Federally Accredited Occultist Bunk

The Astrological Institute in Scottsdale, Ariz., wins accreditation from the federally recognized Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges of Technology, paving the way for Education Department approval of federal grants and loans for its students, the Associated Press reports:

Neil deGrasse Tyson, an astrophysicist who heads the Hayden Planetarium in New York, noted astrology was discredited 600 years ago with the birth of modern science. "To teach it as though you are contributing to the fundamental knowledge of an informed electorate is astonishing in this, the 21st century," he said.

I just bopped in to see what was up. I've been washing windows today. We have a walk out basement so the windows in the back are up about 10' in the air. They are 42" x 7'. I built an 18" wide catwalk off the deck to be able to wash them. That catwalk seems a lot narrower now than it did 18 years ago.
