What's Chimerica?

What...or where...is Chimerica?

Booing Biden

Joe Biden was booed at an Eagles game on Sunday in the City of Brotherly Love.

Well, although I've published a few doubts about Biden myself I have yet to boo him. But the Obama-Biden administration is young yet - still in the gestation stage actually but will soon birth and be running around the White House playing with our lives.

Hope this works out because the world could use a break and some decent leadership of which there is a dearth upon the planet.

And perhaps I see things too simplistically (ya think?!?) in that the Obama-Biden administration has two paths - to attempt to best the global crime syndicate - or to be card-carrying members.

Which do you think they'll be?

Obama-Bush meet at White House 11.10.08

Walking the colonnade this afternoon at the White House are our present and future presidents.

The limo carrying the Obamas was reported as passing through the White House gates at 1:46 pm est. Rising at that minute was 5Pis01 bringing Barack Obama's natal Chiron Rx with it. This video records their stroll at about 1:52 pm est.

At a serious Hour of Saturn, we may wonder what Saturn, planet of authority and control, was up to. Saturn was in an obsessive-compulsive aspect of 165 degrees with the ASC...

may hold position of authority; needs to be seen as authoritative, dependable, and respectable; fear of sharing with others (too much to hide? -jc); can demonstrate to others how to set and reach goals. (Quindecile, Ricki Reeves.)

Venus is out-of-bounds and will conjunct Pluto around 2:00 am est, Nov 12. When two titans meet I look for 'meetings' overhead so the Venus/Pluto conj must be the descriptor for this presidential tour and transition talk...Pluto = Bush, Venus = Obama (still technically 'outside' the White House...or White Lodge, if you prefer...Venus OOBs.)

Venus' degree '28Sag' has this Sabian Symbol: " An Old Bridge Over a Beautiful Stream."

Hope it goes somewhere for America's sake!

Missing White House email case to continue

Today it was ruled that the lawsuit over 'missing' White House emails will continue. Good.

Seems the Solar Eclipse of Sept 11, 2007 will keep on giving...

bringing to the surface long-term worries about issues involving paperwork and communications; news has sense of fatedness about it; responsibilities with paperwork come home to roost.(Brady's 'Predictive Astrology'.)

Cock-a-doodle doo!

Bailout Bill full of Black Holes

Sometimes I wish I knew more about using Black Holes, Quasars, Pulsars, and other fascinating astronomical oddities in my Astrology work but where would I find the time? There are bells and whistles in my Solar Fire software now that I never use and doubt I ever will get around to it.

That's why when it comes to Oct 3, 2008's outrageous Bailout Bill, I turn to Alex Miller-Mignone at the excellent Daykeeper Journal for information about Black Holes and the red finances of the Bush administration.

Bushies rush to enact last minute policies

But in this WaPo article, we learn that President-elect Obama will be reversing approximately 200 Bush administration policies and executive orders - especially the ones which were imposed for "overtly political" reasons.

And President Obama may be able legally to perform some of these reversals without waiting for Congress by signing...an executive order.

What's one of the best things about Barack Obama? He taught constitutional law for ten years.

Yeee-hah! Rejoicing in America!



Update Nov 9, 7:25 pm est: a large thanks to my friend, Alex, who has sent me a heads-up on Bush's Kiss Goodbye: deregulating radiation levels in our drinking water! Dubya thinks more of his nuclear energy friends than he does of Americans and their health. But that's really no big surprise, is it?

70th anniversary of Kristallnacht today

Today, November 9, marks the 70th anniversary, (a word which seems celebratory for an event which was a low point in humanity's history), of Kristallnacht, when Hitler's pogrom against the Jews was carried out.

Here are two links to recent posts on the subject which include a few astro-details of that dark night and a link to a Der Spiegel article concerning a resolution which stalled in Germany...

Kristallnacht artifacts found and Germany's Kristallnacht resolution fails to pass...hmmm...wonder who benefits politically from the resolution's non-passage at this particular juncture?

Nov 9, 1938 - Nov 9, 2008...and what have we learned?

Grumpy Old Men of the GOP

Senator Lindsey Graham, friend of John McCain, explains November 4's 'Grumpy Old Men' of the GOP and why they lost the White House, which is fine as far as it goes, it just doesn't go far enough.

Ex: Graham says the Republican Party is tainted by corruption. Actually, corruption doesn't so much 'taint' as spread out and infect to the core.

Their party is closer to being a cesspool and Graham's labeling their corruption so delicately as a 'taint' doesn't change anyone's assessment of the GOP. Sorry. You people infest Washington DC, my favorite city, and I cannot forgive you your perfidy and rotteness. You stink and so do your enablers.

Another reason for their loss, he says: overspending. America is bankrupt under these pocket-lining monkeys and it's mere 'overspending'? That you can cut back on. We've nothing left to cut - the Greedy Old Party heisted it all while certain Dems drove the get-away car.

And last but not least in Graham's oh-so-reflective confession: they "sometimes" came across as a "bunch of grumpy old men."

Sometimes? The GOP chose to run the white-haired dude with the sour face and the lamentable memory...as they love to say to the down-and-outers among us: all through your life you made choices. You partisans chose the grumpy old man. Did you not know his age? Puh!

Why, it's almost as if the Republicans wanted a Democrat to struggle in the White House after they'd made hay with America's resources, reputation, and freedoms. And it isn't as if the GOP didn't know they were in serious trouble for Election Day 2008 and they had known it for years.

Well, apparently it will be baton-passing time on January 20.

And even though I have serious misgivings about a Barack Obama presidency, it's not personal (at this point) against him (he's quite fabu and talented) - it's that the larger political/economic agenda steamrolls along with The People paying the price, no matter who fulfills the figurehead position required of the Oval Office.

And as both readers of this blog know - he won't have to be grumpy to make me mad as a wet hen.
