War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
(Illustration: The Dick, George Jr., and a Known-Known, posture hypocrisy on an American country road, found here). In just a few words, a glimpse into the horror-nightmare of Iraq, and a status-update to the current fight to retake Tikrit from the militants: “The animals are eating the corpses of ISIS,” Brig. Resan al-Brahimi, a federal…
Clear and more on the warm side this early Thursday on California’s north coast, and from here, the weekend is just hours away. Or words to that effect. Despite another double-tornado incident, this time in North Dakota, or a major-league no-hitter, the unfolding horror of Iraq continues to dominate the news cycle — and as…
Clear and chilly this way-too-early Wednesday on California’s north coast as we plow on through another quick-as-a-dash work week. No matter the situation, time don’t stand still at all. One nasty time-buster right now is Iraq — a nightmare clock ticking away at the speed of a bullet off an AK-47 rifle, fired toward Baghdad…
Bright sunshine just starting to break the gray this Sunday morning on California’s north coast — dark, heavy-clouded and gloomy a little earlier, but typical for us up here, the scene/sense of the weather can quickly change. Life on the ocean shore is predictably unpredictable. So’s life everywhere — the news cycle has become a…
Clear and a tad on the warm side this early Tuesday on California’s north coast with another sunny and “hot” day scheduled for us — of course, the word, “hot,” being relative. We get warm real, real easy here on the shore. War in itself is horror personified, but yesterday something even worse, as five…
Overcast with a touch of ground fog this early Friday on California’s north coast, but the huge-most-important thing is that it’s Friday. Friday! And despite all the work and toil, the week has seemed to just flyby, just this whole year,and maybe last year, too. We’re speeding up for something. And today, of course, is…
High overcast again this early Thursday on California’s north coast as we continue to plow on through the work week. Time appears to be moving faster, like water finally flushing down a drain, sucking quicker and quicker — until it’s all gone. The weekend will be here before you can say, ‘Shithead,’ and then we”l…
High overcast and cool this early Monday on California’s north coast — time is a speeding asshole because it feels in reality like it should still be Friday afternoon. Reality in this crazed age is relative — depends on the mood. The resignation of VA chief, Eric Shinseki, last week is but a residue from…
High overcast and chilly this finally-Friday morning here on California’s north coast — a short work week, but a long slog to get through it. Although officially still spring, summer, for all real intentions is here and the ugly, swollen glands of 2014 continue unabated. Not up here, however, as summer is spring and fall…
High overcast with a cool sea breeze this early Wednesday on California’s north coast — the short work week might be a little tougher, but the weekend’s in sight. And speaking tough — little Eddie Snowden has upped the ante, telling NBC‘s Brian Williams: “I was trained as a spy in sort of the traditional…
