War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
(Illustration: ‘Bang,’ blotted ink drawing by Andy Warhol (about 1960), and found here). Despite two terrible mass shooting the last week — 18 killed in total — and a seemingly dearth of such events during this pandemic-influenced era, doesn’t mean people aren’t dying from gun shots, the exact opposite. Americans are shooting each other at…
(Illustration found here). Another mass murder event — 10 killed yesterday at a Boulder, Colorado, grocery store — three days ago, one killed, five injured at a Philadelphia house party, and last week, of course, eight killed at a couple of spas in Atlanta, as we return to ‘normal‘ after a lockdown pandemic year. ‘Normal‘…
Here we go again in an attempt to get out from underneath the shit-weight of the politics and pandemic mixed-tape of horror. This is the fifth in our ‘Destination‘ series (last one here) and includes music from the past drummed-up mostly in acoustic tones flushed with the nowadays. And once again a find in my…
Sunshine with a cool breeze this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley as we try and make it through the shit piled-up around our ears. One aspect of this shit is the astounding, unmitigated gall of Republicans to switch truth in reality to lying in the open and getting pissed when called on it.…
January’s insurrection/riot at the US Capitol building is still fresh in the air, but the ghastly event was perpetrated by self-centered dimwits like this coffee-shop owner in Ohio: ‘“If you voted for Joe Biden, don’t buy our coffee, it’s not for you,” he said. “If you feel that America is on the right track and…

Another Sunday under the near-suffocating blanket of the COVID-19 pandemic, and although case numbers are falling and the vaccine-jabbing is gaining speed, the optimism which filled the airwaves the last week or so seems a bit farfetched and maybe a bit premature. According to the John Hopkins data-board, the US has experienced 542,199 COVID deaths…
Laying-up in Florida, nasty-faced and stumped of glory, the T-Rump is in a financial and legal pickle as his beloved glory days are in their sunset times — even his “Trump Force One” rots away unused: ‘Donad Trump’s 757 jet is in mothballs in upstate New York, missing parts with one of its engines shrink-wrapped.‘…
When I read about this particular subject this morning, I was kind of floored. Despite this being right now and not 1975, Joe Biden’s team needs to re-evauate this situation pretty quick. Paul Waldman at The Washington Post earlier today: ‘But what it shows is that the federal government is in many ways still gripped…
Fucked-up Fox News — this is literally insane: Details on this great and wonderous moment via The Washington Post this morning: President Biden on Friday morning stumbled several times as he climbed the stairs to Air Force One to board a flight to Atlanta, where he and Vice President Harris planned to meet with Asian…
