 Dear Friend and Reader:WHATEVER may be the political consequences of today's Super Bowl Tuesday, I am marveling at how intellectually vapid the whole process is. It took the Onion to make it vivid and, indeed, beautiful. Three of their recent videos have cast the presidential race in something of its true light. Here they are: Mysterious Traveler Entrances Town With Utopian Vision Of The Future As Obese Population Rises, More Candidates Courting The Fat Vote Poll: Bullshit Is Most Important Issue For 2008 Voters My favorite detail is the barber pole in the "Mysterious Traveler" one. The art directing, scripting and acting on these things are impeccably well done. Besides that, I don't have much else to add. I will leave that to Judith Gayle in her Political Waves column, and Steve Bergstein in his Psychsound column. Well, looking at Psychsound, Steve seems to be in rock critic mode today, but I'm sure he'll think of something to say about the election. I plan to be back this evening. Enjoy this strange, suspended day on the edge of a solar eclipse, with Mercury dancing with the Sun, Neptune and Chiron.  Mike Brown, the discoverer of Eris and professor at Caltech, tells the world why he loves astrologers. In "Notes from the Technosphere," Kirsti Melto and Eric Francis look at the solar eclipse coming on Feb. 7, and its many themes involving computers and digital technology. Plus, each Friday edition includes the Eric Francis weekly horoscope, unavailable anywhere else online. The Aquarius birthday report will be available Monday. It's available as part of Planet Waves Astrology News, or will be sold separately for $9.95 (ordering details Monday).

Eric has also posted his annual...interior decorating horoscope, the annual edition of Inner Space. Both Inner Space and Planet Waves are now available as part of Small World Stories, the 2008 annual horoscope edition.
Last Week in Planet Waves Astrology News: Pluto in Capricorn Pluto arrived in Capricorn for the first time since the 18th century last Friday. What are the implications of this? Eric Francis looks at the connection between the planet of intense obsession and the sign of corporations and politics. In his article "We Have Met the Enemy," he declares that our real concern is not the One World Government but rather a seemingly harmless predator most often seen on road signs. Plus the weekly horoscope, Mars stations direct, Mercury stations retrograde and more. To get this edition, subscribe to Planet Waves Astrology News.
