War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Quiet and seemingly overcast this morning up here along California’s northern coast — so dense the air, I can’t hear a whimper of the Pacific just a mile or so away. Usually there’s a muted roar coming from the west, but not now. News comes from the mouth of assholes — the second-worse example is…
Friday finally and what a week — life don’t suspend itself, however, just because Saturday and Sunday is time off. Shit has no clock. Early this morning, poo poo is still blowing across the Middle East, still flowing from Mitt Romney’s mouth, but out in the blackness of deep space, earth again dodged a bad-shit…
Full fog this morning on California’s north coast, wet, moist and dense — real quiet, too, and seemingly surface-wise, so intensely peaceful. Beyond this little space, however, the rest of the planet seems to have gone coo-coo with a capital K. Including a different form of ugly protest boiling across the Arab world, this time…
What a difference a day makes. Yesterday was Sept. 11, 2001, eleven years later, and although US peoples mourned a horrible tragedy, the real shit-kicker is what’s happened since — the US and the world is at a nasty crossroads and with all the remembrances history has become a lie. The problem is we Americans…
Clear skies this morning on California’s northern coast, and might turn out to be another better-than-average day, with a bit of warmth added to the weather mix. We’re experiencing some delightful Indian Summer time up here with some of our best days recently — wouldn’t want to be anywhere else on the planet. And today,…
One regret I’ve had (among a whopper list) is that I’ve never been a homeowner, though, for many years I was eligible for a VA loan via the GI Bill. Nowadays owning a home can be disastrous. In 2008, there were more than 3 million home-foreclosure filings, up 81 percent from 2007 and 225 percent…
Another way-quick end to the workweek and this morning along California’s northern coast is about like yesterday, and the day before, and the day before — overcast and moist. Yesterday was fog-laded and chilly — the sun made brief appearances, but was crowded out by clouds. Forecasts for this part of the US via climate…
Another fog-laded early morning here on California’s northern coast, but if the last few days are any indication, the mists will burn off at the approach of daylight and a most-beautiful day will emerge, ending up to be what’s considered near-toasty in these parts, which is pretty-near chilly. Weather is relative — like a mother-in-law…
Fairly-thick fog this morning up here on California’s northern coast, and quiet, too — thickness cushions noise. My perspective, though, is isolated as there’s plenty of pandemonium and nasty sounds beyond this spit of land curdled next to the Pacific Ocean — it’s going to be shitty-loud all the way from here to November. Fear…
Nothing more than nauseating — the opening live round of the RNC in Tampa is enough to make any historical sane person blow huge, bulbus chunks. After trying to watch live feed from CBS and CNN, I just couldn’t stomach these ignorant assholes floating around in their own waste — what a shame for US…
