Not that I really care.
Prudence, Caution, Deliberation.
The Hermit points to all things hidden, such as knowledge and inspiration,hidden enemies. The illumination is from within, and retirement from participation in current events.
The Hermit is a card of introspection, analysis and, well, virginity. You do not desire to socialize; the card indicates, instead, a desire for peace and solitude. You prefer to take the time to think, organize, ruminate, take stock. There may be feelings of frustration and discontent but these feelings eventually lead to enlightenment, illumination, clarity.

Arundhati Roy, The author of "The God of Small Things."
"The only dream worth having is to dream that you will live while you're alive and die only when you're dead. To love, to be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest place. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never forget."
"Thanks to us independence came (and went), elections come and go, but there has been no shuffling of the deck. On the contrary, the old order has been consecrated, the rift fortified. We, the Rulers, won't pause to look up from our heaving table. We don't seem to know the resources we are feasting on are finite and rapidly depleting. There is cash in the bank, but soon there'll be nothing left to buy with it. The food's running out in the kitchen. And the servants haven't eaten yet. Actually, the servants stopped eating a long time ago."
"Who knows, perhaps that is what the twenty-first century has in store for us. The dismantling of Big. Big bombs, big dams, big ideologies, big contradictions, big countries, big wars, big heroes, big mistakes. Perhaps it will be the century of the small. Perhaps right now, this very minute, there's a small god up in heaven readying herself for us."

A Policeman, Indian, Construction Worker and a Cowboy?
If they were heterosexual, would they be The Backstreet Boys? This should be more disturbing than anything.
My area of town is called the "Village" what does that make me?

Crooks and Liars Video blog of your favorite "Politicos" doing what they do best, on video.
CNN Herein lies the real, corporate sponsered news. You will witness ridiculous stories of runaway brides, Michael Jackson, American Idol being headlined over real news, just in case the hard arrow of truth penetrates the consensual illusion created the day before fails or wears off.
Fox News Excellent source of propaganda and fear mongering, among the best in "Fear and unbalanced news". This is also good way to build a level of unnecessary stress if your day has been unusually slow. IMHO anyway.
