Untrustworthy news

I think I can vouch for the veracity of the first item in this post; beyond that, you're on your own.

Webcast radio is under siege; diversity loses. Apparently we should look for "Enron: The Movie" soon. Speaking of things preposterous, NPR had a cute April Fools story today; a discussion (with interviews) of an Administration-proposed Pet Health Insurance Program. That one was obvious; this story about UK doctors treating animals may be a joke, but... And oh heck, who knows about this? "UK weather is good for you."

A few days ago I mentioned a new magazine devoted to microcontent (blogs, etc.) and posed the question "What the heck are microads?" If the original author had used hyphens properly, I need not have asked; he meant "micro-ads," text-based advertising.

We hope to return to serious blogging tomorrow,
Sincerely,
The Management

Our kitty boy had health insurance through Vetsmart. Even though he was a bit of a geezer when we got him we were able to sign him up. It saved us a bundle.
