War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Sitting here this early Thursday morning surrounded by quiet, I can hear shit plop a mile away. Jezebel reflects: This whole Chick-Fil-A debacle, it seems, is all fat people’s fault. This might be a great week to be a chicken, but it’s the fucking worst week to be a fat gay guy. Apparently, the entire…
Foggy, quiet and a bit chilly again this morning up here on California’s north coast, the same ordinary for us the last few weeks — can’t remember the last time I woke up to clear skies and stars twinkling. Not so on the other side of the US: The Northeast Regional Climate Center at Cornell University…
Quiet this morning up here along California’s northern coast with the sun trying in vain to slither through an Old Testament-looking sky, featuring epic clouds and small patches of clear blue way up yonder.

Blow back from horror can create assholes of the purest form, as this from yesterday: Deputies were called to the AMC Norwalk 20 cineplex around 5 p.m. Sunday after moviegoers complained of a man who started yelling when the showing of “The Dark Knight Rises” didn’t start.

Raining up here on California’s northern coast this morning, but unlike Babbling Brook Benton, I don’t feel like it’s raining all over the world. Mitt Romney might, however. Watching this wealthy nut-ball roll across the political landscape, I think Romney is actually running not to win — he’s in this thing just for the trip…
Even as this work week starts, the political bile never gets a day off as the presidential campaign is geared and rigged to be as mean and nasty as possible. And so way-hypocritical by the way of the bonkers GOP. The Donald Trump claims (among a shitload of others) that how President Obama running the…
One of my daughters is doing something special tonight — she’ll be appearing in a comedy revue at the Bongo After Hours Theatre in Nashville, Tenn., as a part of a continuing series, ‘That Time of the Month,’ a type of female performance art/comedy Nashville Scene online calls a ‘…concept that deftly walks the fine narrow…
