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.
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!

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.

God bless us all.
China Intentionally Taints Pet Food? Creepy.
The latest news on the tainted pet food issue warns that the poisonous tainting may have been intentional. Not only that! But it may be working it’s way into human food supply! In California, state agriculture officials placed a hog farm under quarantine after melamine (the pet food poison) was found in pig urine there. Additional testing was under way to determine whether the chemical was present in the meat produced by American Hog Farm in Ceres since April 3, the state Department of Food and Agriculture said. So far, melamine’s been found in both wheat gluten and rice protein concentrate imported from China. Media reports from South Africa suggest a third pet food ingredient, corn gluten, used in that country also was contaminated with melamine. That tainted ingredient has not been found in the United States, the FDA said. We are to expect further pet food recalls. http://news.aol.com/topnews/articles/_a/pet-food-may-have-been-intentionally/20070412155809990001?ncid=NWS00010000000001
On a personal note, I’ve quit feeding my precious Maltese commercial dog food and treats. The whole tainted dog food issue is getting bigger by the minute, and I will not take any chances with the health of my canine-son. He who makes a fiesta of my coming home every evening. He who is but a bundle of unconditional love and joy. He who is the cutest, cuddliest little doll! His vet told me I could feed him chicken and rice, hamburger and rice, cottage cheese and rice, foods like that. I just have to avoid letting him eat onion, chocolate, grapes, and…something else, I can’t recall right now. Years ago people didn’t even buy special dog food for their dogs, they simply ate scraps. We had a Cockapoo who from day one ate whatever we had for dinner, and he lived a very healthy life until he passed at almost seventeen years old. There are websites with pet food recipes, for meals and treats - for cats and dogs. One of my clients even found a nice recipe for a doggy birthday cake that she made for her spaniel baby’s birthday party! Take care of yourselves and your critter-kids!

Latest on Menu Foods Tainted Dog Food
I am so sad to report the latest I have been reading about the REAL number of cats and dogs that have been affected by this tainted dog food. Menu foods, in their “precautionary recall” report 16 deaths, but according to the latest news reports there may be many, many more.
I have two beloved dogs and I am just horrified at thinking I could’ve fed them RAT POISON tainted dog food - which is possible because I buy their food from Walmart. Fortunately, I generally give them DRY food, which hasn’t been affected. (Menu Foods doesn’t do dry pet food.)
The following is an excerpt, but you can read the entire article by clicking the link below.
“…There are still questions about how many animals have died. With no national reporting system for animal injury or death, official numbers are impossible to come by.
However, data from the nation’s largest chain of pet hospitals, Banfield, suggest it is as high as hundreds a week during the three months the food was on the market.
During that time, the more than 600 Banfield hospitals in 43 states saw 200 to 250 cases of kidney failure in cats above the usual number that would have been expected, says Hugh Lewis, president of Data Savant, Banfield’s data collection arm.
During that period, Banfield vets saw 100,000 cats. Extrapolating to the entire cat population of the USA, that could mean “we’re probably talking several hundred cats a week across the country being affected,” Lewis says.
Another possible indicator is a database compiled by PetConnection.com. As of Sunday, owners reported 1,626 deceased pets - 941 cats and 685 dogs, says Gina Spadafori, one of the website’s writers.
She cautions that those figures were self-reported by pet owners and had not been confirmed by veterinarians. Menu Foods said on Friday it would compensate owners for their pets’ medical bills.
“To the extent that we identify that the cause of any expenses incurred are related to the food, Menu will take responsibility for that,” said Menu Foods chief executive Paul Henderson.
Despite some complaints by pet owners that animals have been sickened or died after eating dry food, FDA does not believe any dry food was involved in the contamination. Menu does not make dry pet food. “

Oprah’s The Secret Follow-Up Show
I don’t know how many of you watched Oprah’s follow up show to The Secret…only two of the original panel guests returned to answer questions, and in my opinion they were the two who understood the Secret the least of all the original panel guests. I’m talking about James Arthur Ray(Arthur of the Science of Success) hereafter referred to as JAR, and the REV. Dr. Michael Beckwith (Founder of the Agape International Spiritual Center) hereafter referred to as REV. I have to say I was probably most impressed by Jack Canfield (Chicken Soup for the Soul guy) - hey Jack, how could you be too busy to make Oprah’s show, I wonder?
Anyway, Jar and Rev, while I’m sure they’re intelligent, evolved men, managed to take a fascinating premise and make it wholly drab and mundane. They pretty much kept repeating the same two commands - visualize it and act on it. Well DUH…I was not inspired.
JAR was really goofy. Some lady was having financial problems and his advice to her was - seriously, don’t get disgusted - his advice was “save, invest, cut back spending.” That’s about as life-changing as some guy saying , “Hey I invented the magic bullet for weight loss!” So Oprah has him on her show, and he says, “YOU CAN BE THIN - all you have to do is eat less, and get more exercise.” Wooo - big news there. Yeah right. (Well, I guess that’s about what Dr. Phil did in his weight loss book, eh. What a scam THAT was.)
Don’t get me wrong - I loved the first show on the secret. In fact, Jack had me get into action about changing my outlooks, and attitudes. Jack said things that were right on! He didn’t say, “Save, Invest, Cut back spending.” He would’ve said, I believe he would’ve said, “Change your vision of your relationship with money, and financial circumstances…make your vision so bright and colorful that you get emotional about it. Once we get emotional inside of new perceptions, we start recreating our thought patterns, and redefining what WE ARE LIKE….” Remember what all they said? THE SECRET is the Law of Attraction. The number one rule of that law is that LIKE attracts LIKE.
Awesome, ain’t it!
One last comment I have to Jar and Rev is that they should refrain from trying to define what GOD is in 100 words or less, and expect other people to convert. Apparently another lady was concerned that the secret may conflict with her Christianity. The Rev came up with some generic interpretation of who God is, and what He expects from us. She didn’t look convinced. Nor was I. His belief had nothing to do with hers. I would tell her, “Lady, God has given us many tools to live by. The law of attraction is a tool, just as genetics is a tool, as is astronomy, gardening, sewing, prayer, money, and everything else good.”
Here is one of several letters I got about my last “Secret” Blog - and my response:
Thank you so much for this explanation Gina.
I saw bits and pieces on CNN last night and have been searching the web for more information. I am unemployed at the moment and can’t afford to purchase the DVD
so am trying to find answers without that purchase (although once I find a job I
will buy it). I have been very discouraged in my job search and I now feel that I can go at it in a positive frame of mind instead of one that was becoming increasingly depressed. I am even applying today for a job that I don’t really have all of the background for, but know without a doubt that I can do. I had decided not to apply, but……here I go!
Thanks again,
(Name withheld by me.)
Dear (NWBM),Thanks for commenting on my blog. I am glad I was able to provide further explanation of The Secret for you. It’s pretty powerful stuff, the Law of Attraction. Good luck on your job quest. Remember to envision yourself doing the kind of work you enjoy, have contribution for, and respect for, and fill those visions with a shower of green big money bills - and remember to say to yourself, “Yes, I CAN do this!” And believe that with all your soul!
And get detailed and colorful about the vision. Remember what Oprah’s Secret guests said, Everyone knows what they Don’t want, YOU have to envision what you DO want. Step up the way you’ve been seeing things. Remember what I said about the car? If you generally picture a used run-of-the-mill Toyota, start picturing brand new, leather-smelling Jaguars instead. Make it a new habit.
So Envision yourself perfectly groomed (maybe a new hair cut, or hair color?), perfectly prepared, positively motivated to stun your employers with a motivated on-fire attitude, performance that screams recognition…get sensual about it - hear the office sounds, feel in your heart the detailed praise you get from work well done, smell the flowers on your desk, taste the healthy brown bag lunch you packed…become emotional about it. Emotion means passion and passionate people make life happen. Don’t just do it once - make a habit of it, a new, clearer way of seeing things.
May the Force be with you!
Hypnotically yours,
Gina Fox
That’s all I have to say about this for now. But hey dear Oprah, if you have another follow up, get Jack Canfield, please!

Case Study in Hypnosis
Hello Again! Every now and then I’ll share some “cases” with you. Here’s one I thought was significant. And for those of you who’ve asked I finally put my CDs on Ebay!>>>>> The Case <<<<<
A 38 year old lady (whom we’ll call Hilda) phoned me with a burning question - which I’ll get to later. Hilda is suffering a dilemma common to many of us in the quest for ideal weight - Fear of Failure. She is currently in Weight Watchers for her third time. The first time with WW she lost forty pounds, and kept it off for ten years. Unfortunately, over said years The Lost Forty has crept back like a lichen, until her body is covered with it again, plus an additional ”finder’s fee” forty, leading her to where she is present day, at 220.
Between then and now Hilda’s tried Weight Watchers a second time (lost seven pounds before giving up), Jenny Craig (lost twenty pounds on that before giving up), and Atkins on and off (losing and re-finding several pounds on that, finally realizing that diet could never be more to her than a part-time lover), and she’s back to WW.
So far with WW she’s lost five pounds but she’s really struggling with sticking to the plan. She’s afraid she’s going to cheat and lose all willpower, and that she’ll end up another six months/ten pounds heavier before making another attempt. She’s exhausted - frustrated with the roller coaster.
Her question to me was : Would listening to a self-hypnosis cd for weight loss help her stick-to-it-ive-ness?
>>>>> My Recommendation <<<<<
Yes, yes, yes. Yes. Yes. A good hypnotic Cd can definitely enhance a well-balanced weight loss program, such as Weight Watchers. In fact, many university studies are concluding that for weight reduction success, hypnosis and a good weight loss program is a combination that can’t be beat. Participants that did BOTH hypnosis AND a weight loss program lost more weight, and kept it off longer than people who only did the program. That’s pretty much a duh! when you consider the power of the two components working together.
Daily listening to a good CD gets her all this:
Changes occur from the inside =>Out
Emotional (self) support
Increased focus and commitment,
Positive reinforcement,
Unconscious programming for permanent changes.
A well-balanced weight loss program (which WW is) gets her all this:
Changes occur from the outside => In
Group support
Nutritional guidelines
Accountability
Behavioral structure
All that said, she invested in several of my CDs. (She’d come to my group classes if she could however she lives in Arizona and that’s an unreasonable commute!) The CD I recommended she begin with is called: 3 Easy Steps to Weight Loss. It’s main focus is diminishing the yo-yoing effects on her system and psyche, so she can renew faith in herself, her potential, her future. The following is a brief description of the CD I told her to start with and listen to exclusively - once a day, for thirty days, while staying on her WW program:
Title - Weight Loss in 3 Easy StepsTrack 1 - Focus (10 minutes). Finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. This brief session sharpens the mind for renewed commitment. Gets you excited about staying the course. Ideal for lunch-break refresher.Track 2 - Taking the Steps (20 minutes). Excellent for the stress/emotional overeater. Perfect for the ex-yo-yoer. In the relaxed state, finally let go of frustrations over past weight loss failures. Find yourself super-focused on your weight reduction goals of today, becoming increasingly super-charged about sticking to the weight reduction plan. Listen 1-3 times daily for thirty days.
If you’re interested in implementing the power of self-hypnosis CDs into your weight reduction strategy and want to invest in this one you can very conveniently visit this Ebay link and order it: http://cgi.ebay.com/SELF-HYPNOSIS-CD-D-I-Y-WEIGHT-LOSS-IN-3-EASY-STEPS_W0QQitemZ190019059335QQihZ009QQcategoryZ72884QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Let me know if you order it so I can assist you in any way I can - via email if necessary! In the meantime I’ll let you know about Hilda’s successes as I hear from her!

My “before and after” pics : http://www.enterhypnosis.com/gina.html
Time to Nourish Spirit.
Elevated terror alerts. War in the Middle East. Rising gasoline prices. Sinking stock market. Global warming. Immigration tensions. Republican versus Democrat. I could go on and on and on, but I think you get the picture. There’s much stress and conflict in our worlds today, both at the global level, and individually.
Logically, research substantiates that stress is an undeniable factor in illness and injury. That makes it more than important, crucial actually, to take time to nourish not only mind and body, but also spirit.
What is spirit? Many things I’m sure. There are facets to spirit that stretch beyond word definability. That said, allow me to attempt a meager description. Spirit is the part of us which possesses more information than what we are conscious of. Spirit sources our heartfelt emotion, and creative imagination. It’s our potential for higher wisdom. Spirit resides in our hearts, in our gut, in our DNA. Spirit storehouses memory of our births, childhoods, our past lives, and the in-between lives places. Spirit co-authored the blueprint for our life’s purpose. Spirit gives human the will to survive horrors like Nazi camps, and tax audits.
Individual spirits connect directly to the Great Creator spirit, God. Remember this: Human is only as strong as his/her connection to spirit.
Each human is composed of three elements: mind, body and spirit. Just as one has to keep feeding and exercising the mind and body in order to keep sharp, fit, agile, and beautiful, one also must feed and exercise the spirit.
Just as there are athletic gyms, vitamin supplements, books and schools for the mind and body, the spirit also has “workout” equipment. Luckily for us, God has provided us with a wide variety of powerful tools to choose from. For some, it’s going to Catholic Church every Sunday morning. For others it’s Temple, or Synagogue, or Mosque, or a circle of stones, or retreating into Nature.
I have delved into various religions, and have to say I deeply respect all of them that bring love, peace of mind, kindness, humanity, self-realization, self-worth, and goodness to the person, their home, and the world.
If you aren’t a temple goer, I invite you to discover your inner temple and fortify yourself through strengthening your connection to the source of…well, The Source, period. You’ll be a far advantaged participant in this thing called life, in the face of all our worldly challenges.
Till soon!
Love, and Peace. ~ Gina
