AK 47s on small town streets

At the June 11, 2012 meeting of the Birmingham, Mi. City Commission, A group of eight year olds with wooden rifles on their shoulders single filed into the room.  Oh wait.  They were GROWN men entering a public meeting place,  where all ages were in attendance, carrying loaded, we presume, sidearms, rifles and an AK 47.  Why?  Because one teenager recently decided to challenge the system by walking the local streets with his new rifle, loaded.  Did he cause concern? You betcha.  The police came.  Did the teen cooperate when stopped and questioned?  Apparently not.  And that is why these roaming men were parading the streets of Birmingham, to protest a stranger carrying a loaded rifle amongst all the downtown shoppers and walkers and refusing to show  identification.  I wonder if this Constitutionally minded teen is register to vote??  And yes.  The gun toters were given their free speech rights.  Its on camera folks!   .........marge

Da hairy monster!

When baseball season is officially over,  there might be an 'open call'  from Hollywood.  An updated movie series from the '40's' may be in the making,  starring..........   a Lon Chaney Jr. 'look alike'.  Qualified players may apply whether they won the World Series or not................marge

To sing or not to sing. That is the question.

I was watching a short commercial showing a singer on one of those singing contest shows.  I just don't comprehend the new way (to me) of singing.  Obviously its popular but not my cup of tea.  (I know, I'm showing my age).  Kate Smith, Perry Como, where are you?   I am convinced, by observation, that many of these vocalist, while performing,  are trying to show that they can A.,  have a baby or B.,  pass a kidney stone while standing and bending forward............marge

Channel 2 Detroit.

Again, at least one local news channel has chosen to remind the public that a terrible assault was committed, not by a real family member, according to them,  but an adopted family member.  What is your point??  An adopted child is not really yours?  People shouldn't adopt children because 'adopted' children are more apt to commit a violent crime?  Not giving actual birth to the child that is yours has absolutely no bearing on anything and should not be included in any story!  I truly believe you hurt so many good people by your thoughtless assessment of 'family'.........marge

Wondering again....

Why  don't ants bump into each other when scrambling about.  AND...FYI.........Samuel Morse did NOT invent the Morse Code.   He invented the apparatus upon which to send it.........marge

Seriously.

I know where it goes and could do it in the dark. So why do I step in front of the mirror to apply deodorant? I may have mentioned it before but most of the people eating cereal in TV commercials seem to be left handed. Should be only 10%. Finally. I watch just a FEW soaps. They do a lot of crying in the 'soaps'. Have you yet to see anyone blowing their nose or wiping their eyes with a Kleenix, hanky or anything? I take that back. I do believe I've seen them use the back of their hand..........marge
