AS ALWAYS, we find lots to talk about even when it seems like there’s not much to talk about. We just passed the summer solstice, and we’re watching the skies (figuratively speaking) for news from Mars, news of Planet X, and news of black holes — possibly here on Earth.<\/p>\n

We also note that the movers and shakers of the Western world gathered two weeks ago in suburban Washington, D.C., curiously out of the limelight. Among the invitees to the annual Bilderberg Group meetings in Chantilly, Virginia were two members of the president’s cabinet, two former U.S. Secretaries of State, the chief executives of the central banks of the U.S. and the E.U., the current and two former presidents of the World Bank, the governors of Kansas and South Carolina, the head of Barack Obama’s vice president search team, the CEO of Google, and the queens of Spain and Holland.<\/p>\n

Did you hear anything about this meeting in the news? No, we didn’t, either. Even though the CEO of the Washington Post Company and the editorial page editor for the Wall Street Journal<\/em> were there, too.<\/p>\n
