Astrological Musings

There are a lot of things you can learn in the astrological world, but keeping track of basic Western astrology is about as much as I can manage. Still, synchronicity is at work everywhere, and Chinese astrology probably is just as valid so I thought I’d see what kinds of predictions I could find for…

Quite a few of you have written asking me to give an update on Britney Spears, which you can find at the National Ledger. Britney is going through some difficult planetary cycles, but they are no more intense than the ones you and I go through on a regular basis. When the identity is not…

A new day is dawning… We have been engulfed by the politics of fear for too long, where 9/11 was used as a way to scare up votes instead of a way to bring us together around a common purpose to defeat a common enemy. People say, “He’s so idealistic, he’s so naitve…he’s a hopemonger.”…

I can’t even believe this is happening: A state lawmaker wants to ban restaurants from serving food to obese customers — but please, don’t be offended.
