War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Clear skies this Tuesday morning on California’s north coast as we sprint toward a rendezvous with an apparent natural-formed insanity. Sweet Harry Reid last night: “We hope with good fortune and the support of all you (senators) — recognizing how hard this is for everybody — that perhaps tomorrow will be a bright day.” Yeah,…
Another cold and clear morning here on California’s north coast — a Monday, too. A start to another week of dangerous, crazy life in the nowadays. One real loony point comes on Thursday with the debt-ceiling deadline, and after a “complete and utter wasted weekend” in the US Congress on trying to get a handle on…
An icon of bat-shit crazy said some funny — Sarah Palin unloads advice in a fevered essay at breitbart.com — heart of the dark matter: Ignore the peanut gallery pundits.

Hard to fathom it’s not only another Monday morning, but another brand-new month — Santa Claus is way back down the road — and the planet keeps creeping forward into the gloom. Weekends are a bit slower than weekdays, but those languid 48 hours seem to flash past like a bullet. Beyond the lottery madness…
Fright Friday: John McCain ratcheted-up national apprehension when on Friday, Aug. 29, 2008, he named Sarah Palin as his vice presidential running mate, blubbering: “She’s got the grit, integrity, good sense and fierce devotion to the common good that is exactly what we need in Washington today.” And from that frightful fatal day, US politics…
