Who tells the bunny?

The dating of Easter is based on the lunar calendar that the Hebrews use to identify passover, which is why it moves around on our Roman calendar. According to the formula, the earliest date for Easter to occur is March 22, a rare event that none of us will experience. This year is the earliest Easter any of us will ever see!

The next time Easter will be this early is March 23, 2228.
The last time Easter was this early was March 23, 1913, 95 years ago.
The next time Easter will be on March 22, will be in the year 2285.

The formula for calculating the day upon which Easter falls in any given year has always been a mystery to me. I've just never understood how it worked. Until now, that is!

Simply said, Easter is always the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Spring Equinox. That's easy! I get it! Now I just need to know who tells the Bunny!

Seriously scary shit...

CHECK YOUR DRIVER'S LICENSE...









Now you can see anyone's Driver's License on the Internet, including your own! I just searched for mine and there it was picture and all!! Thanks Homeland Security! Where are our rights?

Go to the web site and check it out. Just enter your name, city and state to see if yours is on file. After your license comes on the screen, click the box marked 'Please Remove'. This will remove it from public viewing, but not from law enforcement.

I definitely removed mine. I hope you do too.

Is this guy on crack?

"Democracy does not guarantee equality of conditions - it only guarantees equality of opportunity."

Irving Kristol (born January 22, 1920, Brooklyn, New York City, New York) is considered the founder of American neoconservatism. He is married to conservative author and emerita professor Gertrude Himmelfarb and is the father of William Kristol.

Neoconservatism is the political philosophy that emerged in the United States from the rejection of social liberalism and the New Left counter-culture of the 1960s. It influenced the Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and the George W. Bush presidential administrations, representing a re-alignment in American politics, and the defection of liberals to the right-hand side of the political spectrum. One accomplishment was "to make criticism from the Right acceptable in the intellectual, artistic, and journalistic circles where conservatives had long been regarded with suspicion." Neoconservatism emphasizes foreign policy as paramount responsibility of government, seeing the need for the U.S. acting as the world's sole superpower as indispensable to establishing and maintaining global order.

Henry Alfred Kissinger...

"The great tragedies of history occur not when right confronts wrong but when two rights confront each other."

I had no idea...

Friedrich Engels
(November 28, 1820 – August 5, 1895)

Engels was a German social scientist and philosopher, who developed communist theory alongside his better-known collaborator, Karl Marx, co-authoring The Communist Manifesto (1848). Engels also edited the second and third volumes of Das Kapital after Marx's death.

AN OUNCE OF ACTION IS WORTH A TON OF THEORY.

Yesterday, while reading Finding Water by Julia Cameron, I was struck by this quote and wanted to know more about its author. All this time I thought that Karl Marx was a solo act, in his writings at least if not in his ideals. Isn't it interesting how history is written. Or not, as the case may be. Until stumbling upon his words, I'd never even heard of Friedrich Engels... who knew!

Thank you, Alison, of The Brocante Home Chronicles! Your timing is perfect!

Tomorrow Is A New Day

"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense..." --Ralph Waldo Emerson.
