Such great news!
BBC Reporter Freed! and had it been a few days ago you could almost relate it to the US-Iranian hostage crisis when Carter did the work and Reagan took the credit. Talk about political opportunism...oh wait...that's what we do 24 hours a day now.
Congratulations to Mr. Johnston and his family and friends!
It will be a rare pleasure to take the Free Alan Johnston button off this blog.
Happy Independence Day, Everyone!

Bush, Bush, and Putin: Lobster Partay!
Bush, Putin to Share Break from Tensions says HuffPost...or are they rehearsing their next big scene with Poppy-B holding the cue cards?
Lobsters of Kennebunkport watch out!!! For two of the most ruthless critters crawling the globe are in your neighborhood this weekend--and Putin is a frighteningly devilish cuss too!
UPDATE Monday: the result? Putin catches fish, pancakes on the griddle but disagreements as their sauce.

Venus and Saturn: get your 'scopes!
Space Weather News for June 29, 2007:
VENUS & SATURN: Saturn and Venus are converging in the sunset sky for a beautiful close encounter this weekend. At closest approach on Saturday, June 30th, the two planets will be a mere 2/3rds of a degree apart. It's a pretty sight for the unaided eye, and a great target for backyard telescopes. Even small 'scopes will reveal the rings of Saturn and the crescent shape of Venus.
Check SpaceWeather.com for sky maps and more information.
FIRST LIGHT FOR AIM: NASA's AIM spacecraft is sending back its first pictures of noctilucent clouds from Earth orbit. The clouds photographed by AIM have the same intricate structure and electric-blue glow familiar to sky watchers on Earth, but the panoramic view afforded by the spacecraft's 600 km high orbit is unlike anything we've seen before.
Check today's edition of SpaceWeather.com for one of AIM's first light images plus an updated gallery of ground-based sightings.#
Woo!

on Gordon Brown
AstroDataBank has a great feature on Gordon Brown's natal chart
(born Feb 20, 1951, 8:40 am GMT, Giffnock, Scotland.)
Mr. Brown is a 12th house kind of guy--aka a politician--whose tenure has begun with a car packed with explosives and nails...defused.
No time this morning to post on him but his Image for Integration (Sun Pisces-Moon Leo) sounds about right after so many years in waiting for his moment to arrive:
Cinderella sits by the fire mending her ballgown and daydreaming about her romantic evening of dance, glamour, and high drama.

Teddy Roosevelt and the invisible government
"Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this invisible government, to befoul the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of the day."
Theodore Roosevelt, April 19, 1906
Born in New York, Oct 27, 1858, this Roosevelt has the "mailed fist in a velvet glove" combo of Sun Scorpio-Moon Cancer. Very intuitive with a strong sense of duty, the weakness is letting subjective hunches replace objective reasoning (sounds like Bush and Cheney.)
This blend's Images for Integration are:
A mother eagle defends her babies with immense courage...A surgeon develops life-saving methods...A mother passionately defends her delinquent child and pleads for a compassionate verdict (Sun Sign-Moon Sign, Chas & Suzy Harvey.)
This personality blend is shared natally with Dan Rather, humorist Will Rogers, and Tatum O'Neill.
Here's another Teddy quote--perhaps the one he's most remembered for:
"There is a homely adage which runs, 'Speak softly and carry a big stick, you will go far'."
Guess Cheney speaks softly enough--it's where and how to use the big stick that he's confused about. But most people know where he should put it.
