HOROSCOPES
ARIES Your newfound status is
leading you to meet new friends as
well. Select the ones to trust from the
standards you learned as a child at
home.
TAURUS Continue to solicit advice
from a person who’s already got
whatever it is you’re trying to achieve,
acquire or become. It’s time well
spent.
GEMINI Keep working overtime to
get the extra cash. By this weekend
you’ll have time and money for a
jaunt.
CANCER You’re good at saving
money, but you might be going about
it the hard way. Get expert advice.
LEO A very imaginative person has
everything figured out. Don’t go
along with the program if it won’t be
good for you.
VIRGO You’ve learned a great deal
from books and at school, but the real
test comes when you try these new
skills out on the public. Don’t worry
— you’ll do fine.
LIBRA Some people have to work
harder to make more money. The
opposite is true for you. You’ll make
more when the job’s fun and easy.
SCORPIO You have amazing abilities
to see the big picture now. Do that,
and don’t get stuck with a minor
problem.
SAGITTARIUS Your curiosity has
been aroused, or it will be very soon.
You’re about to launch another quest,
and this one will be fun.
CAPRICORN The coming few weeks
could be quite profitable for you
without much extra work. Another’s
generosity and your good past deeds
are the cause of this windfall.
AQUARIUS Accept a challenge that’s
similar to one you’ve done before.
Your experience will give you the edge
in capturing an illusive profit.
PISCES You’ve got the imagination,
somebody else has the experience.
Matched with another, who has the
energy, you cannot be stopped.

■ SIMPSONS
Continued from page 11
satire.”
Ned stands front and center in
Sunday’s edition of “The Simpsons”
when, in an unlikely collaboration with
Homer, he co-produces the Supet
Bowl halftime show as (what else?) a
biblical pageant. Homer portrays
Noah. The stadium is flooded from a
Duffs Beer blimp. Ned preaches the
Word. Take that, Janet Jackson.
(The episode follows Fox’s real-life
Super Bowl telecast, except in the Pacific
time zone, where it airs at 7 p.m.)
Ned answers the call of show biz
after seeing a sex-aid commercial foi
seniors and declaring, “There’s nothing
but filth on TV.” He seizes his
Guitar Show
With Original Booty Burglars
and Israel s Son, 7 p.m. New
Brookland Tavern, $7
camcorder and films a backyard
biblical drama: a bloody re-creation of
the story of Cain and Abel, with his
two young sons in the starring roles.
Homer’s wife, Marge, is troubled by
Ned’s “Passion of the Christ”-inspired
antics. “There’s more to the Bible than
blood and gore,” she says.
But Ned (voiced by Harry Shearer)
sneers in response, “I guess you’d rather
see a film about a liberal European
wizard school. Or the latest sexcapade
of Miss Ashley Judd.”
Ned’s cinematic crusade fizzles
when money man Mr. Burns
withdraws his backing. But a panic
stricken Homer - who was hired to
create the Super Bowl show, then can’t
think of anything to do - desperately
needs Ned to help him.
“Maybe,” says Ned, thrilled to get
this globe-spanning pulpit, “God
brought us together for a reason.”
Whatever the reason, Ned has been
a holier-than-thou thorn in Homer’s
side since the very first episode of “The
Simpsons” in 1989.
Homer still feels bedeviled by Ned’s
goody-two-shoes style, his glossy cheer,
his habit of injecting “diddly” into
things he says, like his chipper greeting,
“Hi-diddly-do!”
Mighty easy to see why Homer
would say, “I don’t care if Ned
Flanders is the nicest guy in the world -
he’s a jerk!”
This can only be a temporary
setback. These days, Ned represents the
nation’s ruling point of view. And what
of citizens who beg to differ with it?
Thank heaven “The Simpsons,” at
least, still guarantees them a laugh.
