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.

GM, Chrysler, Bailouts and Uncle Tom
Why the GM - Cerberus - Chrysler Bailout is Bad for Taxpayers
By Robert Farago
Cerberus Capital, a highly secretive NYC-based vulture investment fund, wants the US government and taxpayers to bailout its failed investment in Chrysler and its failing investment in GMAC.
Its partner in this raid on the US Treasury is General Motors, a woefully insolvent automobile manufacturer whose CEO is paid $40k each day. Here's why a bailout for GM and/or Chrysler is a bad idea.

Terrible looting of public capital has a habit of taking place during periods of dramatic political transition, and Bush has one underway.

The Election: It Had to Be this Way
By Timothy V. Gatto
Barack Obama will be the catalyst for a new movement, away from false hope and false promises, not because he will deliver to the people of this country anything worthwhile, but because he won't.
This will be the final nail in the coffin of our corporatist society.

By Naomi Klein
Terrible looting of public capital has a habit of taking place during periods of dramatic political transition, and Bush has one underway.
(Stop it? It's a done deal and he voted for it, and has surrounded himself with old NAFTA-esque Clintonites - perhaps it's part of the deal for Hillary's crying uncle.)

(Will it? An Astrology note: Obama's Inauguration chart (Jan 20, 2009, noon est Capitol Building) has the midpoint of the plutocratic corporatism pair, Pluto-Chiron, at Midheaven which is the Aspiration/Goal Point of the chart and thus of his Inauguration and new presidency. Wish it weren't but there it is...and it's closer to MC than ever before. Guess it's been no surprise after Obama selected - or had selected for him - Zionist Joe Biden as VP. Now he's chosen a chief-of-staff with similar dubious credits to his name.)

Astrology of Obama's 1st presser 11.7.08
President-elect Barack Obama's first presser (press conference) since his election was held in Chicago today and has some interesting midpoint pictures if you'd care to view my worksheet.
This is a first - to publish my notes as-are but with no chart image. The truth is: I was about to motor into the city to keep appointments and had no time to type out all the pictures for you.
A few other astrological details for the day are included such as Mars' Sabian Symbol '24Sco': "Crowds Coming Down the Mountain to Listen to One Man." Sounds like an Obama event to me!
Yet as usual with midpoint pics, it's the all-some-or-none effect and hopefully you can click-to-enlarge and read my scribbles concerning the atmosphere and indications of Obama's first presser.

An Obama administration
A Look Under the Hood at the (Potential) Obama Administration
By Joshua Frank
Barack Obama's administration will prove unlikely to alter the fundamental political machinery that has led us into war and economic turmoil.
Here is a brief summary of Obama's potential choices for a few key roles in his administration.
~:~
This article by Joshua Frank is not favorable to some of Obama's picks - in particular Rahm Emanuel. You may not agree with Mr. Franks' ideas but because I have misgivings about Emanuel and some of the other names being floated I wanted to publish the article's link. Senator Obama seems to be surrounding himself with Zionists which should perhaps be a good thing - but when it comes to having fewer wars - it isn't. jc
