Today Tony Snow said that Senator Kerry "not only owes an apology to those who are serving, but also to the families of those who've given their lives in this."
And when he says, "IN THIS"...Snow means the Iraq War "this." This is the this to which he refers.
White House Spokesman Slams Kerry Remark continuing the kill-the-messenger-avoid-the-message tactics which Kerry then called the "classic GOP playbook." He also called Snow a "stuffed shirt" ha ha.
Guess the wiffle ball is in Tony's court now.
SO'W has to be with Kerry on this one--WHO owes our troops and their families an apology? The liaring war-profiteers who sent them there under a ruse?
Say whaa-a--aa, Mr. Snowjob? Rrraow-w-w-w! Cat Fight! I LOVE Washington Cat Fights when they're among politicians who are just shining us on anyway all the way around.
Will Slam-the-Messenger-Who-Tells-the-Truth work for the jingoist GOP just before midterm elections?
YOU be the Decider. Please.
10.31.06 2:32 pm EST--Yayyy-y-y! We got our real time back--now if we can just get our real country back, that'd be very cool!

Call For Change
With November midterm elections almost upon us, we have an opportunity to re-define our world rather than continue accepting the war-mongering model Washington politicians have foisted upon us. Is their mindset our mindset? Is the beltway reality yours and mine, or only theirs?
MoveOn.org has some info you may want to check out before you cast your vote.
And you can verify that your name hasn't been lost or mysteriously "purged" from your local voting rolls by visiting mydem.democrats.com. Avoid nasty surprises on Voting Day, because with paper-and-document-influencing *Mercury now retrograde until November 18, it may be a l-o-n-g month in the ballot-counting and winner-declaring departments, my peops.
Hold on to your Diebolds, it's going to be a stumpy ride.

*Read my Oct 15 post on midterm elections 2006 for chart details for Nov 7, Washington DC, 11:00 pm, which symbolically represents the end of the balloting, and thus, the election results themselves. We hope.

And then there's this: does a software company owned by Hugo Chavez really own Smartmatic, who'll be counting US votes? Think about it--AFTER you've taken your blood pressure meds...gives the smell of sulphur new meaning.

A. Q. Khan is stable
Too bad the world isn't so stable after Khan sold nuclear weapon technology to North Korea, Libya, and Iran apparently under a delusional the-more-the-merrier concept. Let's get this party started?
Well, the 70-year-old Khan has been treated for a blood clot after some cancer-related surgery, so he's not partying as much these days.
Not to worry, World, Disgraced Pakistani Scientist Is Stable...but was he stable before? Hey, what room have I to talk? We've got a dry drunk's finger on The Button...who's shown the world what he's capable of.
Can the grown-ups with some common sense take over now...PLEASE?

more GAO warnings of looming disaster$
David M. Walker, US accountant-in-chief, will be touring the nation for the 2008 campaign cycle and continuing to warn the country of the "fiscal black hole" Washington has dug us into since the 90s.
And you KNOW who has been at the helm while the GAO Chief Warns Economic Disaster Looms and Washington insiders talk about anything BUT what we need to face and deal with most, or there won't BE a ship to steer--or steer astray. Of course, the "elite" will have theirs, won't they? And it seems they rather obviously care nothing for the nation who brung them.
Meanwhile, we're being punk'd by politics once again...

white powdery message to Clinton
Is this an October Surprise? Substance Said Found at Clinton's Office from an envelope opened by a woman.
Saturday UPDATE: Rambling diatribe, Clinton! Seems the Substance at Clinton's Office Not Toxic after all. Whew.
Is it 'sufferin' anthrax' time again? The disgruntled-citizen archetype speaks out in an ineffectual way...
10.28.06 12:36 pm
Last evening's post starts here....
There are many surmises to be made from the chart (police called, 3:45 pm edt, Harlem, if you want to look) but without more details that's all it would be--surmises.
Here are the Sun/Moon Images for this afternoon which may be instructive of the day:
Sun Scorpio/Moon Capricorn (Cap Moon = the ambitious woman):
A general leads his troops to victory...A film director plans each shot to maximize its emotional impact.
And I'd say both may apply whether the "white powder" turns out to be bogus or not...and we may never really know, no matter what the line.
Will check back on this tale tomorrow and post a chart if should be instructive.

Meet the Dems: Levin, Pilosi, Feingold
My intention is to post some info on prominent Democratic personalities in case we find ourselves travailing under them once November midterms settle in--strictly a "just in case".
Today we have on deck: Carl Levin, Nancy Pelosi, and Russ Feingold.
These were chosen in a clump because they share Full Moon personalities, and are within range (no birth times known) of having the obsessive-compulsive Quindecile aspect between Moon and Mars.
As you know, the natal Moon describes much about our emotions, and Mars represents the dsesire nature--how we intitiate and direct our actions and energies.
In a mundane chart, the Moon = the public or the people--so in a politician's chart, this has an obvious connection to their natal Moons. Politicians obsessed about the public? Ya don't say! On behalf of the public would be appreciated!
Two of the charts we'll consider today--birth times unknown--will have two possibilities for the Moon's positions since she moves quickly through the 24 hour period and may move into the next sign. Exs: Carl Levin, who has Moon in Aquarius in he was born after 4:02 pm, and Russ Feingold with Moon in either Virgo or Libra.
Let's get the Moon/Mars *Quindecile out in the open first: may be agressive in fulfilling needs, emotionally abusive or ruthless; hair trigger temper tantrums and quick mood changes may be prominent; strong, passionate emotional convictions which may result in positive outcomes when put to practical use. (Sounds helpful for a politician!-jc)
Levin, Pelosi, and Feingold share the Full Moon personality blend which is often viewed by others as "the extremist." This blend (and the correct Moon sign doesn't affect this assessment) has a sense of life vs death, and fertility vs barrenness--a polarization which is constantly affecting this personality.
Balance and stability need continual shifting in the life perspectives, and a "middle of the road" must be found in order to achieve the high objectives of this blend.
One moment there is a sense of security--materially and intellectually--the next there is a plunge into turmoil which affects all relationships.
The most basic purpose of the Full Moon personality is preservation of the species and if a well-rounded, mature personality is developed by adulthood, the goals are within reach in spite of the constant inner state of flux.
There are hair trigger emotions (underscoring the above-mentioned Moon/Mars aspect), great self-expressive ability, and creativity. A constant stream of feedback and approval is required from others or the self-esteem swings very quickly down to the depths of despair and self-doubt.
There is a good ability to learn by one's mistakes, and a conformity vs anarchy element may be noticed. A keen sense of purpose, a sense that life is to be lived in the here and now, and major achievements mark this blend esp if the volatile child is allowed to develop into a stable adult. This is the "own best friend or own worst enemy" combo which ideally becomes the mature achiever.
The following are the Images for Integration (from Sun Sign-Moon Sign, by Chas and Suzi Harvey):
Carl Levin (June 28, 1934): Sun Can/Moon Cap:
An ancient water mill works away in rhythmic fashion, meting out just the required amount of fluid force to grind the corn that nourishes and sustains the village.
If born after 4:02 pm, Sun Can/Moon AQ:
A mother and child skip down the street, arm in arm, to attend the Vision for World Peace charity fete in the part...The world as family...A science museum inside a restored medieval castle...Carl Orloff's Carmina Burana.
(Perhaps someone who knows Levin better has a good guess as to which is correct--I vote for Moon in AQ, plus, "Carl" Orloff!-jc)
Nancy Pelosi (Sun Aries/Moon Scorpio):
Charlie Chaplin saves a maiden in distress...a passionate woman sells herself for her cause...The Godfather films. (Pelosi shares this natal blend with Tom Delay--shocking!)
Russ Feingold (Sun Pisces/Moon Libra, at sunrise):
A theatrical-musical artist entertains his entourage of friends and fans...Two lovers dream the same dream...A team of writers create a masterpiece.
Or, if born with Moon in Virgo:
A mosaic picture of the universe, each piece perfect in itself...Small events bring enormous consequences...Faith and reason shake hands.
(Someone who knows more about Russ Feingold could probably answer: is he a Virgo worker or a Libra charmer? I'm going to guess Moon in Virgo because I'm hoping
"Faith and reason shake hands" is the case which would be a welcome change in Washington, wouldn't it?-jc)
Well, there ya go: my first installment of Meet the Dems!

Fristy advice to GOP hopefuls
Bill Frist says the media hasn't covered the passing of the energy bill last year by Congress which has resulted in "taxcuts and lower gas prices."
Dear Bill, most voters weren't in a high enough bracket to receive your taxcuts other than the measly one Bush used just after he slipped into the White House backdoor the first time. Whom do you think you're talking to?
Frist to GOP hopefuls: Don't Stess Iraq is quite ridiculous...quite a stretch. To the voters who got the taxcuts it isn't news and probably comes under the preaching-to-the-choir category, and is there anyone who doesn't know that there's more in play with lower oil/gas prices than what a rubberstamp Congress enacts?
This latest (president-in-his-own-mind) Frist crowing may fool a few voters, but I hope most people have been paying closer attention to Washington and our do-
little Congress than to be swayed by such a weak argument!
Judging by the polls of our disapproval of Congress, Frist's effort at midterm elections damage control falls far short of the reality of the real world outside the beltway.
