ATS Weekly: Edition 022

Is There a Santa Claus?
As a group ATS members pride themselves on matters related to either corroborating or
debunking the existence of enigmatic subjects. Based on evidence, common sense, and generally
exhaustive Internet searches to support their points, ATS members can be counted on to cut the
wheat from the chaff in their undying efforts to bring clarity and validation to the table of
verification. It is in this light I offer scientific validation - not to mention heartwarming
corroboration - to the existence of Santa Claus. As a parent, big brother or sister, you will be able
to point to ATS as the group who irrefutably and scientifically proved the existence of Santa
Claus. After all, as the Trans-Siberian Orchestra song, An Old City Bar, says, " . . . inside of this
night it is easier to believe." I leave you now to consider the following with not only an open mind
but more importantly an open heart.
News of the Weird
Whether a statue of the Virgin Mary is crying or not, there is no denying the star power of the Madonna. In southeast Sacramento County, an outdoor
statue of Mary has become the center of attention at the humble Vietnamese Catholic Martyrs Church. Since late November, believers have come to view
the statue, which has a red streak running from the corner of its left eye. A priest wiped the streak away Nov. 9, but when it reappeared Nov. 20,
many viewed it as tears of blood being shed.
