Francis Bacon, Uranus/Neptune, and Pluto
If you like to read about America’s founding, Rosicrucianism, Freemasonry, and other such mystical topics, you may be interested in a discovery I’ve just made of a site that has so many links and articles to check out, I’m just getting started.

Newt Gingrich then and now: (im) peaches and tea
Newt Gingrich last won political office so long ago the chads have whiskers.And though he’s up to something GOP-ish with the big corporation Koch Brothers funded Tea Party movement, this article comparing him in his political heyday (think ‘impeach Clinton’) to his current machinations leaves me sputteringly speechless. Almost.As I like to remind people whenever necessary: Mr. Gingrich is not

No Astrology this morning, just a link to one of the best Simon Says features I’ve heard NPR Weekend Edition’s Scott Simon deliver in a long time.

Opinions: Obama’s ‘end of combat ops in Iraq’ speech
It was quite a dizzying tightrope he walked and perhaps President Obama’s multi-messaged speech with two-directional, murky Pisces Rising concerning the ‘ending of combat operations in Iraq’ didn’t go over very well among his more discriminating listeners. Here’s an article round-up of opinions for you including mention of one of my favorite topics when it comes to the US government – Orwellian
‘Stuff Alan Simpson Says’ about Social Security
From Daily Kos comes an email with a link to Stuff Alan Simpson Says in an attempt to keep Social Security cuts from beggaring the Americans who depend on it. Those with higher incomes and exalted positions are apparently blinded from appreciating the 1935 SS program’s benefit to society as a whole which keeps Americans from having to live out of shopping bags on street corners (and goodness

‘To abolish poverty, abolish plutocracy’ (Rutherford B. Hayes)
Here’s the rest of the above quote from our 19th President Rutherford B. Hayes (1822 – 1893) but I wonder which modern day Republicans (or Democrats) would like to hear it much less implement it. For then their over-stuffed gravy train would have to be brought to a screeching halt instead of honest people’s incomes dissolving into thin air:"Abolish plutocracy if you would abolish poverty. As
