War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Pretty much a fact that Republicans can’t govern worth a shit — three GOP presidents excepted, Abe, Ike and Dick, though the last guy had some major pathological problems — and George Jr. was the worst White House occupant in US history. The only way that nasty party can even stay alive is by blowing…
“They don’t want people who are smart enough to sit around the kitchen table and figure out how badly they’re getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard 30 fucking years ago.” — George Carlin (Illustration found here). Yesterday, that most-august body of assholes, the US Senate, and fueled by the ugly gnashing of…
On the eve of the weekend again — time flies when you’re having fun. Just ask Monty Python-named character Reince Priebus, RNC honcho, who thinks butterflies are actually female body parts: “If the Democrats said we had a war on caterpillars and every mainstream media outlet talked about the fact that Republicans have a war…
Much ado about President Obama’s hot-mike comment to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev during the nuclear pow-wow in Korea: “This is my last election. After my election, I have more flexibility.” Obama appears real-positive about what will happen in November. Although he snagged some dumb-ass comments from GOP presidential contenders, and tried to make light of…
Pornographic war creates sweet dreams: “I laughed as I heard a story,” said Ryan Endicott. “One of the platoons had strapped dead bodies from a gunfight on the hoods of their Humvees and then drove around the city for hours. . . . One (day) they brought in a car that had just been shot…
In the dawn of a Republican keg party of nonsense, a shitload of delusional US peoples will take to the ballot box in 10 states and try to separate the horribly bad from just the plain, dumb bad. Super Tuesday they want to call it. Except them Republican voters are staying home — so far…
Because there’s two kinds of women. There are two kinds of women and you, as we well know, are not the first kind. You, my dear, are a slut. — Victor Komarovsky to Lara Antipova, Doctor Zhivago In a respite from worrying about the weather, we’ve encountered once again the soulless, nasty cruelty of today’s…
The vaulted Michigan primary is this Tuesday and the ugly, nasty waters of the GOP will be muddled even further if Mitt Romney loses — the man’s biggest rival, bonehead Rick Santorum, blubbered to voters this weekend to pop the event “on its ear” by choosing him and not Romney when they go to the…
Religion covers a lot of ground — there’s a church for just about every conceivable thought and emotion, and there’s always somebody willing to kill you for whatever’s sake. Rick Santorum’s smug view: “In the Christian church there are a lot of different stripes of Christianity. If the president says he’s a Christian, he’s a…
Rainy day here along California’s northern coast, though, the sun does peek out from amongst the clouds every now and then. Odd sensation that: Sunshine and rain. In my original neck-of-the-woods (southeastern Alabama), there was some old catch-saying I’d heard as a wee child, went something like this: ‘When you see sun when it’s rainin,’…
