Sarah Silverman, the outrageous but adorable comic star of Comedy Central’s “The Sarah Silverman Program,” has been canned from that network.  The Guardian calls Silverman “the most taboo-breaking comedian working in America today.” The cancellation comes on the heels of a fiasco on the TED internet network in which she did a comedy piece on adopting a…

Yesterday this blog reached a landmark:  two million page views since 2005.  I want to thank all of my readers, especially the ones who have stuck with me year after year, through interesting times and not-so-interesting times, for the inspiration to keep coming up with articles that are worth reading.

Uranus brings surprising events, and as Jupiter is nearing a conjunction to Uranus we see this news: Jupiter has lost one of its prominent stripes, leaving its southern half looking unusually blank.

Uranus is the planet that takes a radical departure from the conventional, but it also rules the higher mind…

In a classic Mercury retrograde…

Mercury has slowed down to a crawl as it prepares to change direction tomorrow, so don’t be surprised if business matters or travel plans are stalled today.  It will take Mercury a few days to begin traveling at a normal speed (this is called the “shadow” period of the retrograde phase) but after Tuesday  the…
