War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Sunshine with foggy vapors in the air this Friday afternoon on California’s north coast as we flip right into the weekend. And now is the time for no talking to nobody. As a worker in the retail industry, one gets sick and shitty-tired of people, and on these short, 48-hour intermissions, I don’t talk much…
Sunshine and wispy clouds this Thursday afternoon on California’s north coast — though, there’s some ominous-darkly, thunderhead-looking clouds to the east over the mountains, us folks next to the ocean are experiencing a nice little respite from fog city. A slight, chilly breeze seemingly coming from the north, but no one’s complaining. And the news…
Thick ground fog this early Friday on California’s north coast, and way-quiet, too — only a faint rumble from the Pacific Ocean just more than a mile away. And we’re on the cusp of another weekend, already! I guess Americans are letting loose with a sigh of relief after 16 days of political chaos from…
Barack Obama is a contradictory marvel of twisted politics and illusion. Blowing into office chanting of transparency and openness, Obama now five years later could put Dick Nixon to shame — a new report on press freedom and the White House reveals a real-opaque reality to actual life, an administration disdainful of journalists: “This is…
Finally, it’s Friday! Still overcast and a bit warm this early morning here on California’s north coast as we continue our falling way into the fall season — we did get some sunshine yesterday, but it was well into the late afternoon. Today must be another spoiler. Beyond the Syria entanglements and the “Biblical” flooding…
Crystal-clear, warm and beautiful this way-too-early Monday on California’s north coast, all this after a way-way-too quick weekend. Two days just ain’t enough time. This is the week that has to be for President Obama and his notched-gunsight on Syria — big TV interviews today with an enormous rally-for-war speech tomorrow. This is one proposition…
Sunday morning fog up here on California’s north coast — feels like it’s foggy all over the world. And it feels like we’re all on a precarious precipice as plastered by the platoons of talking heads on the TV this morning — an alliteration of assholes, no doubt. All posturing on Syria — the road to…
Crystal-clear skies with stars twinkling all over — summer’s still here along California’s north coast and the living is more than easy. Yeah, right! No matter where you live and no matter what the skies look like, nothing is easy nowadays. Although the US Congress is not due back in session until next week, the…
In late July 2008, presidential-candidate Barack Obama during a tour of the western world displayed the ability to perform/transform a crowd — he easily tossed a three-point basketball shot before a speech in a gym to US troops in Kuwait. You can see the event here. A watershed moment for me in regards to Obama…
Overcast and darkly-gloomy this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — a sense felt ’round the world. And with all the bad news exploding all around, from Egypt to everywhere, there’s this ludicrous note: A Gallup poll last month found that for the first time in his ex-presidency (actually, the first time since 2005), a…
