching scream wanted to flee my lips — at 3:30 a.m., though, some real shit would have hit the fan. And on top of the noise,…
In the midst of people/places/things making news this week, one item seemingly absent is any hysteria over high fuel prices. Competition for news time is tight, with the vernal Dick Clark dead at 82, Leon Panetta trying to explain away another Afghan horror photo as “…not who we are…,” three SS agents forced out in…
