Watching the signs: January, February and March of 2014

JANUARY 2014

January 2014 began with a New Moon. A New Moon symbolizes new beginnings.

January 2014 will end with a Black Moon. When a second new moon falls within a single solar calendar month, it is called a Black Moon. This happens approximately once every 3 or 4 years.

The January 2014 Black Moon will also be a Super Moon. When a New Moon (or a Full Moon) coincides with the closest approach the Moon makes to the Earth on its elliptical orbit, it is called a Super Moon, because its proximity makes it look bigger than at any other time.

FEBRUARY 2014

MARCH 2014

March 2014 will begin with a Sabbath New Moon and end with the second Black Moon in a single year. Black Moons usually occur only once in 3 or 4 years. In 2014, they will happen in January and March.

March 2014 will also feature back-to-back Jewish and Catholic holidays about national freedom, heroism, public displays of merriment and consumption of large quantities of alcohol. They will also coincide with the Full Moon.

• Purim: A Jewish holiday that celebrates Esther, a young Jewess who was chosen by the Persian King Ahasueras to be his queen, and was able to use her position to foil a plot to exterminate the Jews.
• St. Patrick’s Day: A Catholic holiday that celebrates Patrick, a young Catholic who was kidnapped from his home in Briton and sold into slavery in Ireland. After he escaped, he voluntarily returned to Ireland to preach Gospel.

Because the Jewish calendar is lunar while the Catholic calendar is solar, it is unusual for days and dates to coincide. The last time Purim and St. Patrick’s were near each other was 2003 when they landed on the same day.

Politico names Most Judged Woman in America

Politico mag calls Wendy Davis “The Most Judged Woman in America.” Dry a tear. The subhead is the most absurd part of the whole piece:

“Wendy Davis did make a mistake. She thought that we were ready for a single mother.”

Yeah, right. I’m so sure the reason we’re being all judgey about poor pitiful Wendy “I put myself through college and law school” Davis is because she was a single mother for a few years before she snagged a well-established lawyer husband to take care of the stinking kid while he paid for her B.A. and J.D. degrees.

It’s got Nothing At ALL to do with her being a rabid supporter of late-term abortion or an ungrateful lying liar who lost parental custody and was court-ordered to abstain from alcohol and drugs for 24 hours before visitations.

Maybe the Demwits at Politico don’t realize that Wendy Davis is a user, not a victim, seeing as they didn’t choose to cover the SCANDAL part of the story.

Tell you what … when I see any Democrat female getting anything remotely like the treatment the Left still dishes out to Sarah Palin, I’ll consider the possibility that our side has gone too far.

Up next: The people who sifted through Sarah Palin’s trash are now demanding Greg Abbott’s medical records
