War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
(Illustration: ‘The Starry Night,’ by Vincent van Gogh, and found here). A break from the blood-thirsty throes of the nowadays with some idiotic instances of musical crazy awash with non-connecting vibes of absolutely wackiness — beats the living-shit out of T-Rump calling MoscowMitch a sonofabitch, wouldn’t you say, an ass calling the hole? And first,…
(Illustration: ‘Reptiles,’ by MC Escher, 1943 (Lithograph), and found here). One of the more-ugly aspects of GaetzGate for me is that the asshole represents the area where I grew up — the Florida panhande. I spent most of my youth there, from third grade through high school graduation (attending Choctawhatchee High School in Fort Walton…
Although I received my second COVID-19 vaccine shot this morning, Merced County where I reside is still in California’s worse purple tier category as apparently the rest of the state seems to be finally getting out from under the coronavirus blanket — per the Merced Sun-Star last Tuesday: Merced County has lagged behind others in…
‘Anticlimatic‘ would be the word to describe my second COVID-19 vaccine shot this morning, an event most even and easy without the fanfare, mental music and hoopla that seemed to cling to my first dose last month. I was in-and-out of Walgreens here in Merced within just a few minutes, and despite the importance in…
If the wordage, ‘Before Times,’ has become a catch-pin for life prior to the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic, from all indications it could also come to include the period in the next generation or so. The twin beasts of the T-Rump and the coronavirus coming together have fostered a grim future, at least according…
(Illustration: ‘Eye,’ by MC Escher, and found here). A way-enormous chunk of Americans are carrying around solid cases of mental disorder of the highest caliber and are prone to fits of pure fantasy even with shit they see with their own freaking eyes and hear with their own asshole ears. I really don’t know if…
Another Monday in the life as the US continues to unwind itself from the coils of a crazed pandemic and four horrific years of the T-Rump madness where everything went to shit in a big bucket. One notable continuous wonder in this new Joe Biden age is Jen Psaki and the near-daily press briefings. Instead…
Anyone who does any driving — Before Times and the COVID pandemic, of course — can see our roadways, bridges and assorted, related structures are shot-to-shit and have been in crappy-dangerous condition for a long time. In fact, you have to go back 65 years to the last activity with our transportation/electrical grid complex and…
In the scope of human events, it becomes near-about impossible to understand how vile and shitty people are when they continually disclose that they’re even worse than how shitty you figured they were at the outset. Yet then they twist a bit, display characteristics beyond-dreadful than the horrifically-bad you assumed just minutes earlier, thusly, you’re…
(Illustration: ‘Cherry Tree Blossoms in Washington DC,’ by Donna Tuten, and found here). In the onslaught of frightful items on the agenda of the nowadays, from COVID to racism to economic woes, the huge, massive elephant in the room (no, not the GOP’s repugnant replica) can easily be overlooked/overshadowed by these pressing issues, and that’s…
