War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
The illustration above came via The Big Picture and can be originally found here. And the source was Mother Jones — from a study now two years old! The trend appeared to be no coincidence in light of the proliferation of guns and looser gun laws nationwide. One leading criminologist took issue with our criteria, arguing that…
Drizzling rain this way-early Tuesday on California’s north coast, and the weather matches the mood. Horror once again yesterday via another gun massacre at DC’s Washington Navy Yard — 12 dead and eight wounded. And not a motive in gun-sight, beyond some guy armed to the teeth and pissed about something. The nightmare shits: The…
Although seemingly obvious from the beginning, George Zimmerman’s trial turned into a kind of legal theatrical farce, and the outcome predictable, though still fairly shitty, and fairly harsh. The US appears in the throes of a crazy, wing-nut gun-a-mania. One piece of commentary via Miss Emily Dickinson: “If I can stop one heart from breaking, I…
Overcast and quiet this early Tuesday on California’s coast, and despite some breaks in the cloud cover, there’s no view of the mysterious Gamma Delphinid meteor shower expected to pass earth this morning. Somebody will shoot it with a camera, for sure. And in the midst of all that NSA travail this week, a horrible shooting…
Deep ground fog this early Monday on California’s north coast and will most-likely burn off before too long — another ‘normal‘ day fashioning itself. Quiet and still — a facade to the upcoming work week that will most-likely produce more bat-shit crazy. The good, ole US of A is one messed-up place — Shannon Roberts at…
Despite all that I could do, it’s Monday again — the weekend ends way-too quick. Clear skies, however, and quiet here on California’s north coast. And we start another plunge into what’s called ‘making a living,’ which depends deeply on the key word, ‘living,’ and will work our asses off for the next five days…
(Illustration found here). Asshole:Â 1. The anus; 2. A thoroughly contemptible, detestable person. Despite trying to overlook someone being an asshole due to some type personality disorder distracts from the point of labeling some asshole an asshole. Sometimes assholes are assholes because they enjoy it (i.e., Pawnee Councilman Jeremy Jamm). Others are assholes because they were…
Interesting, though, I don’t know if it’s real or not — can’t read Cyrillic. Some photos of supposed-fragments off the famous meteorite that flamed across the Chelyabinsk region of Russia last month can be seen here (via The Reddit Edit this morning). And why that’s interesting, I don’t know either — just some coal-looking rock chunks. My…
Clear skies over the northern coast of California this early Friday morning, getting a way-good start to the weekend — and it can’t come soon enough. Although we have some very-livable weather up here right now, the eastern part of the country underwent a tornado alley run this week with an outbreak of twisters from…
Clear and cold again on a early Wednesday along California’s northern coast and the news cycle this morning looks like it’s eating shit for breakfast. Gun-play at two schools yesterday, and this the continuing sad refrain from all these tragedies: “There were no witnesses in the buildings,†Greiner said. “Of course, it’s a tragedy and…
