A Pain in the Astrological Chart and Other News

You’ll have to excuse me, I’ve been busy lately, what with these new zodiac signs and all. Ever since that story in the Minneapolis Star-Tribune came out that says the moon's gravitational pull "wobbled" the earth's rotation, creating a one-month bump in the star alignment, I’ve been all screwed up. After spending my whole life as a Scorpio, now I have to switch to being a Libra. Great! So all of a sudden I have to stop being “passionate, intense, jealous and volatile,” and start acting “compassionate and loving.” That sucks! Uhhh, I mean, yeah, sorry astrologists, I know this change must be really hard on you, too. Here, let me fluff your pillow for you – and SMOTHER YOU WITH IT! TAKE THAT, STUPID STAR JUMBLERS …. I mean, here, let me help you. Put your feet up and relax. Can I bring you anything? Pop tarts? Some hot cocoa, perhaps? I’LL THROW IT IN YOUR STUPID FACE YOU LOUSY TAROT-TURNING GOONS! … There, there, just sit back and relax WHILE I CRAM YOUR STUPID MOON CHART UP URANUS!!!
Well, you get the point. I’ve been a bit confused. So let’s take a look at what we’ve missed the past few days while I’ve been wrestling with my star alignment changes. Here are some of the latest stories from the news wires:
