War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Bright and sunny this Sunday afternoon on California’s north coast, and the dreaded wind hasn’t kicked-up as of yet, so the air is warm and easy. Despite Spring being sprung last week, the US midsection is still in the cold stages with a snow-dump forecasted from Kansas to maybe Washington, DC: Add winds gusting up to 40…
Clear skies with stars twinkling this Tuesday morning along California’s north coast, and for some reason, the outside environment feels warmer than inside my apartment. Human skin and temperatures baffle the senses. Tonight is President Obama’s state-of-the-union, and all the pre-jazz on the speech seems to indicate an economical crock-a-shit, or how to spin away from…
What a drag! When I got up this morning, switched on the laptop, pulled up CNN and saw that Scott Walker had eventually won in Wisconsin, a wailingly-loud, horrible, throat-clutching scream wanted to flee my lips — at 3:30 a.m., though, some real shit would have hit the fan. And on top of the noise,…
One of the bedrocks of being alive and being anywhere near ‘successful,’ is having a job — working a wage. And although job openings in the U.S. rose in March to the highest level in more than three years, Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond President Jeffrey Lacker noted yesterday unemployment remains at “a very elevated…
(Illustration found here). Nowadays, don’t US politics — and politics in general — make you sick to your bowels? In the midst of most-likely the biggest, nastiest, piece-of-shit economic condition since I-don’t-know-when (common term, ‘not since the Great Depression‘), the political systems on this entire, whacked-out planet has gone way-bonkers. This morning, for instance, there’s…
(Illustration found here). Fifty percent of the US political system is eaten completely up with hardcore dumb ass — and to make it even far worse, apparently that half don’t give a shit. Not only do Republicans have no sense of government, they are allowing the most-horrendous problem this earth and its inhabitants have ever…
“It is an unfortunate human failing that a full pocketbook often groans more loudly than an empty stomach.” — Franklin Delano Roosevelt (Illustration found here). Early Sunday and deep, wet fog here on California’s north coast, but unlike a lot of other shit going on right now, my natural environment will get better, much better:…
As the financial clock ticks away on this Friday morn, the political platoons playing pitter-pat in DC and losing the hope of US peoples in our current form of government — if you want to call what’s happening now as government. Why and how were these assholes elected? (Illustration found here). As John ‘The Boner”…
Never in US political memory has the discourse become so full of one-sided hate and animosity toward the unwashed masses, i.e., the poor and other meaningless pieces of considered flotsam supposedly throttling the rich from getting even-more richer — Republicans are ranting against humanity. And the shocker is that these GOP claptrap assholes appear not…
(Illustration found here via Google Images). The current US political scene sucks through an extremely-thin straw, making it hard to swallow a possible federal government shut-down this Friday (tomorrow!). In my humble estimation, there’s never been a more nasty, chaotic mess than DC right now, and the real losers are the ordinary, rank-and-file US peoples…
