Sacha Baron Cohen – A law unto himself

Like most comedians, Sacha Baron Cohen polarizes opinions. Some love his irreverent comic style laced with more than a drop of irony and others just don’t get it. On the Oscar red carpet last night in a very pre-rehearsed publicity stunt, Cohen dressed at “The Dictator” a character from his upcoming film and tipped the ashes of “Kim Jong Il” all over E! Entertainment’s TV host Ryan Seacrest. The funniest thing about the whole incident were the burly security men dragging Baron Cohen away. The incident however had had it’s desired effect.

Julia Gillard & Kevin Rudd – Could political war seriously undermine both of them?

Australian politics is seeing an almighty punch up right now as Kevin Rudd, the Australian foreign minister resigned his position to openly challenge Prime Minister Julia Gillard. She in turn did not hang around and promptly called a leadership election of the Aussie Labor party with winner takes all as the prize.  There is serious bad blood between the two, as Gillard staged a coup in 2010 to oust Rudd from the Prime Minister’s job. In a swipe at the former Foreign Secretary she said  he was  “running a dysfunctional and chaotic government when he was Prime Minister”. Sounds fun, doesn’t it?

San Francisco 1906 Earthquake – Is the San Andreas fault ready to shift again?

If you live in California, the risk of earthquake damage is ever present as the San Andreas Fault runs right along the spine of the state. The most notorious of all the earthquakes in living memory was the San Francisco earthquake of 1906 which hit at around 7.9 on the Richter scale and claimed around 3000 lives. People have said that a repeat is now overdue. Looking at the astrology, in my opinion we are definitely now in the danger zone for a new rupture along the fault line.

CERN – Light speed checks come astrologically on time.

I have been following this story with great interest of the past few months. Back in September last year the boffins at the CERN Hadron Collider site in Geneva who were looking for the Higgs Boson or God particle made a startling discovery, that the neutrinos they were testing were travelling  in excess of the speed of light. Today, news came out of CERN that possibly there were some errors in their experiments. Their results showed although the particles were shown to have sped along 60 billionths of a second faster than thought possible, there could have been a problem with the optical cables they were using or even the accuracy of the timing devices. A look back at the astrology chart from the first use of the Hadron collider shows that now is the time for correction and checking exactly what happened.
