Our elections are an elaborate and costly charade--sign the petition! Pathetic that we must demand honesty from our 'government', isn't it? And yet they want to transport our (alleged) democracy all over the world while simultaneously diverting it at home.
Let America Vote and demand a paper ballot if necessary--use the Hansel and Gretel method because we can't trust these clowns.

Flight 5191 update
Lone survivor, co-pilot James Polehinke, is showing some improvement, say his doctors. Yay!
Investigators are still extracting info from the flight recorder but medical results show that No Alcohol Use by Pilots in Ky. Crash --you may read my earlier post/updates on this tragic crash here if you wish.

glitch and coup
Am I suffering from coup envy after 6 years of the Bush regime?
There seems to be a lot of it going on, first Thailand, now Shangai Leader Ousted for Corruption and after millions of Pakistanis went without electricity Sunday due to a "glitch" (pesky squirrel tripping the breaker?) in the national electricity system, Musharraf-in-America insists his own coup rumors back home are "nonsense in nonsense in nonsense." Say whaa-a-a?
Yep, Musharraf Calls Coup Rumors 'Nonsense' but perhaps he should hurry home and not dally in the USA (his heart exam turned out just swell.)
Surely his people need him after yesterday's power "glitch" and who knows? There may be another one waiting with his name on it.

Sen Coburn hearts Howie Rich
Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) is listed as "Chairman Emeritus" on the board of directors of "Americans For Limited Government" (ALG) which is one of NY real estate investor Howard "Howie" Rich's intricate network of shell organizations which fund GOP intitiatives and line certain pockets..."game birds feathering their nests"--the natal degree of the US Jupiter ("6Can")!!
And so America's upper class has always done since the start. This current crop is no different in that respect, other than the ends supposedly justifying the means--which morally they do not.
Howie in Colorado:
CO is the state which suffered under Rich's Tabor gimmick until the voters kiboshed it, but are these Voter Intiatives such as using eminent domain concerns (sign three times--they didn't send us any 'carbon paper'!!! Is carbon paper still manufactured?!?) coming to your state? They've already been there! Did you sign once, twice, three times? Then they punk'd ya, lady!
Following the Rovian tactic of naming things the opposite of what they do (Clear Skies? Operation Iraqi Freedom? Mission Accomplished?), Rich and pals have set up* StopThePork.net to cloud porky issues for ya, while HowieRichExposed.com is making a valiant effort to bring CLARITY to muddy political ploys which may keep power-mad neocons in office, but are secretly busy disenfranchising what was meant to be our Of-By-For The People government.
Wealthy Libertarian Party activists including Howie Rich have ties to Ed Crane, founder and president of the Cato Institute--and ALG has connections to Grover Norquist's Americans For Tax Reform (helps you only if you're Rich, it seems.)
UPDATE 10.8.06: SO'W has received better information concerning Rich and Crane party ties--see Melinda Pillsbury-Foster's comment at the end of this post. Thanks, Melinda! And visit How the Neocons Stole Freedom because as Melinda says, we ought to know that neocons are "Gaslighting America." (As I've posted before--it's not enough that the US is threatened from without--she has neocon fascists "reforming" every institution and every branch of government is being undermined from the inside simultaneously. Why, you'd think they WANT her to fail or something!
How can you fight enemies without when your foundations have been placed on shifting sand? #
Back to my original post:
The rest of us are left to sign bogus petitions and faux-vote on virus-riddled ballot machines--part of the joke on the American Sheeple.
There are many other squirrelly connections between these "organizations" so click on the HowieRichExposed link above to read the list, if you haven't already. The StopThePork site is apparently discontinued for good, oink oink. Smart move, GOP.
Our Collective Trance:
As John Danforth said on my teevee this morning--the "Religious Right" IS the base of the Republican Party...and look how things are going in the world, says I.
Makes me wonder who has the bigger death wish--radicals in the East or radicals in the West. Yet before I point an accusing finger at Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Perle, Rice, Ahmadinejad, Maliki, bin Laden, Putin, Chavez, or at any other crime syndicate boss or minion throttling the world's gullet at the moment, I must first level that finger at myself--for how else to recognize specks if not for your own beams?
As I've said here before (unpopularly): if suicide bombers are not the so-obvious manifestation of the Scripture's warning of satan opposing himself--and taking as many down with him as he goes because he knows Life has already trumped Death--I don't know what is.
So if I have any clarity of thought or intention--or any moral standard to 'stand' upon left to me, it would be to denounce them all as well as myself for being culpable in this murderous charade--this mirage of religious fervor which intends the entire world the cruelest and most ultimate harm.

Sunday 8:55 pm: MORE Cat Fighting? Yusuf Islam, formerly known as Cat Stevens, has said in a BBC interview that the pope's words against Islam "proved he was not infallible." My sentiments precisely. Rraoww-r-wr-wrrrr!
It's still a mystery to me how Benedict could say such things in his backdoor fashion--it wasn't me, it was the Byzantine--and not know he was lobbing a bomb into the tender box. I repeat--he did know. He just didn't want it attributed to him, Mr. Infallible. Hope he and his puppet Bush and their globalist friends are satisfied.
NOW THIS from the SO'W Duh Department: April's NIE Report is just NOW being outed? Bush's misdirected Iraq War inflaming terroism, it says? That's a rather big DUH they've got goin' there.
Now Senator Arlen Specter is acting concerned over the loss of habeas corpus? This Capitol Hill Theater of late has been hammily stinky and rife with poor performances. Glad I only paid for a matinee. These hams must be the nasty odor the astronauts smelled on Atlantis the other day.

unconfirmed typhoid worst kind
Jacques Chirac confesses he is "a bit surprised" at a leak to the press of a French report (re pore') that bin Laden was victim of a "severe typhoid crisis while in Pakistan on August 23, 2006." Within his lonely isolation there was understandably no medical help and the al-Qaeda leader has allegedly expired, paralyzed lower limbs and all.
SO'W is more than a little surprised that Jacques would be "a bit surprised" but not surprised that France Looks Into Bin Laden Death Report ...what a fortunate break it would be for George.
But you'd expect that others must've been affected in the "severe typhoid crisis", so how many rebels/terroists/jihadists are dead in their mountainous Pakistani retreat? And if this were true, you'd think Musharraf would've been trumpeting the news--and perhaps taking credit for sending in the blankets.

UN Cat Fight: Rrrraowww-w-w-w!
Dueling presidents at the UN yesterday--Bush the street-fightin' alley cat, Ahmadinejad the Siamese, if you please, sprayin' all over the place, and accusing each other of their own crimes.
Bush's supposed shout-out to the Iranian people that their leadership was using "your nation's resources to fund terroism, and fuel extremism, and pursue nuclear weapons"--can I get a "Karl Rove"?--sounds hauntingly familiar.
If you're feeling generous toward Mr. Bush, you could substitute "tout" for "fund" and you'd have a hypocrite who knows whereof he speaks--from experience. Wonder what Bush imagines he's used US resources for if not for same?
Ahmadinejad countered several hours later (keep the kitties apart now, or else!)
that the US was using terroism as a "pretext for the continued presence of foreign forces in Iraq". True, imho, except he left out the part where Iran is benefiting from the situation immensely, and wanted the Bush regime to invade Iraq--who put Chalabi up to it after all?
The Iranian prez also criticized the UN for standing "idly by" during the violence in Lebanon--another spray toward the US who kept the war going, backed it, and probably came up with the idea to use the soldiers' kidnapping as the "pretext" in the first place.
So the tension was high, the kitties can't be allowed to pass each other in the halls this week or the fur will fly, and yesterday's showdown was a stand-off of Saturn-opposite-Neptune proportions. (Dates of their exact oppositions: 8/31/06; 2/28/07; and 6/25/07...the snarly cat fight continues.)
Authoritative Saturn = US; mystical, oily Neptune--always associated with the Middle East...you remember that Neptune was at 6 Aquarius on 9/11/01--the Medina degree...and so 9/11 marked a Neptune Return for Mohammed's entry into Medina--the founding of Islam. And bin Laden well knew this--perhaps Bush did, too!
9.20.06 11:43 am
Friday: See Lim's Limericks to add Chavez to the fight! And now 9.22.06 Armitage and Musharraf are snarly with puffed- up fur. Guess now we know why Pakistan was so QUICK to support Bush after 9/11--Bush was "taken aback", he says, to hear of the bomb-back-to-the-stone-age-threat all right--taken aback that the truth got out. Machiavelli's Stench rises again.
Someone pass the catnip PLEASE...Cosmic Catnip, if you have it.

Bush to UN: the brass ring
2:46 pm: Went way but now I'm back...if someone will tell me what time Bush began speaking, I'll update the chart with comments....? Anyone?
UPDATE 12:04 pm: He hasn't begun speaking yet, as reported by NPR. Wonder what the hold-up is? Dragon Pluto is on the rise...or could the fairy have butterflies? Nah, not with this overconfident cuss. His audience is "skeptical", the AP says...a generous assessment.
Passing around the Kool-Aid won't make Bush's task any easier in this particular venue--and our self-styled emperor will be standing in front of the Assembly naked as the day he was born.
Looking at the chart for today's performance for the General Assembly, 11:30 am edt (last I heard), the rising (WHAT) degree is "23Sco": "A bunny metamorphosed into a fairy."
Keyword: TRANSITION
pos: the thourough self-conquest by which anindividual subordinates his naive and animal impulses to his ideals and aspirations;
neg: undisciplined escapism and complete distortion of attitude.
The larger world considers Mr Bush and his 'democracy' promotion extremely naive. Will changing into a fairy with this speech change anyone's opinions?
Chart-ruler Mars makes no applying aspects in this chart with the exception of an irritating semi-square to the Ascendant (the speech itself. Hopefully, 11:30 am is correct.)
I don't use outer planets as rulers personally, but looking at Pluto's applying aspects (power being the name of the game), Pluto is trining Saturn in 9th house, so he's got some help in his mission.
But Pluto is soon to square tr NN--the dragon squaring his own dragonhead...a difficult and possibly nuclear time. This will put Pluto in karmic degree with the NN in Pisces (Sag SQ Pisces has a religious significance, and the Dragon is, of course, the symbol of China.)
The WHY Point of this chart/speech "6Vir": "A merry-go-round" which speaks of attempts to catch the brass ring. HOW (Ic)? "6Pis": "Officers on dress parade."
WHERE (Desc) does this lead? "23Tau": "A jewelry shop filled with the most magnificent jewels."
Interestingly this is the degree of the last conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn, May 28, 2000...when Rs and Ds made their plans for the Bush presidency under which the world now labors.
Thanks, crooks, thieves, and war-mongerers...guess you're satisfied with your devil's pact.
Cyclically Jupiter and Saturn aquared one another June 22, with their next square Oct 25...more quarrels to come.
Bush's appearance at the UN today is occurring in a Balsamic phase (endings and partings) and the Solar Eclipse Friday is also about endings, losses, and separations. Doesn't sound good for Bush's mission to gain support for his misadventures, does it?
More later on this speech--or maybe I should say "plea"--if there's anything interesting to say about the mess of the naive fairy.
