War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
One of the massive problems facing the political airwaves as we approach this coming November ballot box — liars have their own cable-news network. And like the T-Rump, just don’t give a shit: Rupar is way-great at observing/watching Fox News — glutton for punishment or something — and his newsletter covers the horror the operation…
In the genre of ‘no wonder,’ Adam Kinzinger this morning revealed what he’d tell his newborn son about the T-Rump: ‘“That’s going to be something I think in 5 or 10 years is going to be hard to explain, if you’re not on the side of truth … I’m going to tell him he was…
Instead of political bullshit — surfed the InterWebs this afternoon/early evening, but nothing odd or significant to catch the eye — I instead listened to the main title of one of my way-most-favorite movies, “Lawrence of Arabia,” with the music by the great Maurice Jarre. The scene of the film opening and bits of the…
Thinly overcast this near-mid-day Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — a weather ambiance of just short of fog and leaning weakly toward muted, faded sunshine. Among the festered news today, a nod toward good use of a word game that’s apparently captured the intellects of a shitload of people — the web-based word game,…
After a week — I’m back! First real post in seven days. During this time I went through a final edit of my first novel I’m self-publishing — read about the whole project here, and the post from last Saturday here. Updates on the matter as they become available. And the news cycle didn’t take…
Here this near-mid-day Saturday a notice I’ll be taking some ‘time off‘ from blog writing again to continue with the editing of my soon-to-be-published first novel, “Brown-Eyed Girl With A Cold Corona” — my last ‘time off‘ post and background to the whole literary affair can be found here. I’m self-publishing ‘Corona’ gal via Outskirts…
So I’m not alone in not feeling all that happy about just about everything nowadays, not surprising. Except I’ve felt this way for decades, only more intense lately, though, for most Americans this past year has seemed to have been a turn-around bitch. There’s probably enough shit going on ‘out there’ to sadden anyone with…
Daylight fading as we approach early-evening Thursday here in California’s Central Valley, a fine finish to a day that started with a deep-gray fog, which burned off quickly into bright sunshine and warm temperatures — another one of those about-as-good-as-it-gets, though, way-early in the year. Weather like this usually doesn’t arrive until at least next…
In dangerous territory as we are right now, even butterflies appear in possible jeopardy: An e-mail from the National Butterfly Center was shared this morning at Daily Kos, explaining the shit-situation, pretty straight-forward and on point: We are writing to let you know the National Butterfly Center will be closed Friday, Jan. 28 – Sunday,…
(Illustration: Pablo Picasso’s mural,’ Guernica,’ found here). Tweaking the news cycle this Wednesday evening is an idiot rhyme: Breyer to retire. Since this morning, all the shit all the time is about Breyer’s announced retirement from the SCOTUS. Good to get some light in an otherwise dark-ass future. And the news will be inundated with…
