To clean up those stubborn smudges on your observation equipment, try a good, non-streaking, glass cleaner.

Twisty, you write “real good”, as they say, though I disagree with almost all you say.
“Global Warming” isn’t going to kill you or your children or your grandchildren.
The Killer Katrina graphic shows up the “Climate Change” thing for what it is - just another dommsday cult.
NPR tows the corporate line? Being left of NPR qualifies for moonbat status.
The evolution / Creation “debate”? Surely evolution wins that one. Why is belief in astrology more acceptable than belief in creationism? Once agan it’s not a question of science.

Hedonistic, I agree. My true love and I amuse ourselves with daily horoscopes but do not swallow them (and no, that remark has nothing, nothing to do with blow jobs). However, just as the moon exerts force upon the tides, so it makes sense to me that big planetary/lunar/solar stuff, real and imagined, has the power to whack out tiny little organisms like us.

So I guess what I’m really saying here is that I also support your suggestion posted elsewhere to just relax and enjoy the martinis (though if you don’t mind I’ll stick to margaritas), and offer this as a particularly good excuse to do so.

Sara, I don’t take astrology as gospel but I also have noticed that the “bigger” astrological events (retrogrades, full/new moons, Saturn returns, eclipses) really DO affect people’s behavior. The daily stuff? Not so much.

KH, I understand. My true love is a certified massage practitioner (among other things) and gets crazy when people make sexual innuendo jokes about masseurs. Of course they are not talking about him or other therapists, but he worries that they don’t know that themselves, nor do their listeners. Sorry for the inadvertently hurt feelings.

Mercury is going retrograde today. This happens a few times a year for about a month at a time. It’s an optical illusion where the planet appears to be traveling backward when it’s not.

In astrology, Mercury is thought to rule communications on this planet. Whether or not astrology is real, I have observed two things to be true: that people do act all stupid and nutty and drive like shit when the moon is full — yes, more so than the rest of the time — and that that communications do tend to get wacky here on Earth when Mercury retrogrades, at least wherever I am. Both syndromes usually begin to show a few days before the actual supposedly causative event.

When Mercury is retrograde, astrologists advise us to be very patient with ourselves and each other where communications are concerned, not to sign contracts or make major, life-altering decisions, etc. People who were born while Mercury was retrograde seem to be exempt from this, and in fact seem to really come into their own during these times. The rest of us need to just cut each other and ourselves a little slack.

Having come of age (so to speak) in the 60’s, An Inconvenient Truth has a particularly nasty sense of deja vu. (It didn’t help that I saw it at Alamo South, sitting high above where the produce used to be when it was a Fiesta Market.) We were saying exactly the same thing back then, with the same data, just not as much of it. Well, we have 35 more years now, and it’s off the charts. It’s screaming off the charts, and the US still has it’s head in the sand, or rather up its butt. Lived out of the country for 2 years, and I can guarantee you that the rest of the world is 2000 times more aware of it than we are, and pissed as hell at us for having our collective head up our collective butt. It is unbelievable how insulated we are from any awareness of the rest of the world, and how egocentric we are as a nation. I used to be on a listserv with several feminist Brits, and they barely tolerated me, as anti-admin/corporatism as I am. Their perspective is that the US is pretty much where GB was as an imperialist nation just before their great fall–except this time the US will probably take the rest of the world with it… What really hurts me is that I used to like NPR, listening to Pacifica raising my kid on the coast N of San Francisco, but these days it sounds more and more like network radio–Inskeep got irritated and interrupted someone he was interviewing who was telling “an inconvenient truth” about the military in Iraq, and I’ve never heard any reporter treating a military interviewee that way. And dammit, there’s not even a hip-hop station in Austin, either! Can you believe Jerry Springer on Air America pushing the left viewpoint? ON AM-radio???? Never thought I’d see the day I’d go back to AM.

Smiler, scratch “ont” and make it “avons”.

Sara, I knew you weren’t actually referring to ME! I just felt cut a little bit because I know some people in the world think that people who volunteer are suckers/lazy/not-valuable enough to get paid/etc. Sorry.
