War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Clear and cold again this Thursday morning up here on California’s north coast, with the weather hopefully, slowly moving out of the news spotlight. We’re at 37 degrees right now on our way to a high of 53, and some rain forecast for tonight — but who knows. Beyond the chatter on the Congressional budget bargain-basement…
Cold and bright again this afternoon on California’s north coast, and freezing in the shade. Record lows around these parts last night/this morning. One elderly guy, who’s lived here since the early 1960s, told me his backyard just after sun-up was the coldest he “ever” seen it — covers a shitload of calendar days. How…
(Illustration: A little Iraqi girl contemplates horror, Basra, Iraq, March 30, 2003, found here). Pushed further and further back in current history, the nightmare that’s Iraq is way-off the anywhere-near mainstream news cycle these days — a mention, maybe, if the death toll of some bomb blast is more-than-normally excessive. Amongst a shitload of frustrations,…
Foggy and chilly again this early Wednesday morning on California’s north coast and the weather sure feels like winter’s already here — the wet cold clings to the body-frame all day long. In this type situation, the chill on the coast is better than frost and real cold landward. America is currently in a struggle…
UPDATE BELOW Clear and chilly again this early Thursday on California’s north coast, the near-full moon hanging brightly out west over the Pacific Ocean. All seems serene. Appearances can be deceiving — in DC, the shit-for-brains bunch accomplished nothing more than raising the level of being “scoffed” and rebuked. Although our government is open again,…
In the midst of the most-current, pure-crazed US government debacle, a murderous example from most-recent history, most-horribly won’t go away — 107 people were killed in Iraq yesterday in just a few incidents: The killings, which also included attacks on journalists and anti-extremist Sunni fighters, have raised fears that the country is falling back into the…
Clear and cold this Thursday morning along California’s northern coast — the moon hanging like a fat-ass fingernail in the eastern sky. And the sound of the peaceful Pacific Ocean can heard roaring a couple of miles away, like an express train coming down the tracks, but going nowhere. Just like parts of the Left…
Raining and cold this early Wednesday on California’s north coast and as we hit mid-week, shit is flying all over, especially from the face of bat-shit crazy. As I type, far across this nation in the far-deep darkness of morning, rodent Republican Ted Cruz is in the midst of a blithering talk-a-thon in the US…
Raining pretty steady this way-too-early Monday, continuing the storms across the northern California coast, but all just part of life’s scenario. And life’s a gnarled bitch for a lot of folks. Rain falling everywhere — from Kenya, Pakistan, and parts in between, but the real shit is gearing up here in the good, old US…
An icon of bat-shit crazy said some funny — Sarah Palin unloads advice in a fevered essay at breitbart.com — heart of the dark matter: Ignore the peanut gallery pundits. They’ve written my political obituary so many times, I’m practically Lazarus. Now they’re trying to destroy Ted Cruz. Good luck with that, you weasels. Texans are…
