DO TUBE-TYPE AMPLIFIERS REALLY SOUND BETTER?
I have been curious about vintage tech lately. I got into vinyl, and agree that it can sound better than digital in many cases. I have sought out and listened to digitized versions of quadraphonic recordings from the 1970s. I enjoyed them and wish they would re-release them all in some form. My latest curiosity has been tube-type amplifiers. Many online insist that they sound so much better than solid-state amplifiers that there is really no comparison. Are they just romanticizing old-fashioned things, or are they on to something?

TRUMP TO QUARTER SOLDIERS FOR MILITARY PARADE
You have probably seen the news that Donald Trump wants a military parade to honor him on his 79th birthday. The event is to be held June 14 which coincides with the 250th Anniversary of The Army. It is expected to cost between 25 and 45 million taxpayer dollars to stage.
How to stage all the vehicles the parade would involve is just one of the logistical problems this plan faces. The roughly 6600 soldiers, officers, bands and more who would be involved would not be able to just fly in and fly out on the same day. They will need places to stay. There are not enough hotels to accommodate even a fraction of them. It has been reported elsewhere that Lt. Colonels and even Colonels will be expected to sleep on cots. Only Generals will be entitled to comfortable accommodations. As for the lower ranking officers and enlisted men, Trump plans to quarter soldiers in local homes. This would be a violation of the Third Amendment.

BEIJING'S RUMORED EARTHQUAKE MACHINE IS REAL
Rumors have been swirling for years that the Chinese were developing a horrific weapon of mass destruction: A machine that can cause earthquakes. It is no longer just a rumor, They have now used it twice. The rumors have stated that this device can attack over short ranges and long ranges by sending energy through the earth itself to any target, making no place on the globe safe from attack. A short range attack struck Taiwan on April 3 causing a temblor of 7.2 on the Richter scale.

ALIENS ESCAPE HANGAR 18 AFTER TORNADO
On Wednesday, February 28, 2024 tornadoes struck southern Ohio including Dayton. Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and its museum were not spared. Damage was extensive. The National Weather Service describes it as a direct hit. Many historically significant aircraft were damaged, and may be beyond repair. While this is a sad development, it gets worse...

IS PUTIN THE THIRD ANTICHRIST?
Nostradamus, the 16th century French astrologer who many have considered a prophet, is said to have written of three antichrists. Those who interpret his writings to be true predictions say the first was Napoleon, the second was Hitler and the third is someone yet to appear who would come from the east. There has been chatter on the Internet since Putin invaded Ukraine that he is the one Nostradamus foresaw. While I personally do not put stock in such notions, many do, so I reached out to famed New Orleans psychic Madame Sophia LaRoque.

ALIENS ASSASSINATED KENNEDY
Many
records about the JFK assassination that were previously classified are now
available to the public. They were released by the National Archives first in
July of 2017, then in October, November and December. A new suspect has emerged
that previous theories had not considered, and it is something out of this
world.
On May 25, 1961 President John F. Kennedy gave a speech to a joint session of
Congress and said. "First, I believe that this nation should commit itself to
achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and
returning him safely to the earth...

WHAT WAR ON CHRISTMAS?
Right wing talk radio, Fox News and a lot of angry, foaming
at the mouth people egged on by them would have you believe that there is a war on Christmas.
They insist that the greeting, "Happy Holidays" is part of a plot to ban the
observance from public life. One of the targets of their rage has been
Starbucks. Apparently their cups in red and green, traditional Christmas colors,
aren't catering enough to Christmas lovers. I decided to visit a Starbucks store
myself. A real Starbucks store, not just the coffee aisle at a supermarket. Have
a look at what I found!
To please the anti-Christmas conspiracy, they blatantly
made a coffee called Holiday Blend. No, wait! They didn't at all. It is called
Christmas blend.

THAT FAST FOOD BURGER YOU ATE PROBABLY WAS NOT BEEF
Did
you enjoy the burger you just ate at your local fast food joint? Did you think
it was 100% USDA Certified Beef? It might not have been beef at all, but
Meatelle. What is that you ask? A new meat substitute the industry is adopting
that many will find alarming. I recently spoke to a representative of its
manufacturer, Substitech. I did not like what I heard.
"Meatelle is the wave of the future," says Mortimer A. Smith, a company Spokesman. "It does not require the raising and slaughter of livestock, nor the growing of crops, so it does not tax our overstretched supply of farmland. We manufacture it in a facility near Cincinnati Ohio, and ship it to our clients from there. A single site is all we need."
Manufacture? That seems a strange way to describe producing something people will eat...

HOW THE CUBS GOAT CURSE WAS BROKEN
I was
really surprised to see the Chicago Cubs win it all this year. After all, they
were supposed to be cursed, and had not even been there since the curse was put
on them in 1945. Back then, William "Billy Goat" Sianis who owned The Billy Goat
Tavern wanted to bring his mascot, a live billy goat named Murphy, into Wrigley
Field with him. They were kicked out because, in the words of Cubs owner P.K.
Wrigley "The goat stinks". Sianis became enraged and cursed his once beloved
Cubs. Not only would they lose the 1945 World Series to the Detroit Tigers, but
they would never be back to it. Never, until 2016 that is.
I wanted to learn more about what made this possible, so I contacted my favorite expert in the supernatural and paranormal, famed New Orleans psychic Madame Sophia LaRoque. She explained how it was made possible.

GET READY FOR HALLOWEEN
It is
almost time for Halloween, and our staff have lots of ideas to help you be
ready. First, you are probably asking "What candy should I hand out?" Here is
all you need. Smarties and Dum Dums have been packaged together. You can pass
judgment as you pass out treats. See a really well done costume or hear a really
clever turn of a phrase? Give Smarties to that kid! See a poorly done costume,
or worse, no costume at all? Hear something mindless? Here, kid. Dum Dums for
you! In most neighborhoods these days, expect to have Smarties left over.

AN OPEN LETTER TO STAN KROENKE
Dear
Mr. Kroenke;
I know you and the Rams are unhappy in St. Louis, and ready to move away. With
renovations to the Edward Jones Dome cancelled, and the ultimatum that playing a
home game In London would constitute a violation of your lease, who can blame
you? But I must ask you to consider whether Los Angeles is really the place to
go. Instead of that, bring the Rams back to their original home on the coast of
Lake Erie; Cleveland Ohio.
...You may say that we already have a team, but they barely qualify as a
professional football club, and aren't the real Browns anyway.

ELF ON THE SHELF SELLS SURVEILLANCE STATE TO OUR KIDS
There
is a recently invented trend its pitchmen hope to make a tradition, The Elf on
the Shelf. He is a scout who will report back to Santa Claus whether children
have been naughty or nice. Is this just an innocuous little add-on to the legend
of St. Nicholas? Hardly! The Elf on the Shelf is designed to make current and
future generations of American children used to being watched at all times. It
is a plot from Big Brother to make the surveillance state seem normal.
...They have a goal of making us forget about privacy and personal security, and it has nothing to do with protecting us from crime or terrorism. It is only about power. They invented this diabolical little imp they would have children believe is one of Santa's Helpers. Do not be fooled.

GOOGLE BUILDING ARMY OF KILLER ROBOTS
Google's
alleged motto is "Don't be evil." They would have us believe that they are the
good guys, and don't intend to do any harm. I don't believe this hollow slogan.
They must be saying that with fingers crossed behind their backs, as a recent
patent filing reveals a plot that is evil on par with any Hollywood or comic
book madman, hell-bent on world domination ... Google has been obsessed with
robotics in recent years, buying out companies like Boston Dynamics, the makers
of the BigDog and Atlas robots, and any patent they can find related to robots.
Google has even started a program where inventors who want to sell their patents
can easily pitch them called the patent purchase promotion.
Patrick Moorhead, an analyst with Moor Insights & Strategy says "Google is
building a stash of patents, like an arms dealer collects weapons." This quote
is very telling.

SURVEY SHOWS THOSE AVOIDING GLUTEN DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS
"Gluten Free" is the current craze among shoppers seeking healthier food, but what does that mean? Do people really know? This was the subject of a survey recently done by The Helvetica Institute. Surveyors asked hundreds of people in grocery stores and on the street two questions: "Are you avoiding gluten in your diet?", and "What is gluten?"
"Gluten? I don't know what it is, but all my girlfriends tell me it's bad so I ain't having none of that." said a women who declined to give the surveyor her name.

MADAME SOPHIA LAROQUE REPUDIATES NEW ZODIAC
I was
curious about the "New Zodiac" and "New Astrology" that has the Internet buzzing
lately. Though my managing Editor, M. Grant Winston laughed at me, and I had to
plead with him to do this story, I got it done. I went to New Orleans to ask
famous seer, Madame Sophia LaRoque what she thought.
"Colleen, my darling, there is nothing new about this so-called new astrology.
Sidereal or Eastern Astrology has been around over a century. I do not
understand why people want to hear about it all so suddenly." She went on to
say, "This thirteenth sign, Ophiuchus or "The Serpent Bearer" has no bearing on
people. Feel free to ignore it."

WAL-MART WANTS TO BANKRUPT THE GIRL SCOUTS
Do
you look forward every year to Girl Scout Cookies? I know I do. Tagalongs and
especially Thin Mints are irresistibly delicious. I must have them! When some
people jokingly refer to Thin Mints as cookie crack, I get it. Wal-Mart is now
making rip-offs of those two great cookie recipes. They will be sold under the
Great Value line, and will probably be cheaper than the genuine article. Buy
them, and the money goes to an evil mega-corporation sending jobs to China, and
selling American consumers dangerous and lead-tainted Chinese products, not to a
charitable organization that has helped raise our daughters to be good citizens
for generations.

HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS CONFUSED ABOUT MOON LANDING
A
poll was recently taken just before the end of the past school year about the
upcoming fortieth anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. I met a student who
thought he knew about it, and even gave a presentation to his class. He repeated
the presentation for me...
"The Moon Landing. Back in the hippie days of the sixties, not everyone was protesting and getting high. We actually put two men on the moon. That was real cool!...Their names were Stretch Armstrong and Buzz Lightyear."
