Cluster around the Sun: 4 planets

Space Weather News for Nov. 11, 2006

FOUR PLANETS: Jupiter, Venus, Mars and Mercury are all crowded around the sun this weekend. The great conjunction is invisible to the human eye (too much sunlight), but SOHO can see it. The spacecraft's coronagraph is able to block the glare and reveal the planets. Visit SpaceWeather.com for live images.#

Visit George Bush (Sun) for images of who's clustering around his nibs this weekend...perhaps:

moneybags/guru Jupiter (Cheney?), a Venusian, warlike woman (Condi?) or a legal eagle (Gonzales?), Mars (Gates? Rove?), and Mercury (Tony Snow? Bolten?)...well, those are my best guesses with the short notice I gave myself! All are, btw, in Scorpio, sign of big business, hidden power, spying, and The Eagle Point "15Scorpio", one of the prominent points in the August 11, 1999 "King of Terror" Eclipse...so-named hundreds of years ago by Michel Nostradamus.

Oh Canada!

Universities move to hide work from U.S. eyes 11 Nov 2006 Concerned about the U.S. government's prying eyes, a number of Canadian universities are changing the way their professors and students conduct online research. Many university libraries subscribe to RefWorks, a popular U.S.-based Internet tool used by academics and students. But the Patriot Act — which grew out of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and which potentially allows U.S. authorities to sweep through databases such as RefWorks — has prompted Canadian postsecondary institutions to abandon the American server for one housed at the University of Toronto.# from LegitGov.org

Wyoming smells burning gas

Apparent Pipeline Fire Burning in Wyoming in an area of natural gas pipelines southwest of Cheyenne, with flames shooting hundreds of feet in the air and seen from several miles away.

Source of the fire is not immediately available, natch, but so far no injuries are reported. Hope it remains that way.

Washington as shining example

Now that the Republicans have made their public (stage) bows and kowtows to The People's Will, it's time for an example to be shown to the "democracy" in Iraq which they were so determined to ill-advisedly force upon a sovereign nation for whatever reasons stated and unstated, lied about, kept hidden, poorly justified, "exported" or propagandized.

Your reach across "the aisle," representatives OF The People, will be reaching around the world to be seen and remarked upon in Baghdad and elsewhere, for all your lofty rhetoric has come home to haunt you on the Hill--a Hill which once shone out around the globe before your perfidy and greed tarnished it to its current and unrecognizeable state.

After six years+--make that twelve l o n g years of your corruption and misdirected energies--you should either work together for the common good or leave the premises. Fix what you've broken, crumbums.

Lousy service is no longer required, and that goes for Dems and Indies as well.

So get your democracy game on--let's see if you can play, as well as talk, a good game. Your betters could do both--the ones who wrote the Constitution you disdain and the Bill of Rights you undermine.

So often I've referred to We-the-Sheeple, but it is you who should be sheepish, shamed, and embarrassed beyond bearing.

Saturday 11.11.06 is Veterans' Day: Bush said today that the battles in Iraq would be favorably compared by history to our WWII battles. He just won't give it up. He can't, under the ruse of supporting our troops who are currently and so courageously serving their country, thanks to his misadventures.

My heart aches for them and for their families, made more excruciating with the approach of another holiday.

But the only way history will look favorably at Bush's performance is if the rewrite continues apace with superb thrown in front of his sullied name.

Years ago, when I lived in my favorite city of Washington DC, Nixon and Watergate happened, and a ruined atmosphere wafted across the District. I can hardly imagine how rife and rank it must be now.
