Remember Barack Obama's speech at the Democratic National Convention?
Wish someone could come up with a definite birth time for the Senator.
There are several times proposed in an article you'll find linked in my post on people who have Scorpio Rising which is one of the possible Ascending signs for him especially if you use the 1:06 pm time which is making the rounds online.
Does Barack Obama have Scorpio Ascending? See what you think and let me know your thoughts if you get a mo and IF you can get Blogger's consarned Comment window to open for you! Otherwise you'll find my contact email address at the bottom of this page (zevo calamari--this means you!) ;p

Eugene Debs: if you go to Washington
"If you go to the city of Washington, you will find that almost all of those corporation lawyers and cowardly politicians, members of congress, and mis-representatives of the masses claim, in glowing terms, that they have risen from the ranks to places of eminence and distinction. I am very glad that I cannot make that claim for myself. I would be ashamed to admit that I had risen from the ranks. When I rise it will be with the ranks, and not from the ranks." Eugene V. Debs, Socialist, Activist, Presidential Candidate (1855-1926)
Eugene V. Debs#

Here's a link to a previous article on Debs where I give Debs' natal chart details along with more pertinent words from the man himself:
Eugene Debs still speaks convincingly demonstrates a quote which shows a directness which *most political Washingtonians of 2008 sorely lack--they're too busy trying to create the illusion of infallibility and keep their bald patooties covered!
*Even if I fail to say so, I always keep in mind that there possibly could be 1-2% of them infesting DC who actually mean well--but look who they have to deal with. Hang out with charlatans, scoundrels, and scalliwags long enough and you know what that makes you!

Congress needs Stop-Loss applied
Can you believe the craven insensitivity of our 'representatives'? They've scheduled their lovely Spring Vacation during the 5th anniversary of the Iraq War they illegally jingoed us into.
The following is a Heads-Up from Democrats.com:
Resist in March
March 19 marks the 5th Anniversary of the invasion and occupation of Iraq. Peace and justice organizations will hold actions around the country and in Washington, DC to demand an end to the funding of the occupation, along with the impeachment of the president and vice president who launched it.
For the full range of activities, see Resist in March
The timing of these efforts could not be better, with Congress considering another $105 billion for the occupation of Iraq, with Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz putting the true costs of the occupation over $3trillion, and with awareness growing that Congress can simply stop voting on additional funds.
Here's what we want our Representatives to do
_______
MARCH 10-12 in Washington DC: Stop-Loss Congress
While Congress plans a vacation from March 15th to 30th, Bush's stop-loss policy requires soldiers to involuntarily extend their tours and prolong the occupation. It is time to Stop-Loss Congress!
Stop-Loss Congress
_______
MARCH 13-16, 2008 (Thursday-Sunday): Winter Soldier
Members of Iraq Veterans Against the War will testify in Silver Spring, Maryland to crimes witnessed and committed in Iraq. Audio and video of panels will be available live online, on satelite TV, and on Pacifica radio.

March 18th, Tuesday: CODEPINK Action Day to Take Back the Constitution: Code Pink Alert
Events are also planned around the country on March 17-18, including events in support of impeachment and demanding an end to funding the occupation. See: Resist in March
Impeachment advocates are using this opportunity to advance a new strategy modeled on what achieved the resignation of Richard Nixon: After Downing Street

MARCH 19, 2008 (Wednesday) Nonviolent Civil Resistance in All 435 Congressional Districts and in the Nation's Capital on the Fifth Anniversary of the Occupation of Iraq
Locations in each congressional district, to be determined locally, will include congressional offices (Congress Members and Senators will be in their districts on this day), federal buildings, military recruiters, weapons makers, war profiteers, or corporate media outlets.
In Washington, with Congress out of town, the focus will be on war profiteers in the military industrial disaster-capitalism complex. Events will include roles for people not wanting to risk arrest.

On Monday March 10 and Tuesday March 11, we will deliver "official" stop-loss notices to all members of Congress to notify them that all of their LEAVES, VACATIONS and HOME VISITS HAVE BEEN CANCELLED until every soldier and mercenary is home from Iraq. On Wednesday March 12, we will take nonviolent action on Capitol Hill.

March 7: Pisces New Moon
Here you see the New Moon in Pisces chart for Friday, March 7, 2008, set for the White House, exact at 12:14:12 pm est.
Having just typed in a full post on the subject there have again been tech troubles which lost my article so I must refer you to enlarging the chart to read a few of my notes relating to Hillary Clinton.
And I highly recommend you to Australian astrologer Lynda Hill's excellent analysis which focuses on the Sabian Symbols of this Pisces New Moon.
Perfecting during a Mars Hour with Mars still traveling out-of-bounds and in his own shadow (the god of war will leave his shadow when he reaches 12Can27 in April) there is much erratic energy in the chart with politics dripping all over it.
This New Moon is in the 10th house of Public Status and Career--and conj rebellious, disruptive Uranus. Tech interference with voting machines is quite likely, as will be the contentiousness that dirty tricks always bring.
The current Solar Eclipse degree continues to be triggered by Chiron with Icarus in tow and in the New Moon Over Washington's 8the house of debt and credit.
Mars-Pluto's opposition meet at the US natal Mc (Sibly chart: 5:10 pm lmt) so we have: dealing with might on either side of any issue; major job maneuver. You'll see this midpoint marked in the New Moon chart's 4th house.
Well since there's no guarantee that this entry will save or publish, I'll mosey for now and leave you to Lynda for the rest! She makes some interesting points about Clinton's not being able to stay in the race, and to McCain's lack of stamina, both of which have been noted prior by this, your reluctant astrologer.

Birth of the American Presidency
April 20, 1789 marks the birth of the US Presidency as George Washington, the Father of Our Country, took the first Oath of Office...and they've been doing it regularly ever since.
In fact, we have a few folks squabbling back'n'forth over who will take the next Oath in 2009. Wanting to join that exalted list, I imagine.
Talk about modern! Did you know that George Washington has a blog all his own?
Amazingly, it's very well done for such an old fella!

Bush-Cheney: the threat that's out of control
Breaking News and Commentary from Citizens For Legitimate Government Mar 2, 2008

MPs warn against US attack on Iran:
A military strike against Iran is unlikely to succeed and could provoke a violent backlash across the region, MPs have warned. The Commons foreign affairs committee urged the Government to use its influence with Washington to persuade the US administration to "engage" diplomatically with the Iranians over their nuclear programme.#
You mean someone has influence with the Bush-Cheney 1% gang?
Since when does it do any good to negotiate with pyschopaths?
You know when my generation demanded we leave Vietnam, Cheney and those like him thought we were wrong. And when Bush coup'd the White House the first time, I prayed that another generation of young Americans wouldn't be done as my generation had been done in the 60s and 70s by our own government.
And yet it has happened again and now--now some of the same neocons want to bomb yet another target as if more suffering of innocent people matters for nothing....it's "success" at any cost and too bad for anyone who gets in their way. Protect America is their excuse for the mayhem and misery they cause so rashly and zealously.
It's only Capitol Hill Theater, dahling!
And it makes me heartsick to think that NO ONE in Washington can or will stop these outlaws who consider themselves above every law of man and not subject to God's laws as mere mortals.
Yet I assert that while they may temporarily cheat judgment on earth, there is one authority they will not cheat, in spite of what they profess to believe within their secret brotherhoods and societies of whatever stripe with which they choose to cavort.
As these men have changed the voice and tone of America and perverted her mission in the world, her social fabric is being rent into need, want, and loss, while the radical reformers have grown even more brazen and craven.
And if the good people of Iran should find themselves in the line of fire of these men, they will speak out against a wayward nation that was forged in freedom from oppression, yet is no longer willing to trod the higher path of the common good--not here, not anywhere. Only the American people can make a difference--but will we?
The simple fact that an imperialist government can pretend to "spread freedom" through violence is enough reason for someone with influence to put a stop to their hubris and the crime spree that has gone on far too long for lack of an ability to admit that they are mere men and thus fallible as are the rest of us.
You can't sit down with madmen, you can't negotiate with killers, they'll tell you. Seems they know themselves rather well.
So my question is: how in the world will British MPs get across their reasonable, cautionary advice to men such as these?

Noam Chomsky: media plays the game
The media want to maintain their intimate relation to state power. They want to get leaks, they want to get invited to the press conferences. They want to rub shoulders with the Secretary of State, all that kind of business. To do that, you've got to play the game, and playing the game means telling their lies, serving as their disinformation apparatus. -Noam Chomsky
Here are some natal details on Chomsky, and this recent post concerns America's backing of Israel and the upcoming Saturn-Uranus opposition, a cycle which began with their conjunction in 1988 and which was triggered by Dec 2007's Great Jupiter-Pluto Conjunction.
