Apocalyptic President Even some Republicans are now horrified by the influence Bush has given to the evangelical right Sidney Blumenthal (From The Guardian) In his latest PR offensive President Bush came to Cleveland, Ohio, on Monday to answer the paramount question on Iraq that he said was on people's minds: "They wonder what I see that they don't." After mentioning "terror" 54 times and "victory" five, dismissing "civil war" twice and asserting that he is "optimistic", he called on a citizen in the audience, who homed in on the invisible meaning of recent events in the light of two books, American Theocracy, by Kevin Phillips, and the book of Revelation.

Are Democrats Anti-Christian? The radical right is doing everything in its power to threaten judicial independence -- at the risk of turning legitimate debate over judicial appointees into a religious war. How does Senate GOP Leader Bill Frist respond? This Sunday, despite an outcry from Jewish and other religious leaders, he'll be raising the stakes and egging-on the far-right. But you can add your voice today -- and tell him that enough is enough (see below). As you may have heard, the ultra-conservative Family Research Council [aired]a "Justice Sunday" telecast on April 24, 2005 linking churches across the nation, and Frist will be speaking. The topic? In the words of FRC's president: how to "stop this unprecedented filibuster of people of faith." In trumpeting the telecast, FRC proclaims that the courts have been acting "like thieves in the night, to rob us of our Christian heritage and our religious freedoms." These "anti-Christian"

''No One Left To Speak for Me'' Commentary on the News Jack Kinsella - Omega Letter Editor "First they came for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Jew. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn’t speak up, because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me." - Rev.

I AM SO ORDINARY Paula Cole I nearly died I suicided softly I saw her shadow through the cafe window I watched you lean across the table I watched you whisper in her ear And she is your holy Mary And I am so ordinary And you can use me if you want to I know you need me just like an old soft shoe She looks like me but a bit prettier She's a skater and a ballet dancer I saw her on your motorcycle In the seat I thought was meant for me And when your mother came to Boston you disappeared And then I saw you three together I guess she makes the best impression With her charming femininity...

Jewish Astrology? Moshe Wisnefsky Sefer Yetzirah, one of the first Jewish books ever written, reveals the secrets of Jewish astrology. Throughout the Bible, Talmud and Code of Jewish Law there are fascinating descriptions of how G-d channels His life force into our world through heavenly bodies. At the same time, when one is connected to the Torah and observes its commandments, he or she is directly plugged into the Supernatural, surpassing the influences of astrological forces. Jacob’s sons, who became the 12 tribes of Israel, are actually 12 different soul roots from which the Jewish people descend. These roots correspond with the 12 signs of the zodiac, the 12 Jewish months, 12 letters of the Hebrew alphabet and 12 attributes of the soul, such as sight, anger, speech and thought. We have the ability to better ourselves at any time, but the Kabbalah delineates certain times that are more auspicious to work on certain attributes. For example, Jewish holidays do not only commemorate hi
