War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
(Illustration: Vincent van Gogh’s ‘The State Lottery‘ found here). Time again fellow peoples for the nutcase absolute -nuttery of the big-bucks lottery — the multi-state Powerball has now topped $425 million and the delusional denizens will be swiping/jiving to the dreams of an idiot. And the bullshit lying continues: “We’re seeing brisk sales for this…
Already mid-week and shit is still shit — yet it’s overcast and quiet here on California’s north coast, well away from the black soot of American life. Yesterday, Bradley Manning was found “guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty,” of 20 different counts of hyper-legal bullshit and could face up to 136 years in prison, but he did escape…
When President Obama spoke yesterday: “Regardless of reason, this truth cannot be ignored that today most Americans are not directly touched by war. As a consequence, not all Americans may always see or fully grasp the depths of sacrifice, the profound costs that are made in our name, right now, as we speak, everyday.†He…
Crystal clear and warm this Wednesday morning on California’s northern coast and the near-full moon dominates the western sky, creating a sun-up look albeit from the opposite direction. A full moon due tomorrow — called this month, a “pink” moon, which also will take place on the same night as a lunar eclipse, but will…
Fog-in planet this Wednesday morning up here along California’s north coast, and in extremes, mirrors the horrible, sad fixation of mankind with war. War and whores have been around a long time — which one is the oldest profession? Let’s see here: The shit in Syria, the doo-doo in Mali, the crap in Afghanistan, the…
New life on the InterWebs this morning — yesterday I got a new PC, and hopefully this will put an end to a shitload of stress, at least for awhile. Three laptops in three months — one was stolen, the second went shit-faced crazy, and upwardly optimistically, third time’s the charm. The new machine is…
Crystal clear and a bit chilly this wee-early Monday, with the moon hanging like a white orb out over the Pacific. We’re forecast for some rain later today along California’s north coast, but we’ll just have to wait and see — weather here is always of the moment. Parsing through the news this morning, there’s…
(Illustration found here). Ten years along and the recipients of “shock and awe” know it as a wide-awake nightmare — from the NY Times: At the pet market, Karrar Habeeb, a 22-year-old carpenter, paused, surprised to be asked about what was surely the defining event of his youth. “I didn’t know about it,†Mr. Habeeb…
Slightly overcast this Monday morning along California’s northern coast and through the thin clouds stars can be seen twinkling high above — the start of another workweek and more deeper into the winter of discontent. I’m way-happy the Super Bowl nonsense is now history — except for those addled brains who will blubber of such…
Ground fog, but clear skies this early Friday morning along California’s northern coast, and it feels like it’s a warmer, too. buffoon Should be a good weekend up here, but back eastward it’s way-Arctic-cold for the upcoming holiday weekend and President Obama’s double-billed second inauguration — he takes the oath of office on Sunday in…
