    • Alison……HAPPY BIRTHDAY! You share the same bday with Noam Chomsky too, as well as JKath…only goes to show anyone can be born on the same day 😀
      Gosh, you also share the same bday as the day Pearl Harbor was bombed – eek!

      Happy Birthday song seemed so redundant and so I found an this beautiful old song for Hippy Chick from the “Blue” Album. Hope you enjoy it, and hope you have a wonderful Sagittarius 2017! Love, E.

  1. trump is insane. the gop is a party of craven greedy appeasers who will collectively sell their souls as long as they can privatise medicare and cut taxes for the rich. but trump’s russian connections which are almost certainly treasonous are going to bring him down. sooner or later european security agencies or their proxies are going to start leaking security info which the trump fbi and co won’t look at themselves. trump isn’t going to be able to hide when that happens. he’s not going to last 4 years.

  2. The US Environmental Protection Agency just became the United States Anti-Environmental Protection Agency. The US EPA has been a joke for years but now it’s time to call it what it is, The Non-Environmental Protection Agency.

    “Having Scott Pruitt in charge of the US Environmental Protection Agency is like putting an arsonist in charge of fighting fires,” said Michael Brune, executive director of the Sierra Club. “He is a climate science denier who, as attorney general for the state of Oklahoma, regularly conspired with the fossil fuel industry to attack EPA regulations. Nothing less than our children’s health is at stake.

    Donald Trump gave his Foundation’s largest donor a CABINET spot yesterday. Did you see blaring headlines? Imagine if HRC had done that??

    who would have thought 2016 would give us the totalitarian twit of twitter…

  6. Spain is going to change the timezone.
    ¤¤ Spain leaves Franco in past as it seeks to move clocks back an hour.
    Spain was originally in the Greenwich Mean Time zone – along with Britain and Portugal, with which it is geographically in line – but Franco shifted Spain’s clocks one hour ahead to be in line with Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Germany.
    The People’s party of Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy and the smaller Ciudadanos party agreed on the reform in August. ¤¤

  7. Erik Satie – French composer late 1900’s, rumored to be inspired by his interest in Gnosticism and scenes from a 17th Century translation of Virgil’s Aeneid, Satie invented a new style of composition for his time, and called it Gnossienne. Here is his Gnossiennes, no. 1, 2, and 3. No. 3 is my favorite. His minimalist style and sound especially in no. 1 is recognizable to most — not sure no. 2 and 3 are. He wrote much more than Gnossienes. I’ve been in love with him a long time. Enjoy 🙂
