War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Fog again this way-too-early Tuesday as we pound on through the week — we just getting started. And how do I know? — spy in the sky, in the ground and all around. Ironic reform — President Obama has ordered up a review panel of the NSA bullshit …but: The panel will be chosen by,…
Overcast and quiet again this early Thursday here on California’s north coast, the sounds of silence screeching all across the lonely, lost world. But we are not alone. Yesterday, two important stories ‘leaked’ via the news cycle — one was that Bradley Manning’s awful leaks “…that no instances were ever found of any individual killed…
Earlier this afternoon, just after work, and on an initial surf to catch up on the news via the InerWebs, up pops another explosive Eddie Snowden tidbit: Microsoft has collaborated closely with US intelligence services to allow users’ communications to be intercepted, including helping the National Security Agency to circumvent the company’s own encryption, according…
Fog-bound again this early Thursday and a bit on the chilly side for this part of California’s northern coast — the sunshine will burn through before mid-day, always does. Life is expectant. The NSA/surveillance shit-storm thrust out into the public by young Eddie Snowden has indeed ignited the US public into questioning whether all this…
Crystal-clear skies and a bit on the chilly side this fourth of July Thursday on California’s north coast — the sound of the Pacific Ocean a quiet moan from the west. Life continues whether we want it to or not. Despite other big shit happening — Egypt’s on another late-spring uprising, the Arizona wildfire that…
A bit of lingering fog this early Monday on California’s north coast with most-beautiful weather continuing on into a new work week. However, it’s pretty-much shitsville everywhere else.

Fog mostly this Sunday on California’s north coast with a bit of sunshine on occasion, and bad heat just about everywhere else. And talk about a way-hot scandal — the NSA has become a rolling playbill of serious surveillance hijinks with a new episode near daily, complete with international outrage and screams of WTF! (Illustration…
Raining but warm this early Monday on California’s north coast and this whole week is forecast to be all wet. We all need the water, though. And meanwhile, the whole world has gone ape shit over those NSA disclosures of snooping on everybody and with the flying burrito brother, Ed Snowden, in Moscow, the US…
Overcast and a bit warm this Friday morning as we head into another weekend — time flies when given time. Today, of course, is the first day of summer — the Summer Solstice — and is supposedly the longest day of the year. In fact, according to the brainiacs, this day is so long it…
Seemingly clear skies this Thursday morning on California’s north coast, but I can’t see any twinkling stars — must be a way-high overcast way-up yonder somewhere. Well, this is Humboldt County, we’re higher than the rest of the country combined, to start with, and to finish. America as a concept is pretty-much over — this…
