Palin ready to be demi-leader of the free world?

Yes I know the 'free world' is on the endangered species list but does Sara Heath Palin look ready to be in line for the US presidency to you?

Celebrity status vs Obama's celebrity status...are they trying to make us crazy?

I blame Reagan...he started it.

Here's my post on Sara Palin's natal chart with some very interesting insights to be found in the post's comment thread.

Obama acceptance speech: text + video link

NPR has full text and video of 2008 presidential Dem nom Barack Obama's Aug 28, 2008 acceptance speech in Denver in case you've been in a cave and have managed to miss it thus far!

The page also has DNC speeches of Al Gore, John Lewis, and others.

McCain VP pick revealed on 72nd birthday

This morning the VP cat was let out of John McCain's political strategy bag with the announcement of Alaska Gov Sara Palin as his running mate.

Today we remember Hurricane Katrina with New Orleans now under threat of another storm, perhaps by Monday. I want to send out best wishes to the people of this great American city for their safety and protection in the coming days.

That we're in stormy times no one would deny, yet McCain's VP choice seems to indicate harmony as this morning's Leo Moon triggered asteroid Cupido whose keywords include:

corporations and corporatism.

Since the Moon is often used to time events in Astrology, please click above link to check out today's Moon/Cupido significance.

So it's Happy 72nd Birthday to venerable Senator John McCain! Sara Palin may turn out to be quite a gift for the GOP ticket.

Here are some notes with natal chart image on John McCain, born Aug 29, 1936 which you'll find over at Jude's Threshold.

~:~ all apologies are due! my posts on Obama's acceptance speech at last evening's DNC have had to be put into Draft mode due to Astrology software glitches plus the loss of my most recent Draft (thanks to Blogger.) Time zones switched back and forth, my animated chart feature crashed twice, and the uncorrected Draft is what I mistakenly published. Mea culpa! Seems 3 naughty monkeys were after me. Hope they stay away today...

Video Tour of Washington: Thomas Frank

Here you see Thomas Frank in his car readying to motor about and show us something of Washington DC, kind of a then and now overview.

No, it isn't often I mention books for sale on my blogs. Perhaps if I had one for sale myself, I'd get into it more.

Well, there is my children's book with Pattillo Armadillo but his ultimate destiny is on hold at the moment, he's totally unaware of America's precarious precipice, and frankly I haven't the heart to bring it up since, like most critters, he has plenty of troubles of his own these days.

Anyway, Mr. Frank, author of The Wrecking Crew, has done me some good showing my old DC stomping grounds even though viewing the video has had quite the expected effect upon my populist sensibilities because...

look what they've done to my favorite city.
