Beware the general media trickery!

I heard on CNN this morning that Over the Hedge is supposed to pull in $30 million or so this weekend at the box office. The movie is based on the Over the Hedge comic strip, which we run on the comics page. It is a strip that is usually on the "hated" comics lists that readers send to me. (The same readers who want Snuffy Smith and Mark Trail back.)

Given that the strip must appeal to some demographic, I find faith in my horoscope today: You see through the bad deals, half-truths and general media trickery (emphasis mine) you're faced with today. Though many have tried, none have succeeded in disturbing your unshakeable internal logic.

Yes, I do note that it says "unshakeable" not "inerrant."

Fred, even though it's a day later, I'm seeing through that half truth.
