From Tatsuya Ishida, author of Sinfest:

“I believe most Americans voted for John Kerry. I believe the exit polls that indicated a massive Kerry landslide. I believe Americans saw through the Republican propaganda machine and rejected it. I believe the heart and core of America is guided by a deeper and better wisdom than what the cynics tell us. All interpretations of this so-called Bush victory brand us as cowards, bigots, or idiots. I don’t believe their analysis. I don’t believe their results. I don’t believe that gender panic and “moral values” caused Americans to vote for more war, more torture, more corporate power. I don’t believe Americans turned their backs on the world. I don’t believe Americans care only about American casualties. I don’t believe we have closed our hearts to the suffering of others. I believe Americans have a capacity for compassion and generosity, for heroism and self-sacrifice that puts to shame all the warmongering and fearmongering of the current regime. I believe the great legacy of 9/11 was the immediate sense of community and connectedness and willingness to understand the rage against America. I believe that glimpse of universal brotherhood, not the march to war, was the true face of humanity. This is my article of faith. This is my faith-based opinion. This is my gut instinct.
-T. “

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): According to tradition, St. Blaise is the patron saint of throats. During his feast day, which is celebrated this week, you’re supposed to bless that part of your body. Even if you’re not Catholic, I highly recommend that you partake in this observance. From an astrological perspective, you Tauruses have a special relationship with the throat. It’s a source of power and grace for you, more so than for any other sign, and you should always jump at any excuse to honor it. Want some suggestions? Get a neck massage. Drink delicious elixirs. Sing songs that make you feel potent. Say what you mean and mean what you say. Invite a good kisser to demonstrate his or her skill all over that magic part of your anatomy.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): For two years running, Little Yellow Jacket has been voted Bull of the Year by the rodeo circuit’s top bull riders. During a five-year career, the 1,750-pound beast has bucked off 85 percent of his riders in an average of 2.8 seconds. No one has stayed on for longer than 8 seconds. I’ve selected him to be your power animal in the coming weeks, Taurus. You have a mandate to avoid being rounded up, roped, or ridden by anyone, even if you have to snort and foam at the mouth as Little Yellow Jacket does during his performances. “He has the kind of heart, desire, and athletic ability that true champions in any walk of life possess,” says his owner. All you need to succeed at your assignment are the first two of those qualities.
