The ChariotI’m not a big Tarot person, but I have friends who are, and they all regularly say they draw this card for me (and apparently it is also the card of my sun sign): The Chariot. Since I find these things interesting, I looked it up and got the following interesting but useful story:
I found this to be quite inspirational and very accurate for how I need to act to make progress on all of the projects I care about so much. So I thought I’d just share it with you. 1h. |

The only way is up.As some of you may know, I’ve lost a very dear friend to me this week and I’ve been trying to sort through it somehow by myself for a few days. As my wife Trace will tell people, I’m not the most eloquent writer and so I probably won’t bother writing a long eulogy about how much she meant to me and how badly it hurts to lose one of my best friends in this city. Especially with all the plans we had for the next two weeks and her birthday. So, instead, I will share what a friend of mine shared with me many years back when my godmother passed away and I was dealing with that: The only way is up. God bless you Leah, and may you find the peace that you so longingly searched for every day of your life with energy, vigour, love and happiness. Thank you for sharing so much of your last year with me and Trace. We were all truly blessed to be part of your life, and I will truly miss you. And now, in my ever so hidden, but Catholic ways, I share a prayer for Leah with all those she touched in her life.
1h ps. A good friend of mine, Brother Andre, has a site where you can light a candle as a sign of gratefulness for that which we’ve all been blessed with. Trace and I have lit one for Leah. |

Bill Moyers to Obama and Dems: Grow a pair.Required viewing for any Democrats in the states wondering why their polls are crashing. Hint: It’s not because you are so enthusiastically in support of a public option.

It will escalate, as long as those who caused it do not accept responsibility.The following picture was taken at a Obama town hall meeting:
I’m worried things will continue to get worse as long as those who stoke these fires, and spread blatant and dangerous lies that scare the living pants off of people do not accept responsibility for any actions that occur due to their words. You do have a right to free speech, and I accept that, but you also have a responsibility to accept that if you tell a crazy with a gun that it may be a wise idea to take it to these town halls “in case things get out of hand,” you are somewhat at fault should he do anything. The whole matter right now in the states is spiralling out of hand, and I hope the majority of people who are sane and responsible stand up and stop this before someone snaps. 1h |

WTS? or just people who like it quiet?I ran across this article on wind mills and people who live near them in the last week about a new “syndrome” for anti-windmill people and hypochondriacs to have:
So, by this guys results, everyone in Toronto must be suffering horribly from the giant wind mill right in the center of the city. This would be easy to check; look at the records of the “symptoms” this guy reports before and after the windmill was built. If there is a jump, then there actually may be legitimacy to his work. If there isn’t, he may just be noting that people who live on farms like it quiet and when it’s not quiet, they get agitated and have either nocebo symptoms or old symptoms of pain that they notice more. 1h. ps. I’m not affiliated in any fashion with “The wind industry [who] will try to discredit [him] and disparage [him].” |

The stupid… it hurts…First thing, this is the 1000th post on 1337hax0r. whoo-hoo. Secondly, I saw this conspiracy theory which Fox News is putting out, and it’s just unbelievable. Glenn Beck has not only gone completely off the deep end, but tied two lead weights to his legs while doing so. I love a conspiracy theory as much as the next guy, but these are so convoluted and crazy and it just hurts. First, after 8 years of known government spying on Americans in the guise of protecting against “terrorism,” he believes a conspiracy that visiting a website could allow the government to take over all documents on the computer. Amazingly, when he does it he doesn’t actually show the message he claims was there. Regardless, the stupidity of believing that the government can miraculously copy all of your data instantaneously when you visit a website is just shocking. The fact that this is being shown as news on a “reputable” news network in the states to other people who don’t understand the technology and will fall for the hype… is well.. stupid… but also scary. This other one by Glenn Beck is incredible in it’s convolutedness. I’m almost expecting Glenn Beck to claim that Obama shot JFK or that he faked the moon landing. I think Fox News has completely given up on being a news network and has turned into a really bad 24/7 episode of X-Files. Fox Mulder would be a great host.
If you believe that it’s just Glenn Beck pushing this conspiracy tripe, clearly you haven’t seen the Birthers, and the “Deathers.” Maddow discusses this phenomena. 1h |
