Space Weather News for Jan. 7, 2006:
BRIGHTENING COMET: Comet McNaught is plunging toward the sun and brightening dramatically. It is now visible to the unaided eye both at sunset and at dawn. Amateur photographers have found that they can take pictures of the comet using off-the-shelf digital cameras with exposure times less than a second. Estimated visual magnitude: between 0 and -1.
To see Comet McNaught, a clear view of the horizon is essential. In the morning, go outside and face east. The comet emerges just ahead of the rising sun. In the evening, face the other way--west. The comet pops out of the western twilight as soon as the sun sets. Binoculars reveal a pretty, gaseous tail.
Northern observers are favored. The long, dark mornings and evenings of Canada, Scandinavia and Alaska are ideal for viewing this comet so close to the Sun. But the comet has been sighted in other places, too, as far south as Kansas in the United States and Italy in Europe.

Wondering it's this comet is synchronicitously 'for naught'...or simply "naughty"...?
The Bush administration? For Naught...Capitol Hill? Naughty.

Pelosi talks tough on war escalation
Promising "close scrutiny" and that Bush will have to "justify" sending more troops to Iraq...sounds good until I remember it's only another installment of Capitol Hill Theater, dahling...let's see if Pelosi's tough talk is just hiding yet another version of rubberstamping by Bush enablers who have as much status to lose as he does--and some have more.
They're all playing their parts in the must-save-our-bacon charade together.

Revealed: Israel plans nuclear strike on Iran 07 Jan 2007 Israel has drawn up secret plans to destroy Iran’s uranium enrichment facilities with tactical nuclear weapons. Two Israeli air force squadrons are training to blow up an Iranian facility using low-yield nuclear "bunker-busters", according to several Israeli military sources.
Israeli general suggests to use Azerbaijan's airbases in strike against Iran 02 Jan 2007 In a stark statement published on Saturday Brigadier General Oded Tira observed, "President [sic] Bush lacks the political power to attack Iran. As an American strike in Iran is essential for our existence, we must help him pave the way by lobbying the Democratic Party (which is conducting itself foolishly) and US newspaper editors. We need to do this in order to turn the Iranian issue to a bipartisan one and unrelated to the Iraq failure."
Future of Iraq: The spoils of war --How the West will make a killing on Iraqi oil riches 07 Jan 2007 Iraq's massive oil reserves, the third-largest in the world, are about to be thrown open for large-scale exploitation by Western oil companies under a controversial law which is expected to come before the Iraqi parliament within days. The US government has been involved in drawing up the law, a draft of which has been seen by The Independent on Sunday. It would give big oil companies such as BP, Shell and Exxon 30-year contracts to extract Iraqi crude and allow the first large-scale operation of foreign oil interests in the country since the industry was nationalised in 1972.
Blood and oil: How the West will profit from Iraq's most precious commodity --The 'IoS' today reveals a draft for a new law that would give Western oil companies a massive share in the third largest reserves in the world. To the victors, the oil? That is how some experts view this unprecedented arrangement with a major Middle East oil producer that guarantees investors huge profits for the next 30 years. 07 Jan 2007 So was this what the Iraq war was fought for, after all? As the number of US soldiers killed since the invasion rises past the 3,000 mark, and President [sic] George Bush gambles on sending in up to 30,000 more troops, The Independent on Sunday has learnt that the Iraqi government is about to push through a law giving Western oil companies the right to exploit the country's massive oil reserves.
Lawmaker: U.S. catching, releasing top terror targets 05 Jan 2007 The U.S. military already knows what half of its most-wanted terrorist targets look like because they have been apprehended and photographed in the past, a Republican congresswoman said Friday. The United States is operating "a catch and release program for al Qaeda in Iraq," said Rep. Heather Wilson, a member of the House intelligence committee. [Right, catch-and-release insures that people and structures keep getting blown up and "justifies" the "need" for more "security" and "rebuilding" provided by Halliburton and Blackwater USA.]#
It's the OIL, said I and many others. Bush doesn't want to catch binnie, said I and others. There is such an echo in here, Cindy Sheehan is visiting Gitmo, and Niobe, asteroid of the grieving mother, continues to dog George Bush and justifiably so.
2007 is enjoined. And world "leaders" still su*k.

Comets and Majority Leaders
Space Weather News for Jan. 4, 2007: Spaceweather.com
DENVER FIREBALL: A spectacular fireball streaked over Denver, Colorado, this morning. Observers described it as "brilliant, slow, twinkling, sparkly and full of rainbow colors." Contrary to some reports, it was not a Quadrantid meteor. It was the decaying body of a Russian rocket that launched the French COROT space telescope on Dec. 27th.
Links to video and a ground track may be found here.
HOT COMET: Comet McNaught (C/2006 P1) is plunging toward the Sun. It won't hit, but at closest approach on Jan. 13th it will be much closer to the Sun than the planet Mercury. The comet will experience fierce heating and it could brighten considerably, emerging from the encounter brighter than a 1st magnitude star.
For the next few mornings, northerners can see Comet McNaught before it disappears into the Sun's glare. It's an easy target for binoculars hanging low in the eastern sky at sunrise. After Jan. 11th, only SOHO (the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory) will be able to track the comet as it angles toward the bright Sun. SOHO images are posted in near-real time on the Internet, so you can watch the comet-sun encounter and see what happens.

You know what I've been thinking about Nancy Pelosi, don't you? That she is part of the US sec progr'd Mars turning Retrograde in July 2006. Plus, if she's a comet, they don't hang out in our neighborhood for long before they've hit the bunny trail of outer space. And this morning's 'comet' over Denver was only Russian space junk. Putin? Then "Putin" was enabling a Frenchman...the COROT (hmm-m-m...insert chin stroke.)
Keeping Accounts bwo Saturn:
The 110th's swearing-in today is part of Congress' ongoing Saturn Return...
Natal Saturn 23Leo44, tr Saturn at noon today 24Leo17 Rx so it's a Return Period concerning issues of control, authority, and leadership. Saturn's timekeeper function may also cause loss, if it's time for it...loss of leaders and entertainment figures--also part of Leo's province, the stage of the world--as we've seen with President Gerald Ford's passing, and that of soulful musician James Brown.
NPR reported today that Sen Tim Johnson is still in critical condition so the balance in the Senate may be tipping toward the Rs again...in time to save George and Dick? Keep faithful guards posted at his door, I say...no monkey business or the dirtiest of tricks please.
And we hear today that White House counsel Harrriet Miers is leaving, as with JOhn Negropointe, tsk tsk. And our isolated Saturnian actor-as-leader, George Bush, is more alone than before...
"A New Day in Washington" (Reid): so we're all Shiny, Happy People?
Comparing the natal chart of Congress (Nov 17, 1800 9:30 am LMT NS) with the Noon chart for today at the Cap Bldg there are reciprocal links between Moon (the public) and happy, jovial Jupiter...tr Jupiter was conj Congress' natal Moon the 3rd week of Dec '06, and tr Moon will conjunct natal Jupiter in a couple of days--when Moon reaches 4Leo26.
Yes, Moon-Jupiter flavorings give feelings of happiness, success, contentment, religiousness; and there's possibility the judiciary will become more important (Tyl.) The word is, Opportunity, and as we know, the Dems now whooshed into office have great opportunity upon their doorstep, and the American people have one also--if it's respected and not monkeyed with by the pocket-liners-in-charge--and their enablers with the greased palms.
2006 Is Gone and Yet:
Oh--and bin L wants Rs in, not Ds. Glad someone can see a marked difference between them. WAR ESCALATION s*cks. Bad idea. We'll be sorry if we let him railroad Congress, Senate, and us (but leave me outta this) into a worse nightmare.
Globalists have their plushy hidey-holes...do you?
