War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
In the midst of the most-current, pure-crazed US government debacle, a murderous example from most-recent history, most-horribly won’t go away — 107 people were killed in Iraq yesterday in just a few incidents: The killings, which also included attacks on journalists and anti-extremist Sunni fighters, have raised fears that the country is falling back into the…
Clear and chilly this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast, and as we reach the middle of the work week, a shitload of people have been sent home from work as the breakdown of the feral US continues apparently unabated. A bright spot yesterday during a GOP bullshit-presser when the nutjobs got noodled by the crowd:…
Despite all my efforts, it’s Monday again. Rain and wind up here this early morning on California’s north coast, but the storms that have plagued the US upper Pacific coast appears to be fading pretty fast. Clear skies and joyous sunshine a-coming! Wrong — CNN poll: “…58 percent say congressional Democrats are acting like spoiled…
Raining pretty steady this way-too-early Monday, continuing the storms across the northern California coast, but all just part of life’s scenario. And life’s a gnarled bitch for a lot of folks. Rain falling everywhere — from Kenya, Pakistan, and parts in between, but the real shit is gearing up here in the good, old US…
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…
Slightly overcast this way-too-early Thursday on California’s north coast as we wade toward the end of the week. Another scorcher for us as temps are expected to be in the 70s again today, and even hotter into the weekend with Monday’s high forecast to be 91 — whoa! Us old people don’t weather the weather…
Clear sunshine and a chilly breeze this Sunday morning on California’s north coast as the world starts a new week and a new month — both will have its share of bullshit. In the last few hours/days, all kind of crazy, like President Obama backtracking again on Syria, calling on the US Congress to make the…
Rain lightly-spattered windows this early Sunday on California’s north coast, but now a couple hours later, outside is just foggy and wet — an observation made from the confines of my back patio, of course. According to local weather forecasts, we’ve still got about a 30 percent chance of more rain today, then back next…
Fog again this way-early Thursday on California’s north coast, but the outside feels a bit warmer than yesterday — but it’s the weather, and who’s to really know? In the state of everything nowadays, who’s to know anything? Especially the state of a person’s mind — Bradley Manning leaks of himself: “I am Chelsea Manning.…
After working in several newspaper newsrooms in my long-ago-formal journalism career, and although there’s been some ugly motions the last few years crying a dooms-day end to old fashioned media, modern life might be aiding a news-gathering recovery — people’s news by the peoples. Despite the closing of newspapers, reporters losing jobs, technology and the…
