Susan Boyle didn't win and '2 Hours' relaxes

Update Monday June 8: over the weekend I heard some news that American Idol voting had some squirelliness attached for viewers who intended to vote for Susan Boyle - which means she probably should have won - my intuition exactly!

Original post starts here:

Spending some time updating blogs including this one...added Google's Search This Blog feature at top of the sidebar column but it slows down loading so the search box will be moved lower in column to see if it speeds things up.

Hopefully, both readers of this blog will alert me if they have problems with its loading or with other tech things around here!

And Susan Boyle didn't come in first in the Britain's Got Talent competition. Was she robbed as was Adam Lambert on American Idol? Both have the stronger, more enticing voices in their respective contests, but sometimes there are other mysterious considerations...just like in Washington DC where things often work out in weird and unexpected ways in spite of all common sense.

After the search box is relocated, it will be break time since it's the weekend and a lovely one for weather in Georgia, it must be said. Today was as perfect as it could be and it's very very green here from recent rains!

Perhaps I'll take a nap like Grace you see in the photo - catchin' some zzz-z-z...

Sunday's Quick Astrology Update: see sidebar column under image: 'A Large Disappt'd Audience' for 2Hrs' new feature: 'Mythology of Astrology's smaller bodies' in time for Pres. Obama's historic journey to Cairo, Egypt, June 4, 2009, and you may want to check today's post on his trip at Jude's Threshold where I sassily bring up the topic of shamanism or priesthood in relation to the president's trip to mysterious ancient lands.

Innovating email: the Google Wave

An innovation is to be unveiled later this year: the Google Wave for emailing, instant messaging, and more.

Considering the email problems I'm having lately, can I stand to wait? Probably. Because it's usually a touted 'upgrade' that plops my pc into a mess like it's in now!

Fed should agree to curb overdraft fees

~:~ ~:~ ~:~

Yeah, well you know the time has come when the over-strapped US consumers' turnip blood is in short supply, so the Fed and their vampirish banking/credit buds should agree to curb overdraft fees on credit card accounts.

And though they'll never see the inside of a prison cell, credit lenders and other loan sharks have garnered years of ill-gotten, sneaky profits and now it's time to give up the profitable scam of padding balances with arbitrary fees that snowball out of all proportion to one's projected lifetime income. As the French say: impossible!

Is a massive grassroots movement needed to prod the cattle on Capitol Hill into mooing legislation that sets up fairer bargains for the long-unprotected (by them) American consumer?

The National Bossy is dry, Shylocks everywhere.

Where is an online petition to sign and send to Congress when you need one?

Bet if I toss my browser right or left I'll kick into a wave around here somewhere...



Now here I am in my varmint days pulling a heist on a shifty-looking if unsuspecting spaniel...but as you see, I was a child. These financial and political brigands are adults who presumably knew better, didn't care, and heisted as long as they could get away with it...and with nary a paw print or speck of evidence to mar the stories they're stickin' to.

In fact, given the world's 24/7 opportunities, some of them are heisting as I type!
