War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
First: I usually don’t post anything on oil/gas prices until I put a little fuel in my increasingly fragile Jeep, but after reports of such strange, and accelerating-upward pump prices in recent days, some investigation seem warranted. Pump shock has already put the US on a course to reach record price levels this year. Second:…
There’s something way-perverted here — happiness is a warm gun. Best. Parent. Ever. Tommy Jordan for president. That’s the response Jordan is getting from tens of thousands of people on the Internet after a YouTube video featuring the North Carolina dad shooting up his 15-year-old daughter’s laptop with a .45 went viral this week. Sure,…
Old men, they are now — the big three of the scandal of scandals. The Washington Post blog The Reliable Source reported on a chance encounter in late January of John Dean, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein at the Nixon Library in Yorba Linda, Calif., and the quick whiplash of history — this June will be…
Sleep wasn’t too happy this cycle — insomnia is a baffling infliction, hard to judge and makes a mess of a day. But, what the hey? Wee-early is crazy time. Fer instance, Tom Brady’s old lady gets whipped after whining — Gisele Bundchen was overheard lambasting fumble-fingered receivers, but the Giants’ Brandon Jacobs retorted: “She…
Pig skin and history: Ground acquisition. And that’s what football is, football’s a ground acquisition game. You knock the crap out of eleven guys and take their land away from them. Of course, we only do it ten yards at a time. That’s the way we did it with the Indians — we won it…
In an era of supposed enlightenment, marijuana still remains on the fringe — Dude, that needs to change. Newt Gingrich, however, does appear even worse after a couple of tokes — some changes require way more. Pot is the weaker sister — the big headline in this story was marijuana, but alas… A Rhode Island…
Any half-sane person is by now sick to the bowels of the GOP — Mitt Romney won the Florida primary, but the question posed: Who gives a shit? Although President Obama is most-likely the most-disappointing leader in US history, he’s leagues above Romney and the rest of his half-assed, ignorant Republican buddies, as the above-mentioned…
Evening into morning — and everything is still dark. Some overriding health issues have caused me to have not a good night, thus, creating less-ability to compose coherent thoughts, and way-harder to transfer to blog lines (was about to write paper, but that’s so 1970s). There’s plenty out yonder in the big, wide world to…
Monday morning, and getting close to the end of another month — time flies when all kinds of shit are hitting the fan. Including this horror show in Florida — and I don’t mean the upcoming GOP primary: “As it was happening on the northbound side, it was happening on the southbound side as well,”…
Last night, long-time CBS correspondent Bob Schieffer waxed hot on modern US politics: This is just another sign of the incivility and really the vulgarity of modern American campaigns. These campaigns have gotten so ugly and so nasty, that they’re now tarnishing the whole system. I think it also underlines the coarseness of our culture…
