War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Clear as a bell this election-day morning here along California’s northern coast with a half moon hung high in the heavens — the sound of the Pacific rolls easily to the ears. Not so across the US as polling stations open and Americans ready themselves to press the lever, bringing to an end a long,…
Clear this early Friday along California’s northern coast, though, rain is forecast for next week and winter’s coming whether we like it or not. The US east coast has to feel a bit in the gun-sights of apprehension as Hurricane Sandy, already called a hybrid whopper and “Frankenstorm,” could strike hard early next week —…
Last night another display of how US governance has seemingly reached the surreal level as a one-sided debate between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney revealed a GOP endorsement of a Democrat president. Romney agreed so much with Obama all during the debate, one wonders if his well-coiffed head had been shoved way-up his ass. Sweating…
Rain and deep darkness this morning on California’s northern coast, lending a sense of apprehension to this the beginning of a new work-week, and an acute awareness of something big is a-foot. Earthquakes, maybe — we had a 3.5 yesterday afternoon just 10 miles south of where I now sit on my ass, but alas…
(Illustration found here). Last night’s presidential debate between President Obama and Mitt Romney was a fun-fest, stomp-nosed look at how ludicrous US politics has become, but did allow at last a small peek into how vast and empty the GOP challenger — Romney’s camp may now give more than a shit about fact-checkers. In that…
Raining this early Tuesday morning up here along California’s northern coast, the first of the so-called rainy season, though, it did get wet back in July. And it’s fairly warm, temps expected to be in the low 60s today. Of course, the big-ticket item is tonight’s debate between President Obama and Mitt Romney and this…
Beginning of the week once again and the plight of life up here on California’s northern coast is a bit overcast and a bit of chill the f*ck out. Last week was seemingly too dramatic for a simple two-day weekend to compensate for, and the start of another round of work ain’t appetizing for brain…
Dense fog is back along California’s northern coast, creating a sense of depression, gothic-sadness and a feeling it’s foggy all over da world. Lede from Bloomberg this early morning screamed volumes: Where has this Mitt Romney been? And where did that Barack Obama come from? One wonders. And ponders the obvious — Sucker-punch this: Comedian…
Another beautiful early morning here on California’s northern coast, still again with bright stars twinkling in the sky — after weeks and seemingly months of fog, these last few days have been neat. And warm, too, causing me sometimes to forget were I’m at. Beyond this euphoric weather, the big story this morning is what…
Another gorgeous early morning up here on California’s northern coast with stars glittering the sky and the waning moon still pulsating with light — supposed to be another warm day, the high expected to be ’72,’ which for us is like 102 elsewhere. Across the spectrum, though, life is a bitch, or whatever. President Obama…
