War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Today is the first day of Spring 2023, and also the 20th anniversary of the Iraqi invasion. (Illustration: US Marines in northern Kuwait assembling to invade Iraq; photograph found here.) How those two events combine is anyone’s guess. On March 20, 2003, the US did a bad, bad thing. And despite a shitload of people…
Overcast and warm this late afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central valley — rain expected tomorrow, or maybe even tonight, but supposedly (hopefully) not as disastrous as in the immediate past. Less than a week, reportedly, and we’re back to sunshine again. Probably the big story today occurred this morning — and I’m sure you’ve…
Sunshine and warm temps this late afternoon Friday in California’s Central Valley — another most-gorgeous day. In the opposite direction, another spin here into the upcoming 20th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq — on Monday marks the shit point where a lot of ugly history started, and the repercussions continue right into the right…
Clear skies and tons of sunshine this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — a nice respite from all the rain, snow, and just plain shitty weather. The situation reportedly back to the norm on Sunday when more rain is forecast to wet-on the region again. Enjoy while we can. Beyond the horror politics…
No rain but thickly gray clouds made more ominous by some sharp, high-velocity winds, all overcasting this late afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley as we reach maybe a lull in the latest storm system which plowed through our area late last night and this morning — way-heavy rains earlier today, but seemed to…
Next Monday is the 20th anniversary of the US invasion of Iraq — an international day of infamy: (Image: ‘The Three Amigos‘ — Dick Cheney, GW Bush, Don Rumsfeld, oozing manliness on a road outside GW’s no-cattle ranch in Crawford, Texas — and found here.) Time is a strange vehicle of travel as it seems…
Darkly gray overcast, freaky-still, and gloomy this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley as bad weather has become more than just white-out snow drifts and rain rivers as the environment has conjured up even twisters into the meteorological mix. Our skies preview the next “pineapple express” heading our way early this week with another…
In a noted sense of uselessness and without a clue on how to govern, Republicans’ complete show is on cultural spark points, which in reality most Americans care about and support. GOPers are way-notorious for voting against their own interest. They’d rather ‘own the libs‘ than better their own lives. Talk about self-centered dumb-asses. Nowadays,…
Rain and more rain this mid-day Friday here in California’s Central Valley as we feel wet from a ‘pineapple express,’ which blew in from the south Pacific last night — although our rainfall is steady and not so heavy, the apparent blunt of the storm is featured south of us with flooding and more flooding.…
Rain and cold wind this early-evening Thursday here in California’s Central Valley as we engage in the front edge of a supposedly massive storm cruising our way out of the south Pacific — an ‘atmospheric river,’ or ‘Pineapple express,’ will reportedly crash into So Cal later tonight and tomorrow soaking the region. Including us here…
