War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
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…
Middle-of-the-week and time just keeps on keeping on. Opposite asshole bit of the week — US kids are too fat to kill other people. In a new report called, “Still Too Fat to Fight,†some retired military 1 per-centers whine young obese Americans are endangering national security: “It’s clear to us that our military readiness…
Clear skies again this morning, seemingly-like creating a trend — now three days in a row where I can actually see the sun come up without the silly fog. And here on California’s northern coast, the sound of the nowhere-peaceful Pacific can heard roaring through the air. A check on the news seems to produce…
Clear skies and chilly this early Monday along California’s northern coast and maybe despite the calender, Indian Summer might still with us. Not so long ago, weather talk was a nice way to pass the time, a gentle way to bullshit without upsetting anyone, people all knew chatting about the weather was a pleasent non-controversial…
Overcast once again this morning on California’s northern coast and seemingly warmer, too. In this high-level fog, the air is quiet and still. Nature, however, is beyond calm. If we can move beyond the getting-more-stupid phase of US politics (i.e., Mitt Romney) and into the most-dreaded of upcoming events most are only aware on a…
Clear skies this early Wednesday morning — rare up here on California’s northern coast. And what’s more than rare is reality. After all the bullshit, this is really what rings true: Given Mitt Romney’s limited intellect and his clumsy people skills, the odds are that he never would have made it very far in America…
Friday finally and what a week — life don’t suspend itself, however, just because Saturday and Sunday is time off. Shit has no clock. Early this morning, poo poo is still blowing across the Middle East, still flowing from Mitt Romney’s mouth, but out in the blackness of deep space, earth again dodged a bad-shit…
Full fog this morning on California’s north coast, wet, moist and dense — real quiet, too, and seemingly surface-wise, so intensely peaceful. Beyond this little space, however, the rest of the planet seems to have gone coo-coo with a capital K. Including a different form of ugly protest boiling across the Arab world, this time…
Another Monday morning — Saturday and Sunday already a blur — and here we are facing another work-week with crazy bullshit piling up on all sides, the society of life is reaching beyond the norm. Yesterday, President Obama received an awesome bear hug from a Republican pizza shop owner during a stop on a bus…
