Dr. Steven Barrett on Chiropractic

Barrett runs Quackwatch, and here's a nice slide show and talk on Chiropractic. I'm not a doctor, nor do I play one on TV, so all I can say is that most days, my drive to get coffee takes me within 50 feet or so of a Chiropractic office, and that's as close as I ever intend to get to one. Your mileage may vary.

The animals are revolting

Admittedly some are cute as well. The stories below are all from a single day's look at UPI's odd news (plus one from the Reykjavik Grapeline, via Dave Barry's blog:)

• A sheepdog has sold in the UK for in excess of $13,000.
  
• Prairie dog burrows in Colorado have Obama and Rommney signs posted.
  
• A raving lunatic member of PETA wants a sign to memorialize dead fish.
  
• In Indiana, a horse is painting. (Here's a CNN link with video.)
  
• And in Iceland, the police break up a cat party. ("That's not MY catnip!")
  

Oh, in other news, there was a storm somewhere. It's over now. Back to business as usual.

Decline and fall

The chump Apple executive responsible for the maps fiasco is being run out of town on a rail let go for, rumor has it, not so much the fiasco itself as refusing to sign the company's apology. He was the iOS chief and, again, according to rumor, is going to charged with crimes against humanity by the International Court for sullying Apple's saintly reputation.

They also booted their retail guy, too.

And while all this goes on, Microsoft tries to excite the world with yet another version of Windows. World: huh? Who? Microwhat?
