Hades/Kronos Part III

The contact between Hades and Kronos was exact in orb in September. But they are both stationing and both slow moving points and as of November 3rd (the day of this writing) they are still only 13' away from each other. And, as you've probably already noticed, official miscreants still abound in the headlines. The inclusion of headlines of mudslinging among the candidates in this very dirty campaign season would have made the list much, much longer.

The mid-term election has been particularly nasty. There have been a number of campaign ads, which would certainly fall into the Hades/Kronos category. Had they been included, the list of headlines would have been much longer.

Also, the verdict in the Saddam Hussein trial, expected around November 5th, will certainly be symbolized by Hades/Kronos.
