War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Another Friday morning, but I’m not feeling it this week. Old, twitching health problems have spring up this morning, complicating a fragile, personal ecosystem — and making the end of the work week more than just a day on the calendar. Added to the toasted brain is the arrival tonight of my younger brother, who…
Mitt Romney and George Jr. the night of Feb. 8, 2002, the opening of the Salt Lake City Olympic games: As the Mormon Tabernacle Choir’s rendition of the national anthem echoed off the snow-dusted mountains, the 43rd President turned to the man who now could be the 45th and marveled, “That was a great moment. 
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…
Tonight a couple of assholes will rub cheeks together and laugh at the marvelous things life can bring while wolfing down $30,000-a-plate beef on toast — never the twain more ugly to meet. Mitt Romney will visit The Dick‘s lair in Jackson Hole, Wyo., for yet another high-dollar fundraiser in attempt to purchase at-cost the…
One snap indication of just how malicious life has become in public discourse was the incident yesterday when a Mitt Romney supporter, 77, gagged a rally protester by shoving a handkerchief into the 25-year-old union worker’s mouth. Just civil rights, that’s all: “He seemed thirsty, so I tried to shove the bottle in his mouth,”…
In this the day after our Independence Day, the world looks about the same from up here on California’s northern coast, although the real word of the day yesterday (via Urban Dictionary) was “Freedom Fondle” — The honor of being screened by the TSA at airport security. Funny, but with a most-definite Orwellian feel. And…
In the wake of the health care dust-up last week, the bat-shit crazy side of US politics won’t let it rest, and in doing so, truly revealed just how nasty and mean-spirited their hearts. This weekend’s nastiest diarrhea-of-the-mouth, and the cruelest, came from one of the biggest assholes in DC, Mitch McConnell — on Fox News…
As we await this morning the results of the nasty legal thoughts of the US Supreme assholes on the Affordable Care Act — a la ‘Obamacare’ — political verbiage is getting out of whack. Plain ole lying has reached an artless art form. liar Even forked-tongued master Sarah Palin opened her yap this week in anticipation,…
US peoples have too much on their plate nowadays to contend with such assholish-childish political bullshit like this yesterday in Cleveland: According to reports from journalists on the scene, the GOP presidential candidate’s campaign bus showed up at the location of President Barack Obama’s scheduled campaign speech in Cleveland, Ohio, and proceeded to taunt his…
