Marshmallow Farming
An evening pause: At first glance you might think this an April Fool’s piece, but it really isn’t. To be a good April Fool’s joke, you have to be fooled for at least a little while, something this does not do. What this video does do however is illustrate in an hilarious way the empty fake nature of television news. This is what they do normally, which has as much reality as this video.
Hat tip Jeff Poplin.
The support of my readers through the years has given me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Four years ago, just before the 2020 election I wrote that Joe Biden's mental health was suspect. Only in this year has the propaganda mainstream media decided to recognize that basic fact.
Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Even today NASA and Congress refuse to recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.

Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.

This reminds me of the BBC’s legendary story on Swiss spaghetti farmers, run on April 1, 1957.

Matt in AZ:
Good stuff!
from the article…
Spaghetti Harvest Haiku
“Three words in the news
Hint at untold suffering:
Spaghetti crop fails.”
I always wondered where those mythical American Marshmallows came from. I thought they were more like potatoes. By the way, this video is just like the daily “news” clips about global warming.
Matt in AZ: I posted the spaghetti farming story a few years ago here at BtB. No time now to search for it, but it is there as an April Fools evening pause.
In crazy Sweden, many news outlets skipped the April fools jokes this year. Saying that they don’t want to confuse people with fake news. Leftists don’t have any sense of humor. I suppose that is too individualistic for them. They are just zombies pretending to be important.
There are some hilarious clips from the Martha Stewart Show of various April Fool’s day skits she presented.

They should use this video to apply for disaster relief. Lindsey Graham will lobby for it!
THIS IS NO APRIL FOOLS JOKE:
HOW DESPERATE THE DEMOCRATS?
Democrats are beginning to realize that their time is almost up and will now begin to propose strategies to counter their coming losses.

Lowering the voting age to 16 years old, what do you think of this proposal?
Why not 12 years of age?
Anything to acquire or retain power, anything.
