War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Sunshine, a few fluffy clouds and warm air here near-noon Friday, and the outlook for the weekend onward looks good, though, the rain forecast for next Wednesday has already evaporated, or whatever. Tears trembling down like rain in the news this morning, however, as John ‘The Boner‘ Boehner calls it quits: ‘“Last night I started thinking…
This past weekend, Sarah Palin supposedly launched her own online network, where for $9.55 a month (or $99.95 for a whole year) a subscriber can binge on Palin’s witless wit: “I want to talk directly to you on our channel, on my terms — and no need to please the powers that be. Together, we’ll go…
Up early this morning to some sweet news — for a change: In the most-stunning upset since Republicans took over the House of Representatives four years ago, Majority Leader Eric Cantor lost his GOP primary Tuesday to a poorly funded and disorganized Tea Party activist. David Brat, an economics professor, beat Cantor by 12 points…
High overcast and quiet this Thursday morning on California’s north coast — outside everything is still damp, but the rain. Not much moisture produced this round for a state in a state of drought. Meanwhile, nationwide, the words “polar vortex” had been replaced by “bridgegate.” Or in literary terms, how an asshole had to eat…
“You are a menace. A walking pestilence.” — Dr. Zaius (Illustration found here). The GOP got tea-brained: House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) didn’t sound terribly convinced himself when he announced the Republicans’ last stand to reporters. “The president provided, uh, a one-year delay of the employer mandate,” he said. “He’s provided exceptions, uh, for unions,…
Rain and more rain this early Sunday along California’s north coast, all part of a giant and nasty storm system now slapping hard at the US Pacific Northwest. Sucking up water from former Typhoon Pabuk’s moisture, the storm stalled over the Gulf of Alaska in order to build power and then swept into Washington and Oregon…
Raining and cold this early Wednesday on California’s north coast and as we hit mid-week, shit is flying all over, especially from the face of bat-shit crazy. As I type, far across this nation in the far-deep darkness of morning, rodent Republican Ted Cruz is in the midst of a blithering talk-a-thon in the US…
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. They’ve written my political obituary so many times, I’m practically Lazarus. Now they’re trying to destroy Ted Cruz. Good luck with that, you weasels. Texans are…
Overcast and damp this Thursday morning on California’s north coast as we cruise on toward the weekend — now closer than it was yesterday! And yesterday’s gone — a loss of history, boxer Ken Norton, great of the 1970s and the only guy on earth who broke Ali’s jaw, has died at age 70. Norton was…
Mostly clear skies this early Friday morning on California’s north coast, and a bit chilly, too. Up here, even on clear, sunny days, the wind out of the north can cut like a knife — ruins the flavor of the moment. And speaking of ruining everything, the Tea Party has a vacancy at the top…
