2008 Politics - Fox Official Endorsement for Hillary.
My Vote Is For Hillary. Here’s why…
We’ll get CHANGE with Hillary as well as with Obama, but I’d say Hillary’s strong point is her Experience, while Barak’s strong point is Oprah’s popularity. Now I appreciate Oprah as much as the next guy, but come on…
Our country is in big trouble. We’re in a war that doesn’t make sense. Our economy is screwed - and that’s an under-statement. Our dollar is so perversely undervalued that we dare not take our annual trip to Europe this year. I mean, even the Taj Mahal won’t accept our dollar - that’s how sad that is! We’ve been lied to by the government agencies that are in power - the presidency has taken czarist powers over the people.
We are a nation force-fed fear and hatred - each dealing with some degree of post-traumatic stress syndrome. You see it on our freeways, in our schools, in the tabloids, and at our borders.
The choices have come down to Obama, Clinton, John, and Mike. Here is how I feel about these choices, scariest to least scary…
-
John McCain - Oh my God. When I hear that man speak I have to hold back wet heaves. A vote for him is a vote for another 100 years in Iraq! Can you believe he actually said that!!!??? Sorry, but that is just plain ignorant. He may have been a great warrior back in the days when war was a “necessary” evil, but in today’s world where technology enables infinite possibilities for diplomatic solutions, he’s a dinosaur looking for fresh blood. Like a scratched up Beatles record, he’s stuck in the 60’s. I’m sure he’s a good man at heart (even though he has a maniacal rude steak in him - refusing eye contact with/sneering at Mitt Romney during the debates was pretty hateful.) I’d say volunteering for patient advocacy at a Veterans Hospital would be a good fit for him - NOT the Presidency.
-
Barak Obama - The word “Plagiarism” comes to mind. Anyone who has studied Bill Clinton’s speaking mannerisms can see that so has Obama. I’m willing to bet he has a video library filled with Bill giving speeches. He tries so very hard to be the former president, it’s kind of offensive. Other than that, and the fact that he does steal speech ideas from other politicians - I think when he finally grows up and gets comfortable with his own authentic style, he will make a fine president . However, at this time he is way too green to fill the Presidential shoes. Especially, in these extreme low times we find ourselves in. People, please wake up. We all want CHANGE, but we have to be thoughtful about it. The pendulum has destructively swung far to the right and we want CHANGE, I know, but is it righting the wrong to swing the pendulum all the way to the other extreme?? It never is. We need to get balanced. Back to balance should be the keyword of this election. We’ll get CHANGE with Hillary as well as with Obama, but I’d say Hillary’s strong point is her Experience, while Barak’s strong point is Oprah’s popularity. Now I love Oprah as much as the next guy, but come on… I also really hate that his wife is clearly an idiot: “For the first time I am finally proud of this country…” What the fuck???? What does she say about us behind our backs? Her true colors have been revealed. She is as much an asset to Obama as was John Kerry’s moronic wife.
-
Mike Huckabee - The guy is adorable, lovable, electable, real. I like Huckabee, too bad he’s had a slow comeuppance. I’d vote for him if I were republican. What are republicans thinking to vote McCain over Huckabee. Frightening to think that with everything that’s come out unjustifying the war on terror there are still so many war-mongers out there.
-
Hillary Clinton - I’m willing to bet that the people standing for Hillary are people who’ve watched and listened to the debates. I know this has to be true because Hillary’s plans, strengths, and wisdom far outweigh Obama’s stammering and circle-runarounds. Shit, I know people are voting for Obama because Oprah told her followers to vote for him and they are faithfully doing so. Look, I don’t think the country will go to hell in a handbasket if Obama wins, but it will be a much slower pace of healing our country than if Hillary wins. Let’s face facts, I have no problem with seeing Bill in the White House again. You see, when Bill was president, life was good. Damned good. Business was thriving - everyone’s phones were ringing off their hooks…Everyone had a hearty savings account, people made their mortgage payments on time, people were friendlier, freeways were cleaner, less road rage…Well, I don’t have the facts on those things but I do recall life seemed more secure. I, for one, don’t think 911 would’ve happened during Bill’s watch because the world LIKED us. Did foreign countrymen protest when Bill went to visit? No. They threw festivals. Hillary has good ideas, solid experience for making positive changes, and a husband who was one of the best Presidents we ever had as an asset. What could be better! As they say, “Two heads are better than one.” Seriously, time are really bad, and we need strong, courageous, proven leadership. I love Oprah - but I am not part of the Oprah herd. I think with my own brain. Make sure you do too.

Russian Mayor Enacts Law of Attraction By Banning Bureaucratic Irresponsibility…Luv it!
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070904/ap_on_re_as/russia_word_ban
MOSCOW - The mayor of a Siberian oil town has ordered his bureaucrats to stop using expressions such as “I don’t know” and “I can’t.” Or look for another job.
Alexander Kuzmin, the 33-year-old mayor of Megion, has banned these and 25 other phrases as a way to make his administration more efficient, his spokeswoman said Tuesday.
“It’s a suggestion to the staff that they should think before saying something,” Oksana Shestakova said by telephone. “To say `I don’t know’ is the same as admitting your helplessness.”
To reinforce the ban, a framed list of the banned expressions has been hanging on the wall next to Kuzmin’s office for the past two weeks, Shestakova said.
Some of the other prohibited phrases are “What can we do?” “It’s not my job,” “It’s impossible,” “I’m having lunch,” “There is no money,” and “I was away/sick/on vacation.”
Kuzmin, a businessman who was elected mayor 1 1/2 years ago, wants to “shake things up” in Megion, a town of 54,000 in the Khanty-Mansiisk region, the spokeswoman said.
The region, located some 1,500 miles northeast of Moscow, produces more oil than the rest of Russia combined. As world oil prices have risen sharply in recent years, the region has flourished, and in stark contrast to the rest of the country its population has grown at the rapid rate of more than 7 percent annually.
But construction has not kept pace, and the lack of adequate housing is one of the town’s most serious problems, Shestakova said.
“Town authorities are there to make town residents’ life comfortable and prosperous,” Kuzmin, a trained oil engineer who studied business administration in Canada, said in a statement posted on the town Web site. “Town officials must work out mechanisms to solve and remove problems, not to avoid them.”
Officials who disobey the ban while in the mayor’s office “will near the moment of their departure,” the statement said.
Providing the mayor with wrong or incomplete information, or being late in reporting important information will be considered an attempt to undermine his work, it said.
Anna Borovikova, the mayor’s chief of staff, said the novel approach has improved discipline.
“Before, it was so easy to say `I don’t know.’ Now before reporting to the mayor we prepare several proposals on how one or another problem can be solved,” Borovikova said.
At first it was hard to remember not to use the banned expressions, she said, and they “slipped in sometimes.”
Was she Bill Clinton’s wife before Hillary?
I watched an odd movie the other day - well part of it anyway. I don’t recall the title but it was about a girl who felt a soul connection with a local rock star, and she said things like, “He’s singing in code to me…” and then she etched his name into her forehead, but backwards because she was looking onto a mirror at the time.It reminded me of things I had read about Elvis fans. Some of these women said they felt a connection with Elvis, as if he were singing right to them. I have a friend who swears that since childhood she’s had dreams of herself running through a forest with a dark-haired boy of the same age who she is convinced is U2 lead singer, Bono. She says she recognized him instantly the first time she saw him, as the boy in her dreams. She’s no stalker, but has gone to a concert or two. And she doesn’t write him fan mail or anything. She just quietly enjoys his music, and is actually in a happy relationship with her boyfriend. She has no expectations, or explanations. It just is what it is - a dream of her running with Bono, and I think it might be a past life connection or something.I had a woman come to me for a past life regression. We found out she’d been a jazz singer in Paris - early 1900’s. In her regression she said to me, “The guy playing saxophone is very familiar to me…as if I know him…” Then she said, “It’s Bill Clinton.”
In that past life, she said, they’d had an affair - she and the sax player - and she’d gotten pregnant. He wasn’t exactly happy about it, but married her. It was weird because later Mr. Clinton confessed to having had an affair with Jennifer Flowers who was a jazz singer! Also interesting, the lady who had the past life was dark-haired and rather plus-sized. Bill Clinton later had an affair with Monica, who was also a dark-haired, plus sized gal.
Sorry Hillary - but my client said she felt they were soul-mates. Of course, we can have several soul-mates, they say.
My point is…if there are past lives, whose to say the girl down the street working as a waitress in a diner wasn’t carrying on a passionate affair with Brad Pitt 200 years ago in Rome, and feels a connection with him for a reason!
That’s what I think - it’s all not only possible, but probable.
Till later!

Mars-As-Big-As-Full-Moon Hoax 2007
See Snopes for the info about it at http://www.snopes.com/science/mars.asp
Actually, Moon will be in Capricorn and Mars will be Taurus on Aug 27, 2007.
The true event on the 27th this year is that Venus turns Retrograde in Virgo and will turn direct again September 8 in PDT in Leo. (She spends about three weeks in a sign.)
The hoax going around reads:
“On August 27, 2007 two Moons will rise in the
midnight sky, and the whole World will be waiting
for this once in many a lifetime spectacular event.
Starting in August, the planet Mars will be the
brightest object in the night sky. It will look as
large as a full Moon to the naked eye. This will culminate on August 27th, when Mars comes
within 34.65 million miles of Earth.
So, be sure to watch the sky on August 27th from midnight to 12:30AM. It will look like the
Earth has two Moons.
The next time Mars comes this much close will
be in the year 2287.”
To George Noury: Regarding Ouija Board Experiment
The question to you George Noury is should you, or shouldn’t you? Let me give my readers a little background for those of them who don’t know what I’m talking about. You readers being here at this site implies you have an interest in things spiritual, and supernatural. If you ask “who is George Noury,” then you, friend, have been missing out. George hosts a nighttime AM radio show (formerly hosted by Art Bell) which covers such topics as shamanism, ghosts, evps and hauntings, numerology, witchcraft, UFOs, conspiracy theories, and the like.On next Wednesday’s show George will work a Ouija Board. He is surrounding himself with positive energy type people that, he is convinced, will act as a shield from any bad spirits. Lately he has been questioning whether this whole Ouija thing is a good idea or a bad one. He realizes that many of his listeners will bring out their Ouijas to play along with him, and that even though HE feels protected, THEY may be subject to bad experiences.
Here is what I am afraid of. We’ve all heard of the research done with the power of prayer, where it’s been proven that people being prayed for recover from surgeries, and illness better than people who aren’t prayed for. One thing that George and Art Bell often discuss is the power of mass consciousness. In fact, Art did a show where he and his audience prayed for rain for a draught-ridden Texas, and the next thing they knew Texas was being inundated with floods and storm damage.
Well, if the power of mass consciousness can do that, what if thousands of people are using Ouija boards at the same time? Can they unleash a hurricane of demon energy upon the earth? Will they awaken a myriad of sleeping evils that are better left unbothered?
I believe that there is demon energy all around us, but at the same time there is angelic energy as well. There are probably struggles between good and evil all the time, all around us. So while even if the demons are awakened and called forth, I believe there are angels around that will fight for our protection. But I also believe there are some people that are like sponges for evil - such as drug addicts, alcoholics, sex addicts, people abusers, animal abusers, and people like these - that absorb evil more readily.
There is a huge possibility that the unleashing of all these malicious energies can cause people with mental disorders to be more afflicted, and people with bad thoughts to act upon those bad thoughts more readily. There is immense potential here for bringing upon the world more danger, more inhumanity, more fear.
When I first started writing this I was actually in favor of the Ouija board experiment..now I’d have to say I’ve changed my own mind. Don’t do it, George. We have enough trouble in this world. Let’s focus on the potential of good, and not taunt the demons. I say, let sleeping malignant energies lie.
Ghost Hunting at Haven Bakery
I got to go on an interesting ghost hunt a couple of nights ago, to a very scary place. A group of my boyfriend’s college mates invited my boyfriend to go with them to a haunted house, and I asked to tag along. We pulled into the vegetation shrouded driveway at around midnight. An old, faded, partially-hidden-by-trees, huge business sign stood high on our left. It said rather happily, Welcome to Haven Restaurant and Bakery. We were in the right place.
Even though there is a huge iron fence blocking public entrance, there is a secret way in. Once we were inside, an amazing two-story structure loomed before us, about 100 ft up the drive. In the dark (you know that midnight kind of dark), it reminded me of an old cotton plantation mansion. Dilapidated, of course. Like the one in the movie, Fletch Lives, but with broken out windows, and broken down walls. Up the road another 200 ft or so is a house, I am told, where a former owner lived. Also there is a barn on the property. I saw neither the barn nor the house, and to be honest, I didn’t want to that night. I was creeped out enough.
The vegetation skirting the grounds was thick, and jungly. To the right, somewhere inside all the greenery, a rushing brook could be heard. The sound of croaking frogs was deafening, until they stopped and left an eerie silence - but that was later. To the right of the Bakery are public restrooms, very much like they’d have in a park, or at the beach. It made me think that at one time the Haven Restaurant and Bakery must have been an incredibly beautiful, charming, refreshing place to come for an outdoor or indoor brunch. I imagined outdoor seating, possibly with umbrellas, and cute little bistro tables and chairs. People would sit out there, by the bubbling brook, eating their fresh hot scones, and just-baked-this-morning Danishes, and drink hot chocolate or just-brewed coffee. Kids would be running around in their Sunday best - little girls with Shirley temple curls, and lacy dresses.
We went inside the Bakery and took a look. Interestingly, the old bakery stove is still there, as is an authentic stainless steel bakery rack. I didn’t look closely, but I’ll bet there are lots of telltale signs of a sudden departure, and no one eager to reclaim property from there. I heard tell one girl found a teddy bear there which belonged to the daughter of the previous owner. I also heard rumor that there was a table there with blood on it - never wiped off.
There happened to be present another ghost-seeking group at the same time we were there. One of their bunch, a pleasant young man came to share with us of another nearby haunt. He seemed well-versed on the goings on in the area, so I asked him what the story was about The Haven Bakery and Restaurant.
He told us that a former owner had lived there with his small daughter. They ran the restaurant, a busy establishment, and were happy as jays. One day the owner had to go out of town for business. He left his daughter in the care of one of his employees. Unfortunately, while dad was gone, young daughter went down into the basement and somehow, I think accidentally, ended up hanging herself, and dying. When dad came home and heard about his dead child he went insane with grief, and rage. He went into the restaurant and killed several employees and customers. Then he stacked the bodies in the same restrooms I mentioned a few moments earlier. He then went into his house, and hung himself dead. It is said that the hook he hung from is still exactly where it was - in the living room I believe.
I don’t know if it’s true. I intend on going to the local area library and finding out if such a massacre really took place in that out-in-the-country community. I did feel the place was eerie and probably haunted. One of the guys we were with said his friend had felt someone touch him on the back while going up the stairs…and another girl had fallen into the basement - was pushed is more like it - and immediately was attacked by a wire that started wrapping itself around her legs…I have read that the hanging girl’s apparition can be seen in the basement. As well as the father, and other figures hanging around the place.
Me, myself? While standing in one of the rooms (which struck me right off as being one of the creepiest) I was suddenly covered with gooseflesh, while a chill ran up my spine. At that exact moment the frogs stopped croaking and someone said, ”It’s not a good sign when the frogs go quiet like that.”
We didn’t stay long, about an hour, but I would love to go back and do photos, and recordings. After I visit the library though. Regardless, I feel something IS there. That’s all for now.
Till later - happy hauntings!

Oprah On Tainted Pet Foods
I only got to watch like the last fifteen minutes or so of Oprah yesterday, but I’m glad I caught that much - though yes, I wish I’d gotten home in time to see the entire show. It was on dogs.
I didn’t know this until yesterday, but apparently her pretty girl Sophie has been diagnosed with kidney failure, and my heart and prayers go out for her. And I have to wonder, with kidney failure being the ultimate effect of these poisonous pet foods, whether it has anything to do with Sophie’s condition. Oprah didn’t specify the cause, but she proceeded to have a pet health expert, Dr. Marty Goldstein, address how to safely feed our doggy-babes in this time of commercial food crisis.
Sophie is under the care of Dr. Goldstein, and he said that dogs need meat, cooked or raw, because they are carnivores. Oprah showed us exactly what she feeds her canine-kids. In a bowl she put cooked lamb, brown rice, chopped cooked potatoes, and carrots. Then she proceeded to stick her hand in the mixture and mash up the potato! You gotta love it! I’m sure her pups do. Oprah alternates the lamb with chicken or beef.
So there you have it. Table scraps, table scraps, table scraps. It’s what I’ve been saying all along. Ban commercial pet foods and especially Menu Foods, until they get their shit together, and somehow make restitution for all the pain and suffering they’ve caused. In the meantime, set a placemat under the table for Fifi. Maybe even a permanent placemat.
To visit Dr. Marty Goldstein’s website: www.drmarty.com
God bless us all.
