War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Once again like clockwork, high overcast and a bit breezy this way-early Tuesday on California’s north coast — weather for all its craziness, is pretty consistent up here, especially as the air heats. And heating up, too, is the way the Internet is reacting to the NSA’s ability to see, hear and maybe even reach…
Clear and chilly this Thursday morning here on California’s north coast as we attempt to make through tomorrow — and the glorious two-day holiday! A short work week can be tougher than it looks. A lot of folks open their mouth and shit comes out, but for US Secretary of State John Kerry in remarks…
High overcast with a cool sea breeze this early Wednesday on California’s north coast — the short work week might be a little tougher, but the weekend’s in sight. And speaking tough — little Eddie Snowden has upped the ante, telling NBC‘s Brian Williams: “I was trained as a spy in sort of the traditional…
Ground fog and a bit warmer than usual this way-early Friday on California’s north coast — and the weekend, for all practical purposes, is right around the corner. The corner being today — a blind spot still. Due to our constant cloud overhang, we might miss a big meteorite performance tonight and early in the…
Clear half-moon hanging out over the Pacific Ocean this early Tuesday on California’s north coast as we spiral on into the work week. There some chance of rain the next few days, but if anything, the precipitation will be misty drizzle — heavy rain is not our forte here on the coast. And yesterday, California…
Raining and warm this early Friday as we grind down another work week and ready ourselves for a couple days of no bullshit from ground level. In the ongoing spying- bullshit from way-up yonder, and a sigh of relief: In a 32-0 vote, the House Judiciary Committee passed the USA Freedom Act, a bill that…
(Illustration: The Dick, George Jr., and Rummy posture-preen serious — found here) As a sixth-grader, I was near-about convinced the United States of America was the greatest country in the history of the world. In 1960, we Americans figured our shit didn’t stink. Mainly and just-about all due to our elders telling us so, inbred…
Raining fairly heavy this way-too-early Wednesday on California’s north coast, but maybe the sun will show itself later, like it did yesterday afternoon — gorgeous and warm. We need the rain, though, and lots more. Quick snapshot of America 2014 from Democratic pollster Celinda Lake: “Both parties are universally despised. The best thing the Republicans have…
Clear and chilly again this early Wednesday on California’s north coast — mid-week weakly here. No earthquakes during my morning bath, but there’s been two little shakers since I got up earlier, and the movement continues. Fascinating life in the nowadays, huh? War in the Crimea, a big passenger jet still missing after nearly two…
Clear and windy this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast — all seems quiet. Appearances, though — the ground is settled here, but a 5.1 earthquake was reported yesterday afternoon off the Oregon coast, about 250 miles from Coos Bay, and way out in the Pacific from my vantage point. Still, the shaker is near…
