War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Clear this early Friday along California’s northern coast, though, rain is forecast for next week and winter’s coming whether we like it or not. The US east coast has to feel a bit in the gun-sights of apprehension as Hurricane Sandy, already called a hybrid whopper and “Frankenstorm,” could strike hard early next week —…
Jolting Joe Biden letting the baby cry during a speech yesterday in Ohio (via HuffPost): “I don’t blame that baby for crying,” he said, over audible wails from a child in the crowd. “You know what, she just realized what it means if Romney gets elected. She is out there – God love her. Hi,…
Last night another display of how US governance has seemingly reached the surreal level as a one-sided debate between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney revealed a GOP endorsement of a Democrat president. Romney agreed so much with Obama all during the debate, one wonders if his well-coiffed head had been shoved way-up his ass. Sweating…
(Illustration found here). Last night’s presidential debate between President Obama and Mitt Romney was a fun-fest, stomp-nosed look at how ludicrous US politics has become, but did allow at last a small peek into how vast and empty the GOP challenger — Romney’s camp may now give more than a shit about fact-checkers. In that…
One wonders at the cost, and the why: Austrian skydiver Felix Baumgartner broke the speed of sound — at one point hitting Mach 1.24, according to a team official — during his record-setting jump from 128,000 feet Sunday over southeastern New Mexico. This the wonder: Gas prices remain 40 cents above year ago prices and…
Last night, Joe Biden scorched emotional during closing statements in his debate with Paul Ryan: “My name is Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.,†said the vice president, his voice choking. “Over the years I have been made an object of mockery and ridicule. I have seen pictures of me in the most humiliating positions you can…
Overcast again this morning on California’s northern coast — even had some way-light rain yesterday, so maybe winter’s here early. Big news on the dipwad-cycle is the Joe Biden/Paul Ryan knuckball debate tonight at Centre College in Danville, Kentucky, and all eyeballs will be on Joltin’ Joe to see if he can gain some traction…
Overcast and eerie-quiet this early Wednesday AM — middle of the week and there’s nowhere else to go but forward. However, to advance further in this slipstream of bullshit, one must way-overcome a news cycle that’s becoming unglued from itself and spinning off into the ether. Grown people are such assholes. Surfing the online news…
Starry, starry early morning here on California’s northern coast with the skies all a-twinkle and the moon formed fingernail white. And in the breeze, a whiff of skunk, which may be the animal form, or more likely the start of harvest season, although I haven’t yet had any people doing trim work come into the…
Beginning of the week once again and the plight of life up here on California’s northern coast is a bit overcast and a bit of chill the f*ck out. Last week was seemingly too dramatic for a simple two-day weekend to compensate for, and the start of another round of work ain’t appetizing for brain…
