I’ve been trying to wean myself off a news-junkie habit, but it hasn’t been easy. You know how it goes: a headline in your browser catches your attention, and you follow it to a thread that gives ten great reasons why Catherine Zeta-Jones can’t get work in Hollywood. Fascinating stuff, but where does the trail end? Online, it never does. You follow the Zeta-Jones article till it ends, and then your browser mysteriously knows that you might be in the mood for similar revelations concerning the former careers of Drew Barrymore, Brendan Fraser and Kevin Costner. Costner has never made a bad sports movie, and so you finish off the evening — or rather, it finishes you off — with For the Love of the Game, or maybe your umpteenth screening of Bull Durham, which never gets stale. If you’ve read this far, I hope you can appreciate my having spared you commentary on a stock market that has become so abjectly tedious and uninteresting as to have become almost unwatchable. Rick’s Picks offers a smattering of scandal-mongering in the chat room, but even there I cannot promise that the side-show will make market-watching any more interesting than it has been. The best I can offer in today’s The Morning Line is a snapshot of Zeta-Jones, surely one of the most beautiful women ever to grace the big screen. If you hanker for something new and fabulous in jazz, try Joanne Brackeen’s album, Breath of Brazil, which I’ve mentioned here before. I’ve listened to it 500 times in my car without tiring of it. It is currently unavailable, even on Amazon, but you can sample her amazing talents on YouTube. And if you like tango music, here’s Aydar Gaynullin with something that will blow your socks off.
Why Can’t Catherine Zeta-Jones Get Work?

The USA was born on July 4, 1776. That day Pluto was positioned at 27º33′ of Capricorn and will return to that same natal position during the years 2021-2023, which is about 246 years later as found with most of the historical empires lives.
All empires in history went from conquest to affluence to collapse.
While not necessarily of equal duration, each phase would last an average of about 41 years.
(the last stage) Phase 8: Collapse – Actors
This will only mean the end of USA supremacy but not the end of the USA. As Britain continued to exist after its 1950 superpower collapse, so will the USA. By that time, China will still be in the early stage of its superpower cycle. A bi-polar world supremacy consensus USA-China will emerge for decades to follow.
Above is the long Pluto cycle of empires, and with today’s news and media ‘actors’ are in full bloom even this post by Rick suggest such in a way. “Actors on all our minds.” The next election cycle will more than likely ‘peak’ it with several actors going for the top seat, or ‘seats’ of ‘power’.
America (the large majority) is one of the few places on earth where persons see life as an always upward ‘positive’ (freedom) process. Few can see this change over the coming years, and more so few can see it change very quickly. I suggest such a change in American thinking has already happen.
Observe a clock in its long trend of motion, every once in a while the key must be wound and at the end of the process take note as to how hard it is to turn that key for the future motion.
This is ‘effort’, the coil and then release is the ‘result’, human effort is at its max with the American way of life to it, and the coil or ‘results’ or the release towards long term change is dead ahead.
7 years of crap and garbage is dead ahead.
Wish you all a very sincere Memorial Day, God Bless all that gave their lives for our ways.
God Bless you all.
God Bless the United States of America.
