Bush, the comma

Ian Welsh at his Agonist Blog writes excellently on Bush's recent use of "just a comma" to describe his Iraq War and how it's part of a code to the religious right for "Never put a period where God has put a comma."

Or, for the unreligious among us, it ain't over till it's over.

Funny thing is, the original phrase came from George Burns' wife, commedienne Gracie Allen, and was adopted by the United Church of Christ in January, 2002. The UCC qualifies as a religious LEFT organization with their "God isn't finished yet" phrase co-opted by Bush speech writers. Funny/odd, isn't it?

The UCC is devoted to fighting for social justice and OPPOSES the Iraq War, so although part of Bush's "dog whistle politics" as Ian Welsh has called Bush's shout-outs to his religious right supporters, it has been something of a task this week for Bush counselor, Dan Bartlett, to defend the phrase as "a historical analysis--that these brief periods seem long and protracted now, but when you look back at them in history, they won't seem that way. He's not discounting the loss of life or the sacrifice people are making."

Seems your son's, daughter's, or spouse's deaths are just part of a very very long game for world domination. Get some global perspective, saith George, it's all good.

Noble effort, I suppose, for Mr. Bartlett, but it's a ridiculous explanation--the idea that George Bush gives a flying crap about what others have sacrificed might have been better shown by not rushing our troops into an ill-begotten war in the first place.

And, btw, neither Bush, Bartlett, nor I will be around to appreciate all the death and destruction visited upon the world by the Bush regime as a comma, a period, or a footnote. In fact, the people most closely affected by Bush's "comma" are already maimed or dead--or on their way out on a sandstorm patrol as Bush enjoys his weekend.

AND: as I've posted here and elsewhere--as have others since the neocon regime began--al-Qaeda wants Bush's "stay the course" directive to continue for their benefit as evidenced by a recently translated letter to their minions in Iraq.

Al-Q must've celebrated wildly when these jingoists couped the White House predicting what the arrogant response would be to their provocations. They set the trap to use up America's resources, and Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and the 1% Gang stepped right in--with others making the sacrifices and paying the costs--while George and his energy baron friends reap the millions.

Or should I say billions?

George, the comma, is but a blink of God's eye just as we all must be. But is he the apple?

Harvest Moon and the White House

Tonight's Harvest Moon--the first Full Moon after the Autumnal Equinox--is occurring as the Sun is in process of conjuncting US natal Saturn (Sibly.)

Sun to Saturn: issues of seniority, authority, and maturity are highlighted, and serious situations stifle the fun when Sun conjuncts Saturn. But hard work and loyalty may earn rewards or recognition, too. Guess this could describe Bush calling Hastert to buck him up to take the buck for the Foley Flap.

(Personal example: when my father passed away, Sun was conjunct my natal Saturn--to the minute.)

Note: US natal Saturn and 9/11: Mercury was conjunct US n Saturn on the morning of the 9/11 attacks restricting ideas, communications, and information. There is a seeking or using of information and skills in order to attain seniority and status. Organizaton and preparation become huge issues. (Boy, did they.)


So with tonight's Harvest Moon chart set for the White House 11:12:47 pm edt, the Rising degree (WHAT) is 6Can31 conjunct US natal Jupiter.

Now "6Can" is the "Game birds feathering their nests" degree and I'm stirring up a cauldron of tar on the hob as I type. Actually it's the same batch I've been stirring since 1999, but never mind...let's use "7Can" for the WHAT of this Harvest Moon, so named because farmers pre-electric lights could harvest their crops after sunset...and I have a distinct feeling that White House denizens are even busier than usual tonight.

This Full Moon will be extra good at draining the color from all its light touches, so the Bush term's dingy gray White House will be all the more obvious.


"7Can": "Two nature spirits dancing under the moonlight" (Rudhyar), and Edmund Jones gives: "Two fairies on a moonlit night": ASCENDANCY...

pos: a transforming sensitivity or a healing imagination;

neg/shadow side: a senseless retreat to make-believe.

In WASHINGTON? Guffaw...Capitol Hill Theater must be in rehearsal tonight and George will be wandering the halls talking to portraits again, Laura!

Rudhyar explains "7Can" as:

keynote: The play of invisible forces in all manifestations of life (sounds kind of like, we are not alone, doesn't it? or perhaps a secret ritual just after 11 pm in the W-H dungeon...will Geronimo ride again?)

Moon's degree "13Aries": "An unexploded bomb reveals an unsuccessful social protest" (could relate to the Foley Flap.) Rudhyar's keynote: An immature evaluation of the possibility of transforming suddenly the status quo.

So perhaps Hastert Will stay in the saddle. I did find Gingrich's remarks interesting as he attempted to frame the issues--the Democrat's staging this scandal as if that's worse than Foley's actions or more heinous than the ineffectual dealing with the situation by R leaders (as they attempted the bomb safely concealed...for 3 years.)

Now it's difficult to believe a Dem or three DIDN't have something to do with the TIMING of the email/IMs unveiling (yes, Neptune at the "A man unmasked" degree) which tells me that Dems put politics over page safety, too--they ALL did. But Foley IS a REPUBLICAN, not a Democrat, as some obfuscators pretended on my teevee.


Image for tonight's Harvest Moon's personality blend:

Sun Libra/Moon Aries: A little girl and a little boy barter while playing on a see-saw. She wants his toy gun; he wants her cream cake. They decide to share.

Sounds like things will be smoothed out at this culmination stage of the lunar phase or...sex gets a saboteur into high places...?

This Libra/Aries blend has a tendency to make rash judgments which is underscored by a lack of Earth element in the chart.

12:03 pm: GROUNDED AGAIN? NPR reporting that Condi Rice's plane has "mechanical problems" and she needs more time to fly to England because of them--maybe it's leftover from all the firing her airplane has undergone. She may be skeddaling home asap once again with her forked tail between her legs.

Well if you want more info on the Harvest Moon which will be 12% larger than most previous 2006 Full Moons because she's near her perigee, go to spaceweather.com but if you want to read about moonlight's effects on vision read Strange Moonlight at NASA's site.

The White House's "vision" got us into this mess, and the Full Moon is a culmination of something begun at the New Moon--which was, as you know, a Solar Eclipse in the 8S Series: loss; separation; finishing something and being sad at its completion (as Foley should know.)

The Eclipse triggers in the Harvest Moon chart are midpoints: Mercury/Saturn (serious thinking, discussions, meetings; self-willedness; distrust; orgainizational ability; a conservative attitude; obstinacy; concentration) at 29Virgo19, and Pluto/Asc (will power; ambition; rule and control of one's environment; the utilization of psychic forces; dictatorship; striving for power; repulsive behavior) at 00Libra26.

Both these midpoints and the Solar Eclipse of Sept 22 occurred at 00Libra, a World Point so the world is paying attention to the Flap in Washington while it suffers losses of its own.

So chow for now--oh, and btw...moonlight becomes you!

SO'W...Tuesday 10.3.06: In rewatching the Chris Wallace/Bill Clinton interview from Sunday, I am struck by the same feeling I had when Clinton was president and the Lewinsky charges within the Clinton witch hunt was ongoing: that soemthing ELSE needed attention by Washington and the officials on our payroll sworn to protect the nation. She went there to latch onto the horndog--and the GOP wagged the blue dress in our faces. Thanks for that.

But that's not all we can thank the GOP for...

If "wag the dog" was behind Clinton's holding back on more military actions and assassination orders against bin L and others, then who is afraid their own culpability in muddying the presidential waters will be held up to view in 2006?

Using Ken Starr and his legal team to investigate on and on and on---just sure they'd find Something that would toss Clinton out of office so their neocon agenda could proceed without interference...was That considered more important than fighting enemies who had already attacked US interests?

Embassies, the USS Cole, army barracks, the 1993 WTC attack...no, the GOP was more concerned with "getting" Bill Clinton. Diverting him from his presidential duties at a critical time in our history was apparently deemed less important than playing diabolical politics...win-at-any-costs and NOW the true costs are piling up.


The whole Clinton deposition on tape was set up precisely BECAUSE they had the blue dress and because they knew that human nature--and Clinton's nature as a horndog (well known)--would make lying his only option...until they hit him with the blue dress and its DNA. Besides, the million dollar investigations had yet to pan out the way they thought...trying to take down a POPULAR president.

That Monica held the dress and its memories too dear for the dry cleaners has always seemed more than a little precious to me. In a word, Puh. Give me a break. Nasty, too.

Sunday...

And for after-interview talking heads on Wallace's Show and others--to bring up "Bill's temper erupted because he's worried about his legacy"--what an easy and opaque equivocation when there's nothing left to say about the charges he leveled. Play to your GOP constituents who'll believe ANYthing about the devil you've spent years setting up as if Clinton is any worse than your own side of the "aisle."

Ok, I'll hush up now about Clinton--I've been wanting to post this since Sunday morning and I feel better already. But who needs al-Qaeda when we've got Bush, Frist, and the rest opening their propaganda-catapultin' fear-mongering traps--
and hearing them, I feel nasty all over again.

shock the bubble, Foley, and Voting

Condoleeza Rice says that it "kind of doesn't ring true that you have to shock me into something I was very involved in." In Shannon, Ireland today she denied being told by George Tenet and Cofer Black on July 10, 2002, that they were very very worried about al-Qaida's determination to strike inside the U.S.

Bob Woodward is saying there is more to come out on these issues besides what's in his book, State of Denial.

Aside from Condi's extreme duh quality of what must have been quite a hastily called meeting between the three, she remains determined to strike a note of support for her man, George Bush.

There were many warnings reaching her from various sources--how many should it have taken before her bubble was pierced with understanding? Or did she/they--as conspiracy theorists believe--welcome the strike to justify their own war intentions?

Looking at the transits for July 10, 2001, it's interesting to see that the Sun was conjunct Rice's natal Moon 18 Cancer--Cancer, sign fof the mother and concerned with nourishment and security. Security. Her reigning need (Moon) is for Security, and the Sun was highlighting these issues for Condi that day. But it seems her mind was on chickens or something...

"18 Cancer": "A hen scratching the ground to find nourishment for her progeny."

Keyword: FULFILLING LIFE'S RESPONSIBILITIES (oops--kind of doesn't ring true that she was "very involved")...

Keynote: the practical concern with everyday nourishment necessary to sustain one's outreaching activities (guess her concern was with was HER activities, not bin Laden's.)

That's from Rudhyar's Sabian Symbols. The negative/shadow side from Edmund Jones:
idle bustle and unprofitable labor.

Seems to me that Rice has always been employed above her capacities or that at the least her loyalty to Bush is a blindspot to any and all common sense. The threat was so..."nebulous," she says. Naughty Nebulous Neptune, planet of veils, illusions, and deceptions...of propaganda and confusion.

Rice's natal Sun Sco/Moon Cancer: tendency to let subjective hunches replace objective reasoning; a kind of egocentric sensitivity that insists on making the world come to you.

They came, and she gave them the "brush off."

Images: A mother eagle (!) defends her babies with immense courage (wrong babies apparently--defending the Sheeple would've been better)...A mother passionately defends her delinquent child and pleads for a compassionate verdict.

Defending...Security...July 10, 2001 was a red-letter day for these issues, but a brush-off from Condi to George Tenet and Cofer Black and their worries about al-Qaida attacks on the Sheeple was her only response.

(If you've read my Chiron-Uranus Types in Government hereupon, you know the "delinquent child" is George with his adolescent mummy-poppy complexes...imho.)

Rice: No Memory of CIA Warning of Attack but I hear that rosemary is good for the memory...and there's always Gingko biloba.

Now on to the Foley pedophile email mess:

UPDATE Tuesday 6:30 pm: Despite Pressure, Hastert Won't Resign because Bush is standing by yet another of his men and it's having an effect.

Apparently more of an effect than Foley's Instant Messages pining for goodnight kisses from boys, and invitations to under-age teens to come to his Capitol Hill townhouse "for a few drinks."

Lawyers are saying now that Foley was molested when he was younger. Yeah, that gets passed on, doesn't it?

In a letter, the Christian Coalition is "standing behind" Hastert, Bush is standing by him, and as Jon Stewart might call it, there are "reach arounds" enough for all.

Such is Washington. #


Earlier post:

Ten months after the Republican leadership was apprised of Foley's tendencies, it hits the news. Is this a reverse-October Surprise to take heat off other issues and to try to manage this hot-potato scandal?

Well, Hastert and pals have been sitting on it for months--not that they haven't been dreamily wishing it could be kept quiet (guess Karl said, no)...and the safety of interns and pages be dam-ed in the meantime.

Today Hastert announced a "hotline" (unfortunate choice of word?) for pages (and interns?) to call in their own problems with Capitol Hill predators--I'm assuming they mean to out ANY DC politician who's got pedophilic leanings. Hope that doesn't result in a DELUGE (a Neptunian word) of calls and complaints.

At least when Lewinsky went to Washington, it was with the express purpose of attaching herself to Bill Clinton--which pales, imho, to this unearthing of perversions. Brings a similar scandal to mind which was better managed during Bush Sr's White house tenure, doesn't it?

Update 7:30 pm: Aghast Foley Criticizes Naughty Clinton 1998:


from legitgov.org

GOPedophiles, the lords of hypocrisy - Mark Foley on Bill Clinton in 1998: "It's more sad than anything else, to see someone with such potential throw it all down the drain because of a sexual addiction." Congress sees through party-colored glasses By Bill Adair 12 Sep 1998 For more than a week, members of Congress said they would avoid partisan politics when they got Kenneth Starr's report on President Clinton... Republicans were aghast at Clinton's behavior, with many saying it showed he had lied and abused his power. "It's vile," said Rep. Mark Foley, R-West Palm Beach. "It's more sad than anything else, to see someone with such potential throw it all down the drain because of a sexual addiction." ....Some of the strongest reaction Friday was in response to Starr's account of [Monica] Lewinsky performing oral sex on Clinton as he chatted with members of Congress on the telephone. That was "just sad," Foley said. "It's unbelievable that he could behave so carelessly in that setting." #


And so...

Neptune's ongoing triggering of the "Unmasking" degree will be lifting more disgusting rocks (Saturn) for the vermin and roaches to scatter about...which well describes the purpose of this blog--outing bwo Astrology the politicians who infest our nation and our Capitol. (Yet pedophilia was never on my SO'W agenda.)

I've been hearing for a while now that bedbugs have been making a comeback in America and they are varmints notoriously difficult to stamp out. But they can't be any harder to get rid of than the current infestation on Capitol Hill--this is the worst crop of boll weavils ever seen in our 230 years.

Makes ya itchy just thinking of Foley and the Gang.

And Mr.A.Cat has written a timely if unfortunate limerick entitled, Kitten from Foley, over at Lim's Limericks which hopefully isn't quite as bad for you as reading Foley's sorry emails. If it gives you hives, let me know.

Rs and Ds: what are they thinking?



Here are both the Republican and the Democratic Parties' Minor Progressed charts for today, Minor being the mental/causal plane of existence. What are they thinking with their legislative rubberstamping of Bush's power grabbing, torturing, and indefinite detention of combatants--AND of American citizens?


First this from Media Matters...please read if you haven't, and then we'll consider the Minors' midpoint pictures and Sabian Symbols--as bodies clog the sewers of Bush's Iraq:


The Senate just passed by a vote of 65-34 a bill that, among other things, allows the president to imprison forever, without trial, your neighbor's son -- a lawful permanent resident in the United States -- for emailing his Muslim roommate who went home to visit his family. Your daughter who organizes a protest at the Pentagon that gets a little more attention than the president thinks it should could become a detainee, held indefinitely. The bill says generally what activities qualify one as an "unlawful enemy combatant" subject to detention, but if the government can postpone that review indefinitely, who's going to tell the president that detention is illegal?

Think we're exaggerating? Think the bill goes after only terrorists or people who support them? Think again. The president is expected to sign it imminently. If you just read news reports, you won't have any idea how far this bill goes. Read it. Yes, it's too late to do anything, aside from letting your representatives know what they have done. They and the media have failed you. Read it. #

(My comment on the above: my representatives ALREADY KNOW "what they have done.")


Republican Party, Minor Chart 9.30.06:

Click image to enlarge and you may see my chicken scratch detailing the important Questions of any chart: Asc = WHAT; Desc = WHERE (does it lead); Mc = WHY; Ic = HOW.

(On these charts I've written the Edmund Jones description but this post will use a combo of his verson with Rudhyar's because they enhance one another...and with full attribution at end of post. "Neg/shadow side" refers to Unconscious or hidden motives.)


WHAT = "A man's motives are being publicly unmasked." Keyword: UNMASKING...

keynote: the difficulty for the modern individual to keep secret his private past or his deeper motives. Jones' neg/shadow side: self-betrayal through exceptional ineptitude.

WHERE does his lead? "A chemist conducts an experiment before his students."
Keyword: ALCHEMY...

keynote: in inquiring into the hidden process of nature, the human mind experiences the thrill of discovery. Jones' neg/shadow side: unintelligent dependence on supposition or rules of the book.

WHY = "White-capped waves display the power of wind over sea." Keyword: INTERPLAY...

keynote: the mobilization of unconscious energies under the pressures of superpersonal motives. Jones' neg/shadow side: pointless irritability and nervous self-exhaustion.

HOW = "Santa Claus furtively filling stockings hanging in front of the fireplace."
Keyword: INNOCENCE...

keynote: a rewarded faith in spiritual blessings. Jones' neg/shadow side: a childish or clandestine futility in seeking any normal richness of living.

(You notice that the "1Sag" degree is at Mc, too, along with Minor Sun (leadership): "A Grand Army of the Republic campfire." It has become necessary the last few years to keep an eye on "1Sag" for obvious reasons. And Minor Sun/Mars and Mercury/Venus are on that degree now.)

Rs' Minor midpoint pictures of note:

Mercury/Saturn = Mars (it's a Mars hour for them): TENDENCY TO TREAT OTHERS BADLY (my CAPS); separation by force or by argument; a change through force of circumstances; unrest and quarrels.

Jupiter/Neptune = Moon: little sense of reality; losing oneself through in one's own plans; speculations; wastefulness; instability. (This picture is active now in Rumsfeld's chart, btw.)


Now the Democratic Party's Minor chart for 9.30.06:

WHAT = "A boy moulded in his mother's aspirations for him." Keyword: IMAGINEERING (Imagination + Engineering)...

Keynote: the Spirit's answer to the vital needs of whatever became individualized out of its infinite ocean of potentialities." Jones' neg/shadow side: insensitive conformity to superficialities.

WHERE = "Men traveling a norrow path, seeking illumination." (as long as it's not the Illuminati.) Keyword: WALK ON...

Keynote: the capacity inherent in every individual to seek at whatever cost entrance to a transcedent realm of reality. Jones' neg/shadow side: obvious hypocrisy.

WHY = "Aroused strikers surround a factory." Keyword: a REVOLT AGAINST PRIVILEGES...

keynote: the disruptive power of the ambitious mind upon the organic wholeness of human relationship. Jones' neg/shadow side: a dissatisfaction which surrenders rather than regrasps the self's potential. (Reminds me of the bogus "cut and run" criticism leveled at the Ds--as the Chinese know, it is not 'surrender' to regroup forces and plan anew. And it's done in the Middle East all the time as they "fade into the night" and sneak through their network of tunnels!!)

HOW = "Within the depths of the earth, new elements are being formed." Keyword: PSYCHIC GESTATION...

keynote: the alchemical fire which both purifies and transforms the very substance of man's inner life. Jones' neg/shadow side: persisting inner confusion.


Democratic Party's Minor midpoint pictures:

Sun/Mercury = Mc: ego-conscious thinking; ability to stand by one's convictions and speak up for oneself (!); the businessman; the intellectual worker.

Moon/Saturn = Asc: reserved self-presentation; inhibitions.

Mercury/Venus = Mars: making strong emotional statements; creative energy; a physicist (hey--how'd He get in there?!? Is there a physicist among 'em?)

Mercury/Mc = Sun: tackling life's problems; the study of human nature (are taxpayers funding the study? Tackle, and quit studying already.)

Uranus/Neptune = Saturn: pessimism; a painful loss.

Now that last picture has the New World Order pair--Uranus and Neptune--pointing to the Dems' Saturn, the significator of the Dem Party (Jupiter representing the Rs.)

And Saturn IS authority--this doesn't sound good for winning seats, so...

this is one of my reasons for thinking that our politicians--and our next president--will again be installed by the powers-that-be--the globalists pulling th strings and seeing to it that our elections are nothing more than charades and shams--more political theater, Dahling, with its illusary "Rs vs Ds"--designed to divide and conquer the electorate.

The American people coming out IN FORCE will be the only way we'll get any relief from these ruthless crooks who continue feathering their nests at our and the world's expense. Are you game for putting these gamebirds back a pace or two?

Yet WHO in their right minds can be up to the task of scooping the poop that these puppies will leave behind? Talk about a rebound president!

Thomas Paine remarks on wars and taxes

"In reviewing the history of the English Government, its wars and its taxes, a bystander, not blinded by prejudice nor warped by interest, would declare that taxes were not raised to carry on wars, but that wars were raised to carry on taxes." Thomas Paine

you were warned

House passes warrantless domestic spying measure 28 Sep 2006 The House of Representatives passed a bill on Thursday that would provide congressional authorization for Dictator George W. Bush's warrantless domestic spying program but subject it to new rules [?]. The president would be permitted to order warrantless surveillance, for example, after an "armed attack," "terrorist attack" or when the president deems there is an "imminent threat." Rep. John Conyers, a Michigan Democrat, charged: "Hidden in the fine print are provisions which grant the administration authority to maintain permanent records on innocent U.S. citizens, granting the administration new authority to demand personal records without court review, and terminating any and all legal challenges to unlawful wiretapping."

Do notice the "hidden in the fine print..." part above and reread my little verse from months ago which, I've been told by someone waking up just now, that it finally makes sense concerning their former idol:


May I be a tad specific?
Mr. Bush is hitler-ific
and he takes psycho
Napoleon to heart.

With his finger on The Button
and the rest of us as mutton
putting bossy at the helm
was not so smart.

Can we fix it in a minute?
'cos we're really thickly in it
and I see no help in sight
from George the king.

If you want your rights, Miranda
swallow all his propaganda
(and a CAFTA he will hand ya)
but you won't receive a notice
'til the spring.



Now, E.N., you see I wasn't kidding...and the trap's been sprung. This week's rubberstamp legislation is your notice. And considering the administration's record at keeping records safe from hacking and theft, I'm SURE these "permanent records on innocent US citizens" will be safe as a toad in a hidey hole.

November '06 and '08: Like flies on flypaper, we must Vote Democratic--it's our only hope. Or--we can listen to George--he's only torturing at his own whim and taking away your rights for your own good. Now go back to sleep.

refreshing the inner George Bush

Feeling like a trade-in? Want your money back?

Well, this hornery cuss has no plans to go anywhere, so you may as well refresh yourself on his modus operandi...unless a mysterious 'heart attack' should become necessary, that is.

May I recommend the burning bush of George Bush: 8 Leo relating to his natal Ascendant--his nibs himself, 8 Leo rising and

Chiron-Uranus Types in Government where I describe the reformist tendencies of Bush and his minions, including their adolescent proclivities.

You'll notice that his current law-changing to cover his torturing patootie traits are described here also--always a loophole or an escape hatch for these dice-rollers.

Hope to update the Chiron-Uranus info tomorrow or Friday at the latest.

Paper Trail, America?

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.

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.
