THE NEW AGE OF AQUARIUS

”When the Moon is in the Seventh House, and Jupiter aligns with Mars, then peace shall guide the planets, and love will steer the stars. This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius.”

”I hope I am wrong ... and that human nature really has magically changed in the era of Obama. So close your eyes, listen to the Messiah’s voice, and repeat: “Debts will be forgiven by creditors; inflation will not follow from massive borrowing; breakthroughs in solar and wind will power our cars and heat our homes; enemies will admire our compassion and join us to achieve world peace; and terrorists are either misunderstood or provoked needlessly by our bellicosity that alone stands in the way of peace.”

Believe all that and you can lay back and enjoy the Age of Obama.

And the cycle repeats.

OBAMA’S COATTAILS

Peggy Noonan on White House adviser David Axelrod arguing that Virginia gubenatorial candidate Creigh Deeds should have embraced President Obama: “My goodness, throw the drowning man an anvil.”

Miss Noonan has a way with words. Read the whole thing.
