Huey: Okay, horoscopes...let's see...here I am... Caesar: What's it say? Huey: "Your efforts to deliver the world from the corrupt grasp of those in powerwill only leave you a broken and bitter individual, incapable of seeing the beauty and joys of life. "And while your paranoia does not necessarily mean they aren't out to get you,finding hobbies separate and apart from leftist radicalism will significantly improve your interactions with friends and family." Caesar: Weird how accurate those things can be sometimes, huh? Huey: What do you mean?

rumplesnitz, he’s a conspiracy theorist, strongly against everything right-wing (starting with G. W. Bush, and ending with the rest of the U.S. Federal Government) – how, exactly, could he be more left-wing?
My question, however, is this: Considering how much Huey prides himself on intellectual rigor, what’s he even reading the horoscope for in the first place?

pbarn, Thanks for that line. I’ve been desperate for years for something that pithy and persuasive! I hope I don’t owe you royalties because it’ll really add up.
