Moscow, Russia. Our crack reporter, Boyd I. Fuller attended a meeting in Moscow Tuesday morning. Fuller reported, “There was a lot of yelling and pointing by some angry guy. The crowd responded with more yelling and cheering. When the meeting was done the crowd angrily marched out of the building and down the street. Boy oh boy, were they mad.”

Kenosha, Wisconsin. Sarah P. Needles is preparing an in-depth report about an extraordinary woman who has the powers of prognostication. The Spurious Nib is excited to present to our loyal readers an excerpt:
“Miss Parthena Bergere Bleue is no ordinary young woman! Having observed her over the course of three hours this reporter can assure avid readers of the Spurious Nib of the strength of the fair young lass’s sincerity and kindness to all of Divinity’s felines. Miss Bleue has a strong scent…of mysterious devices so amazing one can only hope that to live into mystic vision she paints with surety.
Miss Parthena modeled one of her ethereal visions. ‘My outfit is but a humble representation. The head-dress represents humankind’s ability tap into invisible clouds of knowledge, the box is a sight apparatus.’ Parthena swayed, eyes fixed upon the netherworld where she described clouds containing vast volumes of books and writings from all four corners of the globe and even strange moving feline images from Japan. Miss Bleue has been inspired to take in more cats in hopes of obtaining clearer visions of future wonderments. Meanwhile she uses her ethereal head dress to dry her cat's socks while she is out jaunting about the city.”
