War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Quiet again this morning here on California’s northern coast and the roar of the Pacific can be faintly heard in the distance — about opposite on the US eastern seaboard, where bad shit reigns (and rains). So far, not as bad as the picture at left seems to depict (via, of course, The Hollwood Reporter):…
Wet and quiet this morning on California’s northern coast — the damp due to heavy fog during the night, which left the air a bit more warm than usual. A way-different story to the way-east as some bad shit is about to hit the fan hard — the US mid-Atlantic seaboard is bracing itself up…
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,…
(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.

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…
Dishonest with a smile. (Illustration found here). From the Washington Post yesterday afternoon: Paul Ryan visited a soup kitchen here Saturday on his way to the airport, but by the time the GOP vice presidential nominee and his family had arrived shortly before noon, the grits, sausage and doughnuts had been served, the hall was…
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…
