Okay, what is UP with the woo-woo ad on television (Current TV) just now...
1 800 870-6108, a number advertised in the ad to call
for a "special message" about the return of "The Christ" "The Krishna"
and a the appearance of a star that will be visible night and day.
The organization is "Share International" a whack-a-doodle web
site featuring the ramblings of Benjamin Creme.
Someone told me they also saw it on MSNBC.
What the hell?
I'm going to call it and I will report back.

Cause this reality sucks...
There you have it!
The solution to a very fucked up planet!
Who knew it was going to be easy?

I find that VERY odd indeed.
Just cruised the Youtubes on it and the Christians are warning
that it is the anti-christ and that the powers that be are behind it...Yikes!
BHN
It's full of stars...
Yikes!1!!
No unusual activity in the sky... just the usual suspects.
Guess that means we are safe for now.

But it's COLD where you are? It's 50 right now in my community in the Antelope Valley, with the high Tuesday forecast at 75.
It was a few degrees shy of that today, and I got a kick out of seeing my elderly WWII vet neighbor sitting out on the steps in the sun. He's on oxygen, and tends to be shut in in winter. When he has a chance to sit in the sunshine, I count it as a good day. 
If we ever get our shit together to have another one.
I want to see California Peggy, RobinLynne, Villager, Capn Sunshine,
and so many others again!
My soul needs a drink of DU water.

And on Sunday, three of us (Fire Walk With Me, ellisonz and I) marched together for Trayvon Martin in South L.A. - http://www.democraticunderground.com/12521853 (while U4ikLefty was doing an Occupy L.A. action at H'wood & Vine).
Fire (and maybe Lefty, too) also has #Occupied with Mr. & Mrs. coalitionunwilling from the beginning of Occupy L.A. 6 months ago, and robin has expressed interest in doing an action together. And in San Diego, nadin also has considered coming up here for a major event.
There was an effort in the CA forum to get a CA meetup together up north, but iirc that plan hit a snag (though Bay Area DUers have had a couple of barbecues together, hosted by pinto, I think).
Because some can do weekends only, a weekend action is best for an L.A. area or SoCal meetup. A meetup can be done on its own, but I like the idea of piggybacking off an action in which we also work together in the streets. WHOSE STREETS? OUR STREETS!
I'll keep you in mind for a shout out when I see something that may be a good opportunity for some of us to link up. And friending Occupy L.A. activist Patti Beers on FB is a good way to plug into her alerts on upcoming actions: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001246205159#!/pmbeers
You can also stay abreast of activities by checking the OLA website and its calendar (check for both 'official' and 'affiliate' actions): http://occupylosangeles.org/
We can all use a drink of DU water. We just cross our fingers that we don't end up suffering from 'Skinner's Revenge.'
Hope to see you soon!
Love & Peace,

Reports on our Sunday march pegged the distance variously as 1.5 or 3 miles--with many in hoodies. It might have been 1.5--for a crow--but we aren't crows, so we had to hump the whole 3 miles (which felt, to me, more like the 26 miles of the Marathon! And I was once an Army combat Infantry foot soldier!).
A DU beach party is a great idea. We'd get SoCal members, and others from all over CA who might be able to make it. From Redlands, CA in the North to nadin in the South, they'll come.
And I can't tell you how much I appreciate your volunteering to organize it.
First off, you'll need to post an OP in the CA Group to announce that you're planning a meetup in order to give everyone a heads-up. You'll also need to look at beach sites and accomodations and availability dates.
If you thought having a bum knee was bad before, just wait 'til you see the work involved in the project it gave you.
But I know you'll do fine.
No jewelry on the site- just a VERY important message...
In all seriousness though, WHO the hell is funding this
ad?

"He's a follower of Blavatsky, which is to say a con artist of such a high order as to perhaps actually be spiritually accomplished as a master."
THINK about that for a minute. If it's true, then what does it MEAN to be "spiritually accomplished?"
"And magnetized water in cast-iron pipes is REALLY ANNOYING."
Sorry if you didn't get the
But on the serious side - lots of people have better ideas than our politicians. It isn't hard, for chrissakes, you can hardly AVOID it. But so what? What are you supposed to DO about them? Is there someone on Obama's staff that's reading DU for good ideas in order to have Obama implement them all? If not, then who will?
I read your post several times and thought you were serious!
My bad!
