War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Clear and star-sprinkling skies this early Wednesday along California’s north coast — as the middle of the work week is here, so are thoughts of the week end. Yet two days to go. And this morning, the situation room on the Syrian chaos is getting crowded. The US, however, is pulling a George Jr. ploy…
Clear skies and a bit on the chilly side this way-early Tuesday on California’s north coast, a near-half moon posed directly overhead — unusual spectacle sans the fog and mist. And we’re forecast for another hot, sweltering day with temperatures in the high 60s and low 70s — heat storm, ha! Heat and fires the…
Yipee! It’s Friday! Overcast a little bit up here on California’s north coast, but we’re on the cusp of a weekend so the weather is just a prelude to joyful two days away from the public. And the public sucks — at least down the manhole of private affairs. President Obama’s vow of an “outside”…
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.…
A bit overcast this way-too-early Monday here on California’s north coast, with a near-full-moon brightening the skies — and it was another really, really short weekend. Just two days to recover from five days is just bad math. And I want the NSA to know right up front — I Googled you! So fuck off,…
Life in the nowadays — dry-heat finds a spark. Especially west of the Mississippi, including even up here along California’s north coast — although living right on the Pacific Ocean with sea breezes does keep temperatures down and the air fairly-clean of a smoke scent. Last week, however, more than a dozen fires in 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…
Foggy again this way-too-early Thursday on California’s north coast as we grind on through the week. The weekend is beckoning. In the spirit of the nowadays, Holden Caulfield reminds us: “I’m the most terrific liar you ever saw in your life. It’s awful. If I’m on my way to the store to buy a magazine,…
Here we are mid-week again, with fog and gloom this early Wednesday, but at least we’re on the gravitational pull to the weekend. Hard-hitting environmental report came out yesterday, but if anyone has been keeping up with the situation the last few years, there’s really nothing new. The big question (though, with no answer right…
(Illustration: Vincent van Gogh’s ‘The State Lottery‘ found here). Time again fellow peoples for the nutcase absolute -nuttery of the big-bucks lottery — the multi-state Powerball has now topped $425 million and the delusional denizens will be swiping/jiving to the dreams of an idiot. And the bullshit lying continues: “We’re seeing brisk sales for this…
