On October 7, 2013, Robert Reich published Their Real Goal: To Make Us All So Cynical About Government, We Give Up in which the professor explains much better than I can do what this blog has been primarily about these last 8 years. (SO’W turns 8 on October 17th!)
Guess I can hang up my blogging spurs, right? But then how will I deal with my frustration with Washington DC, my favorite city of
A Cosmic Time Link Between Government Shutdowns 1995/96 and 2013
by Jude Cowell
In a seemingly curious twist of fate, the Pre-Natal Eclipse Saros Series in which the Newt Gingrich/Republican shutdown of the US government occurred (and was meant to harm the Clinton presidency), the 16 North, repeats on November 3, 2013 with a Solar Eclipse @11Sco15.

by Jude Cowell
It’s an unfortunate synchronicity for all but the toffs among us that when the Sun hits 00Cap:00:00 on December 21, 2013, aka Winter Solstice 2013, the difficult midpoint of Saturn and Neptune (‘
During the current government shutdown, comedians are having such an easy time of it making monkeys out of looney GOP parrots who are trying to be so very clever over the Affordable Health Care Act, aka, Obamacare.
One of my concerns has been hacking and denial of service attacks against the Healthcare.gov website by POTUS’ opponents who will do whatever it takes to ruin President Obama’s
A quick post concerning the stalemates and quarrels ongoing in Washington DC over the Affordable Health Care Act (‘Obamacare’) and the soon-to-crest debt, deficit, and default clusters of chaos. Well, actually this post is more about the Secondary Progressions (SP) of the Republican Party, founded on July 6, 1854.
