What brought this on was reading the transcript of Obama’s press conference last night.
It’s just stunning what a difference intelligence makes. Even if you don’t like everything a man says, if he’s obviously smart, it cuts through. At some level, a certain amount of awareness and brainpower comes to transcend ideology. What I mean is, if evolved observers from all sides stare long enough at a pile of manure in the middle of the road, most of them are going to say, “Hey, there’s a pile of manure in the road!” Anyone who says, “What’s for dinner?” you can dismiss.

And just think, that’s only politics.
Remarkable energy this day of a lunar eclipse in Leo. I was completely possessed by it, some kind of wizard trip, broke all kinds of boundaries. I even threw up. Can’t remember the last time that happened! Not going into details, no one would believe it, but no, I wasn’t drunk, and yes, I feel better now.

Atypical migraine?

I’ve been really hopeful about the possibility of change. Somehow my view got a little skewed by the “Jeppesen DataPlan Inc.” case. Behind that seemingly harmless geek name were a crew of folks charged with renditions of “terror suspects.”
NPR has an article on it http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=100497730 . The lawyers, presumably under the new admin’s influence, took the same tact used under Bush. I’m withholding judgement, choosing to view this as a transition event. It did unnerve me. The renditions were something ugly that I hoped would be strongly condemned.
still hoping;
