UPDATE Tuesday 9.19: U.S. Says Photog Linked to Insurgents
Iraqi AP photographer, Bilal Hussein, has been imprisoned in Iraq without charges filed, without a public hearing, and the AP is calling for CLARITY on his incarceration. Seems Bilal took some photos unflattering to the US military--a possible explanation for why an AP employee would be held in such a manner.
His Iraqi citizenship and connections must've seemed a plus until it turned out that--hey!!--he's related to a lot of the insurgents who bedevil us! Another Oops for the Bush administration? Imprison and torture everyone's cousin and their brother and they'll thank ya later. Puh.
Since idealism increases in direct proportion to one's distance from the problem, I still say: give George a gun and send the coward on over. He'd be a detail of ONE though because no soldier in his/her right mind would depend on him. Ah, phooey--send him anyway, just make sure he's vestless in an armorless truck--Cheney's got some oil that needs transportin'.

NWO and a papal cat
Today I've been posting at Lim's Limericks concerning the Vatican, its call for the New World Order, and shilling globalist cats and kitties (translation: George Bush.)
If you can manage an ill-humored, somewhat pithy limerick, click on the link and let's schmooze with Mr.A.Cat who holds in high esteem the nation he has served so well. Plus you can read about my dinner, too.
9.16.06 4:35 pm
8:40 pm: Pope Stops Short of Apology to Muslims and the Vatican's teaching that the church "esteems" Muslims only steams them more. His offering that he "sincerely regrets" isn't good enough, as he should've known.
Well, it IS getting Bush/GOP troubles off the front page for a moment, isn't it?

Bush Tames the Lion in the Rose Garden
11:15 am edt White House Bush Press Conference:
Wish I had time to do justice to the chart for this Bush performance, but my car is in the shop and I must hitch a ride in a few minutes. However--
Jupiter 15Sco43 rising as Bush begins his statement with a low, barely controlled voice which rises in aggravation within minutes. Hour-ruler is Jupiter which is the apex planet of the ongoing Saturn/Neptune opposition, with Asc = Saturn/Neptune: feeling confined; feeling out of the group.
Saturn/Neptune = Jupiter: very upset with the ways of the world (that's ok--the world is very upset with Bush's ways, too.)
Mercury (communications) conjunct Mars (aggitated, forceful commmunications) 4Libra+; Moon (the public) is out of bounds--he's trying to tame the lions with this show of strength and displeasure...and his unitary executive privilege wings are in danger of some small clipping.
One more thing for now before I mosey: today's Sun Virgo/Moon Cancer blend is shared natally by Upton Sinclair who asked:
Is it altogether a Utopian dream, that once in history a ruling class might be willing to make the great surrender, and permit social change to come about without hatred, turmoil, and waste of human life?
Apparently not. (12:30 am: Clarification...apparently they won't make the great sacrifice--apparently it IS a dream.)
9.15.06 11:50 am
Update 9.16.06 12:12 am: Here are the midpoint pictures for the two t-square formations...
Sun/NN = Pluto: being persuasive; ordering and controlling others; public prominence; exerting influence over the masses: use of compulsion with others.
Saturn/Neptune = ASC (add to the above-listed Sat/Nep = Jupiter): feeling confined; sense of being out of the group.
The above-mentioned Mercury/Mars conjunction puts both planets conjunct two midpoints...
Jup/Mc = Mercury: large-scale ventures; Jup/Mc = Mars: clarity of purpose.
and
Asc/Mc (ID awareness) = Mercury: thinking about one's place in the world; a frank discussion; Asc/Mc = Mars: individual talents put into action; successful teamwork (with reporters' set-up questions perhaps? He always has a few softballs lobbed for catapultin' purposes); a positive attitude (really? He seemed, as George Stephanopoulos observed immediately afterward, "pugnacious".)
When Bush closed up the bottle of snake oil--11:57 am--the pugnacious Mercury/Mars conjunction were the only planets to change house (still a Jupiter hour)...and the feisty pair joined Sun and Venus in the 10th house of Career and Public Standing for old George.
The Sabian Symbol for their degree (MEJ) of "5 Libra": "A man teaching the true inner knowledge"> AFFINITY...
pos: a genius for understanding and calling out the underlying realizations by which human character comes to know itself at its best;
neg/shadow side: fatuous pride in the self's acumen and subtle or underhanded attempts to dominate everyone.
I'll leave you, Lone Reader, to ascertain which version of the above possibilities His Pugnaciousness showed us--and the world--today. 'Twas not so "subtle" imho.
12:38 am
1:26 am...From the SO'W's Gotta-Get-Some-Sleep Dept: Ramping up its political clout in Washington--guess who?
Roll Call: Google 'eager' to work with Republicans

a word from Syria
WorldNetDaily:
Syria Says US Behind Attack On Own Embassy 13 Sep 2006 Senior Syrian government official have accused the US of being behind Tuesday's assault on its own embassy in downtown Damascus. A Baath party official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told WorldNetDaily, "We in the government are 100 percent sure America was behind this attack, which is not the same as other attacks by Islamic groups." He explained, "Only the Americans can succeed in carrying out an attack just 200 meters from President [Bashar] Assad's residence in the most heavily guarded section of Syria."
Had to put this up--I'm in the middle of security upgrade Hades at the moment but this has to be posted.

Heads-Up for Bush?
9.14.06 11:45 am: Hey, George! Remember Afghanistan and the Taliban (and 9/11)?
The October freeze will soon be setting in as NATO pleas for help rejected so what's becoming George's Afghani misadventure is in danger of ending up like the 19th century route of the British--and that was an imperialist disaster, aka a massacre.
You'd think our Western "leaders" would've taken that lesson to heart (if any of them had one to take it to.)
Matt Taibbi has a great article about Bush's response to 9/11--and the world we think we live in--called The Low Post: Why Ask Why? which I hope you'll read if you haven't. Why indeed.
From the SO'W Just-So-You-Know Dept: Fareed Zakaria is a Trilateral Commission member, fyi, as are many of our media big *cheeses--which may help to explain the why of Zakaria's article sited in Taibbi's article.
*Limburger (sp?) 12:24 pm
1:00 pm: Where to send George and his Crew? Astronomers have found a new, distant FLUFFY planet, HAT-P-1, which orbits its star (our Sun is a star, as you know) once every 4.5 days. It's located in the constellation Lacerta. Sounds about right.
A "FRESH AIR" Heads-Up: Tomorrow, Friday (in this market--not sure about yours) the program is about the 14-year battle to make public the FBI files on John Lennon. "The US vs John Lennon" should be an interesting listen--turn on your radio.
As an early Beatles and Lennon fan (I saw them perform in Atlanta, second US tour) this hit really broke my heart--and I don't mean the Top 40.
