“Sassy! Smart! Sexy! Some men couldn’t handle it.”
Michael Moore, Sicko 2007
This was how Michael Moore characterized Hillary Clinton in his 2007 documentary, Sicko. This groundbreaking documentary detailed the irrevocably, broken healthcare system in the United States of America.
Moore devoted a segment to Hillary Clinton because in a historically unprecedented move, her husband, then president of the United States, Bill Clinton did the unthinkable and appointed his wife to head the Task Force on National Health Care Reform in 1993. The goal for this task force was to come up with a comprehensive plan to provide universal health care for all Americans. The opposition to this task force was vicious and vitriolic. Most of it was aimed at Hillary herself. The bill was eventually defeated by its forceful opposition.
Of course synastry is not just about love and romance. Some of the most intriguing synastry can be our relationships with our other loved ones…our families. It would seem we are born into these relationships against our will, yet in some cases, they can to be our biggest teachers.
One such relationship, is the relationship of Fab Four Paul McCartney and his famous fashion designer daughter Stella McCartney. Being the child of a celebrity can be a curse rather than a blessing. These children have the privilege of living lives of glamour and wealth but they are always overshadowed by their famous parent. They don’t always live happily ever after as we have seen in such cases as Bobbi Kristina Brown, Cameron Douglas, Christian Brando and Peaches Geldof.

Not that things ever get that exciting in Canadian politics. They don’t! As one who had to sit through countless hours of boring tedious Canadian history lessons in elementary school, I can attest that. We did not have gunslingers, cowboys and indians in our past. However in typical, equal-rights, liberty-loving Canadian fashion, we did have the underground railroad that guided black slaves to freedom from oppression south of the border.
The closest thing we ever came to glamour was when Pierre Elliot Trudeau would pirouette or flip the bird at reporters in his leisure suits. A reminder to the younger readers, leisure suits were the epitome of cool in 1968.
So fast forward one generation later and the question is, will his son Justin Trudeau carry on his legacy on October 19, 2015? Or will Canadians continue to put their trust in the current Conservative government of Stephen Harper. This is going to be a very close race, no doubt. The New Democratic party is also vying for the top spot. So who will be top dog and what does astrology have to say about this election?
They have been dubbed the world’s most talked about couple. We are fascinated by them and can’t peel our eyes away; yet it is more like that senseless car accident on the side of the highway that we all slow down to gaze at in horror.
The incomprehensible fame of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian is by product of the postmodern concept of “hyperreality.” Hyperreality is defined as the inability for consciousness to distinguish reality from a simulation. Every week, 1.5 millions viewers tune in to find out the ongoings and drama of the Kardashians like it is their own family. Countless of water cooler conversations have debated on whether Kim and momager Kris staged events on the show, such as Kim’s sham wedding to Kris Humphries, for the sole purpose of cashing in commercially. Kim Kardashian is reported to be the highest-paid reality television personality, raking in an estimated cool $6 million a year.
To cut through the fake, crazy, veneered, fantasy known as Kimye, we have to ask the question are Kanye West and Kim Kardashian for real or are they as fake as Kim’s Juvederm injected lips and silicone enhanced breasts?

It really doesn’t matter which house he is lingering in, Saturn, the Lord of Karma gets a bad rap. There is never a welcome wagon when he comes to visit and when he leaves there is usually a party. He has been labelled a malefic, a party pooper, a wet blanket, a killjoy, a fuddy-duddy, a stern taskmaster; yet he returns to the same place every 28 years to see if you are still smarting from his last visit. Think back to 1985 – 1988, if you can.
Well, according to the current Mrs. Sumner a.k.a. Trudie Styler, they have a normal sex life like everyone else. In fact, Trudie has gone far enough to lambaste Bob Geldof for provoking Sting to divulge the sordid details of their love life during a drunken interview with a rock journalist 25 years ago.
Although the infamous tantric sex story will follow them to their graves, there can be no doubt that this is one of rock n roll’s most enduring unions. Trudie recollects the first time she ever laid eyes on Sting back in 1977.
