Bush loopholes executive pay in Bailout Bill

Funny Story...turns out that corporate CEOs' Golden Parachutes and outrageous paychecks are protected with an executive pay loophole inserted at the eleventh hour by the Bush administration which probably knew all along that Bailout Bill monies would not be gifted in this massive heist by way of 'auctions.'

Scoundrels and thieves! Makes me want to take off my shoes and lob away.

Muntather Al Zaidi praised

In Praise Of Muntather Al Zaidi

By Layla Anwar

Whilst Bush waspontificating from his ass, Muntather Al-Zaidi, a 28 years old journalist, a leftist, from the independent anti-occupation, anti-sectarian TV, Al-Baghdadia, stood up and threw not one shoe but TWO pair of shoes at Bush, calling him at the top of his voice YA KALB - YOU DOG.

And so many of the US mainstream media have opined over Bush's 'leg-acy' - they just didn't know it would have a shoe on it and be barking.

Couldn't resist! Here's the YouTube video of Bush in Iraq Sunday as an Iraqi journalist throws both his shoes at Bush's thick head.

Winter Solstice 2008 chart now posted

Almost belatedly (with only a week to spare), my article on Winter Solstice 2008 has been published with chart at Jude's Threshold, fyi.

Asteroid Astraea's 'law and justice' rises and there's a T-Square involving the still-in-orb opposition of traditional Saturn and progressive Uranus.

Mercury and Mars are both out-of-bounds of the earthly plane and working without interference from other planetary energies, except that Mercury in Capricorn is in mutual reception with Saturn in Virgo, so perhaps their collaboration is hidden from view.

Set for the White House, Dec 21, 2008, the Libran Moon is in 10th house, US natal Saturn in Libra is at Midheaven, and Sun 00Cap00:00 conjuncts powerful Pluto and asteroid, Atlantis, so check it out, if you'd care to have a go - and please feel free to leave comments if you'd like.

Chertoff Chronicles 12.13.08

This just in from SO'W's So I'm Told Department:

Michael Chertoff employs illegal workers in his home! Quite a guffaw for the head of the Department of Homeland Security, ya think? Such a big glaring Oops! Or maybe it's more of a law breaking situation.

They give citations for that, don't they? Perhaps Bush will pardon him under the blanket.

Well, here are a few notes on Chertoff's natal chart if you're game.

It's written in English so you don't have to speak Astrologese to find out about the guy. And it's all quite legal. Really.
