A break from news on oil spills and bombings

As it might look, this was a last minute photo.

The Onion is a weekly satirical newspaper. I read it online for years and never even thought of it as being available in print. BUT, here in New York, it's one of the free papers in the boxes on the corners. I pick it up every week and it floats around our apartment as we both read it. The first half is fake news stories and the second half is interviews and reviews of mostly music and movies. One of my favorite sections is the horoscopes. They are dark and witty, and nothing like "real" horoscopes. Some of the videos on the Onion website are hilarious and worth a few minutes for the laughs.

Some horoscopes from this week's Onion:
Capricorn
You never thought you'd end up a billionaire, living in a palatial mansion, and jet-setting around the world. So it's no real disappointment, when you don't.
Aquarius
Your lucky compound modifiers for this week are: long-term, hard-fought and military-history.
Pisces
Lately it seems like nobody respects your feelings, but why don't you just shut up for a second and let the stars worry about it.
