    NatGeo bites the dust

    No, it's still around but...the "properties" of the National Geographic Society have been acquired by 21st Century Fox.

    Here's the cover of December issue:

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    I had a good chuckle when I read Tom the Dancing Bug this morning. Bolling tends to be very liberal, even so, sometimes he nails it -- and this was one of those times.

    Now, just wait until this gets posted Over Yonder. The Usual Suspects will believe it's true (just see that thread about Baoefeng allegedly bringing THP back... almost shocking how many have missed the acronym formed from the "Factual Amateur Radio Technology Services" name... see http://forums.qrz.com/index.php?thre...design.493675/ )

    I posted that Baufeng SDR nonsense here, a long time ago. The spoofiness was ignored. Heheheh!

    Well, it looks like Nat Geode went in the same trash basket as the New Jork Crimes did years before. Does anybody have a match?

    It takes a while for The Usual Suspects to catch up.

    And even longer for them to catch on.
