Hey everyone. i'm trying to put together a special CD with the most down 'n dirty, sexy, sultry tracks i can get my hands on. so far i have only found Gato Barbieri's version of Europa. Who can suggest any others? hurry...it's for father's day with my sweetie, who i'm trying to "make a father" heheheheh. Thanks for any ideas!

Scorpio this is a good time to rethink your scheming ways. The new Moon in your sign will bring you a rebirth, which is long overdue.

Sagittarius it's all fun and games until you get the bill. Well, there's no running away from your responsibilities this week. And you know what they say about assumptions... so don't.

Capricorn you want your cake and you want it now! Too bad, this week you're going to have to be patient. And don't huff and puff about it, your friends don't want to hear it. Chill out and rethink your plans.

Aquarius you're going to have to stop playing the victim this week and stop that whining that everyone finds so off-putting. If you can't play nice, then don't play at all.

Pisces this is a good week to mingle, but be careful how you steer the conversation, you could reveal more than you need to. And it will come back and bite you.

Aries stop being so insecure and you might actually get lucky. Guard your cash and your time this week because the moochers are out to get you. And don't lose your temper.

Taurus try not to be a bully this week or you'll end up having to do a lot of explaining and apologizing, two things you hate more than anything.

Gemini you are actually on top of things this week, don't let people's mood swings and inconsistencies destabilize you now. Nose to the grindstone!

Cancer brace yourself for big changes this week. Your sensitive little soul will be in the emotional wringer, but it's all for the best. Trust me.

Leo you are always so cheery and funny, and usually annoying to the moodier signs. But this week your sunny disposition and sense of humor are a welcome as so many of us are in a funk.

Virgo you're going to need to simmer down your money worries this week or you'll find yourself arguing with everyone. And stop freaking out so much about what others think of you.

Libra protect your assets and respect your deadlines this week. The focus should be on the future in the long-run, so avoid lashing out at your allies.

Chorus " No one can make me laugh, make me cry, drive me wild, or drive me mad, like you do." Who sings the song with this as the beginning of the chorus and what's the title. Thank you.

A couple of months ago, I published a picture depicting Sarah Palin clubbing an Orca and I thought it was pretty hilarious given the political climate and my over-all opinion of the Alaska Governor as the biggest threat to nature, wildlife, whales, polar bears, wolves, women, children (born and unborn), humanity; basically planet Earth. I also included a link to the Anchorage Daily News, as just one example of her attitude toward her native Alaska wildlife, where it was reported that Palin opposed placing the white beluga whales of the Cook Inlet under the protection of the Endangered Species Act because it would harm the local economy. But, despite opposition from Governor Plain, the Bush Administration is placing the white belugas of Cook Inlet on the endangered species list. There has been a sharp decline in beluga population since the 1970s when there were over 1,200 of them, now there are only 375 belugas left in the region. The Alaska Governor called the move "premature". This editorial from the New York Times succinctly spells it out :

"Presumably, the time for listing the belugas will be mature when the gas-and-oil infrastructure in Cook Inlet is in place and the shipping lanes are running full and the fishing industry is going gangbusters. After humans have gotten everything they want out of those waters, then it will be time."

The author concludes:

"What makes Ms. Palin an especially effective anti-environmentalist is that she comes from Alaska. She touches the expansionist chord, the ancestral American feeling that there will always be enough nature, although it is already clear that the systemic balance of nature is beginning to break down over much of the globe."

Mrs. Palin touts herself as a hard-core pro-lifer, but it's clear that her feelings about the protection of life don't extend to animals (or those "without a voice", as she likes to say). Her attitude about the environment and the animals who inhabit the world don't count in Sarah Palin's pro-oil and pro-gas-line-agenda. In many ways, the embarrassment that is her VP candidacy has a been a blessing in disguise. Now that she is in the spotlight, so is Alaska, as are issues of environment vs. human impact. And, if you ask me, so too should be her filthy, dirty record.
