Now you know that Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder is under fire from Republicans over the Fast and Furious fiasco, a Mars-themed project of misbegotten proportions.
Taking a peek at Atty Gen Holder’s natal planets to see if current planetary transits are creating upsetting contacts with his natal planets, we see that tr Mars approaches Holder’s natal South Node (SN @20Vir07), a point of
The Power Desires of Obama and Romney
by Jude Cowell
It is my personal conclusion that America’s obsession with Sun-Pluto power issues and control makes the use of fear as a tool against the populace easy to latch on to for the US natal horoscope shows an obsessive-compulsive-don’t-know-when-to-quit Sun-Pluto quindecile aspect (165 degrees) between the executive (Sun) and power (Pluto.) Other
On June 20, 2012 the Sun reaches 00Can00:00 and summer begins in our hemisphere. The Moon at that precise moment will position at 15Can so we have a Sun Can-Moon Can flavor for the season with the Moon ruling over all from its own sign of Cancer–home, domestic scene, family, security needs, real estate, shrewdness in business, protection, and a range of every emotion. And since the astrological
On June 7, 2012, my favorite senator, Vermont’s Bernie Sanders, lightly yet pointedly grilled Fedhead Ben Bernanke and their exchange included cooperation on foxes such as JP Morgan’s Jamie Dimon guarding the US henhouse and banks too big for America’s own good. Well, I truly hope improvement for the American people comes from Senator Sanders’ proposed legislation yet I have my doubts:

Update June 8, 2012 2:00 pm edt: my previous post this morning as President Obama began speaking at or about 10:15 am edt on the US economy mentions Mr. Obama’s natal Neptune (8Sco36 in n 9th H) at the IC (Foundation; Basis) of the horoscope and thus of his speech.

Upton Sinclair 1934 and Greg Mitchell 2012
by Jude Cowell
Yes, Republicans have been attempting to ‘roll back New Deal programs’ since FDR set them up in the 1930s and it seems that he was inspired by Upton Sinclair’s EPIC efforts in California (kind of like Obamacare being inspired by Mitt Romney’s healthcare program when he was governor of Massachusetts!) Turns out the year 1934 is

Having much respect for the journalistic work and integrity of Amy Goodman of Democracy Now!, I am pleased to bring you her June 6, 2012 interview with economist Joseph Stiglitz in which topics included in his book The Price of Inequality: How Today’s Divided Society Endangers Our Future are discussed.

This entry is actually an Update to last night’s post on Gov. Scott Walker avoiding recall in Wisconsin yesterday. Yes, Walker somehow managed (infusion of big money from out-of-state; robo-calls sent out in Wisconsin yesterday saying that if you signed the recall petition, you don’t have to vote!) to stay in office.
However, Wisconsin Democrats have flipped the balance in the state senate and
