CNN Mocks Astrologer by Chris Brennan

Chris writes:

“I’ve been getting the vibe over the past few months that CNN isn’t very keen on astrology. It has almost become a regular occurrence at this point that every few months there will be some sort of snarky headline about astrology on the front page of their website. I guess that I’m not really particularly shocked at this point, but some of the digs that they make are still kind of lame…”

Doomsday Warning From the Heavens

“As if there weren’t enough economic and stock market bears around, we’ve got some new ones — the moon, the sun, and the stars…”

Saturn (restricts) speech (Virgo). This is pretty much incomprehensible to me but it’s passed in Boulder, CO.

Hate hotline puts speech on hold

David Harsanyi writes:

“There’s a famous joke that goes like this:

Tuesday, the Boulder City Council will take up the matter of allocating public funding for a “hate hotline,” which would give residents an opportunity to report incidents in which Boulderites use tactless language…”

Tomatoes not alone on FDA’s radar

“As salmonella cases continue to climb, the government is investigating whether tainted tomatoes really are to blame for the record outbreak — or if the problem is with another ingredient or a warehouse that is contaminating newly harvested tomatoes…”

There was been an outbreak of salmonella in the US, starting in April. It has been attributed to fresh tomatoes which were of course pulled from all the grocery store shelves. Interested in this sort of thing, I followed the story.

The tomato industry has been devastated of course. The way things happen to inanimate objects (like tomatoes) is exactly the way things happen to people. One day you’re fine, business a usual, the next day you’re in a crisis with no idea when it will end.

To be honest, I don’t enjoy that other people ask my opinion much…

joana, I think people don’t ask others opinions because there are so many opinions out there these days! There has been a lot of energy in Sagittarius over these last years and just look at the explosion in publishing (BLOGS)! I think this is going to shift now. People will start to filter what they read. Quality over quantity, they will discriminate!

For example, we had a freak tornado in Colorado yesterday so I check the weather today and there is a big article about how we could all die from weather. If you pay attention, the article states clearly the weather system has moved out into other states but this does not stop them from writing a provocative title. It’s like they are in the news and want to stay there!

Personally, I have given up all gossip since Saturn went into Virgo. I just don’t have the time for that sort of low (no) reward type reading and what I am getting at is this:

Thoughtful people with something of substance to say are coming into style. Flash and trash – uh uh. Give us something useful, dammit! It does not help me to look at Paris Hilton’s clothes.

Are you filtering what you read these days?

DC Madam: A Bloody Raw Deal

The DC Madame was our client.

Le Baraquel (a pseudonym) and I agreed to help out “pro bono” but had deep worries in working with this chart, and today’s reported suicide leaves us grieved, saddened for this dainty sort of person whose privacy mattered more than her reputation and life.

While Le Baraquel consulted her by Skype from Asia, I had her as a guest for dinner and a chart reading, and found her to have a head slightly in a fantasy-land, and I guess if you are waiting for the government to release your several millions in property holdings, you would stay in dreamland too, for as long as the situation was undecided.

I clicked on Drudge and saw the DC Madam had committed suicide. I know for a fact that astrologer, Claire-France Perez knows her and thought to call her when the news broke but figured others would be doing the same thing so I waited a few hours.

But when I read she killed herself in a shed I just shook my head. A shed? A shed!!!!

I am sorry by my Italian-ness and my criminal mind thinks that is ridiculous. Upscale this and that do not kill themselves in sheds for Godsakes! I called cf.

I asked her if she thought this woman the type to kill herself – Claire-France had actually warned her of danger due the retrograde Mars (and told me the same some months ago on the phone).

As far as I am concerned the shed part of this equation is a clear communication. Claire-France is going to write about this for my blog – Stay tuned.

Here’s Mars in Cancer square all the Aries out in the world. Commerce City is the industrial side of Denver CO, home of the whore truck stop.

“I heard on the news this couple in Commerce City got arrested, P. They were arguing in public over which gang their kid should belong to when they grew up. They had a baby I guess and they were fighting it out and someone called the police who took them away.”

“Hmm.”

“Yeah, can you imagine? Which gang should your kid be allowed to join? What have we come to? I’d I was there, I’d have gotten right in on the fight. Know what I’d have said?

“What?”

“I’d have yelled out, APPLE DUMPLING GANG! PUT HIM IN THE APPLE DUMPLING GANG!”

::snort::

I was talking to the soldier the other day or rather he was talking to me about politics and he asked what I thought about something.”I don’t know. I don’t think about that stuff at all. I don’t listen to any of it, I don’t think it matters.”

Silence.

“Well I don’t. I don’t care what Obama said. I don’t care what Hilary thought or what some talking head is saying on the news tonight. I don’t track any of that; I don’t think it’s real. Do you think it’s real?”

No answer.

“Look, I’m sorry. I know you watch this stuff like a hawk but I do not. I watch things that are real. I watch the dollar for example. I watch the price of gold. I watch the price of oil for Godsakes! I see it’s going to break $100 a barrel and that’s supposed to be a big deal? Well now it’s at $112 and I know the effects of this first hand. I worked for Frito Lay for years. I know what happens when the price of gas goes up. I told you I saw 12 flour tortillas priced at $4.65 in the store last week. How are people supposed to pay $5 for a stack of flour and water? Tortillas are poverty food! People are going to get to the store and find they can’t afford to buy food. Now that is real and what some guy on CNN is saying to fill up air time is of no consequence whatsoever as far as I am concerned. How long can we stay in denial? Forever? Somehow I don’t think so.”

If you’re the type to pay attention, what do you track as indicators of where we are headed?

Wonder if this is going to catch on…

Truckers ‘going broke’ and threatening to strike

“What started as a small, online grassroots effort now appears to have the potential for something bigger.

Dan Little, the owner/operator of a livestock hauling company in Carrollton, Mo., estimated Tuesday that at least 1,000 other truckers from across the United States have committed so far to joining him in a strike on April 1…”

There is actually a pretty good chance of this happening. The writers (Virgo) stopped work (Saturn) didn’t they? Why not the people who transport… everything?
