A New Economic Vision, in 27 Words
With this I can agree:
By James Kwak
A couple of weeks ago I posted a 6,000-word essay laying out a new economic vision for the Democratic Party. It kind of vanished into the ether, although Stephen Metcalf was kind enough to say this:
So here it is, in 27 words:
All people need a few basic things:
- An education
- A job
- A place to live
- Health care
- A decent retirement
Let’s make sure everyone has these things.
If you want more, there is always the long version.
Verses of the Six Degrees replayed
Usually I reblog here the posts and articles of others in order to spread them around. Tonight I ‘reblog’ (re-post, actually) one of my own efforts which occurred to me in 2015 via the creative inspiration of Mr. A. Cat…but posted here only for those who don’t mind a little bad poetry:
Mr. A. Cat’s Verses of the Six Degrees
In Kevin Bacon’s Six Degrees
there nestles Tudor’s tale
a royal son exalted high
was then tossed into gaol
A Bard and poet prophet he
renowned both far and near
fate’s new Atlantis his ideal
bequeaths a haunting fear
Such hallowed halls of Science trod
old Francis and his staff
genetics our cruel master now
enjoys his mocking laugh
As followers expand the dream
with solitary eye
in pagan hearts a beast to roar
all decency defy
That hidden plan becomes more clear
as plainly can be seen
from chaos order is employed
by head of state and Queen
In modern times the game descends
to liars crooks and knaves
who conscience-free purport to be
footloose to dance on graves.

New Moon in Cancer, June 23, 2017
Water, Earth, and great insights with the New Moon in early Cancer!
What a difference a lunar cycle can make! We dive back into the deep waters again on this New Moon at 02° 47′ Cancer on 23 June 2017 07:31 PM PDT. Water and earth are clearly in charge on this lunation with three planets in signs that they rule: Moon in Cancer, Venus in Taurus and Neptune in Pisces.
The luminaries create a stellium in Cancer with Mercury, entwining the thought process with emotions. While this gives us the ability to articulate our feelings, it is important to be aware the bias is towards subjectivity. If we do our best to keep this in mind, we may avoid the blind spots created tripping us up big time down the line. The best workaround is to engage our emotional intelligence and tune into what our intuitive side has to say.
The other planet in Cancer is Mars, and his strength is…

Interiors of the Soul
Jama Ecuador – My creative mind immediately painted the room’s interior walls with vibrant colors. In seconds, that easily-accessed area of my imagination organized what was inside, traveled to the market and returned with tossed-aside crates previously used for transporting fruits and vegetables. In another direction, my mind found discarded boards from construction projects, which could be altered to make shelves.
Click, click, click – My imagination zoomed with ideas. It would almost work for a temporary studio… But – wait… water.. .a sink… a bathroom.
“Perdon,” I asked with an awkward approach, “Do you have a bathroom? Water?”

Darrell Issa’s Sun Scorpio-Moon Virgo
Up on the Roof…Darrell Issa:
You’ve seen Politico‘s current feature on Darrel Issa’s list of investigations into the Obama administration once the 112th Congress opens on Wednesday January 5, 2011.
It’s like the GOP vs Bill Clinton all over again and broadcaster Thom Hartmann has said that if the Rs can distract the people for long enough, they can hide the fact that the GOP has no new ideas for moving the country forward. I must concur with Mr. Hartmann though I sincerely believe that moving the country toward fascism is closer to Washington’s intention.
As of January 5th, Mr. Issa will be chairman of the ‘top oversight committee’ in Congress which grumps me up no end for if Congress hadn’t vacated its oversight duties years ago we might not be in the financial mess we’re in, yet Issa is passionately itching to use the congressional ‘oversight’ function to plague and undermine the GOP’s…

MELANIA’S BURDEN
How a girl who wanted to make big in fashion world traveled from a sleepy town of Slovenia to the most coveted house on earth….How the most powerful man on earth needs her more than she needed him 20 years ago! Presenting Melania Trump…..
The union made perfect sense for Donald too. After demanding Ivana and needy Marla, Melania would be the perfect mate, one who would be an advertisement for his virility while giving him his “space.” Federico Pignatelli, a longtime Trump friend and business associate, who founded the fashion studio Pier 59, says, “Ivana was an intelligent, entrepreneurial woman. Also a very strong-minded person and very feisty. While instead, Melania . . . really no fights.” For her part, Melania would get a luxurious home where she could indulge her hobbies—Pilates and reading fashion magazines, according to People—in peace, and a promise that she would never…
