"The Underpants"
February 8, 2010
Over the years I have had many of Frabutt students. Of course, the mother of the clan is Cynthia. Now the reason I use the word "clan" is because Cynthia is a true Scotts woman. Being Scottish myself I'm a little jealous of the talent their family has.
Over the years Cynthia has been one of the local theater icons in Dearborn and Dearborn Heights. So take a look at what they're up to and I guarantee you that this will be a good show if Cynthia has anything to do with it.

Chris Matthew's Tingle
February 2, 2010
I watch Chris Matthews on cable quite frequently, just to find out what this dyed in the wool Democrat and Ex-Democratic staffer has to say about the state of our nation.
Chris, of course, is a Washington Elitist and lives well. Several times he has been very excited when he spoke of President Obama. You will recall him saying that he got a tingle up his leg when President Obama was elected. And now he has put his real racist cap on when he was speaking of President Obama state of the union speech and said, “I forgot he was black tonight.” So much for our elitist news caster on MSNBC and his hidden racism. Typical elitist, typical. Shame on Chris Matthews.
Here is Chris Matthews getting another tingle with Ellen Degeneres
The Gift
January 26, 2010
The other day, my assistant, Jennifer and I were listening to President Obama give his speech in Ohio. We noticed that the President likes to use the personal pronoun “I” a great deal. In fact, we counted in a matter of about six minuets that he had used the word “I” thirty six times as he referred to himself. I guess that is what you would call a Big Ego.
The other interesting thing is that he told a Democratic Congressman, who was retiring, that Democrats should have no fear because they have "him", Obama. Well, so much for modesty.
And now to some slang.
When I was growing up using the term, “the Gift”, meant that you had the ability to talk your way out of just about anything. The President, when he first took office, made the statement to some newspaper people that he had the Gift. And of course they assumed “the Gift” was his eloquent speaking abilities, but to me it always meant that he knew how to talk his way out of anything. Well, it seems like that is,President Obama’s "Gift".
Politicians, Can You Hear Me?
January 20, 2010
Scott Brown’s incredible win in Massachusetts last night hopefully will open the eyes, ears, and hearts of our elected politicians both Democrats and Republicans. So let me say this:
Senator Levin, it is not the Levin seat, it is not the Democratic Party’s seat; it is the people’s seat.
Senator Stabenow, it is not the Stabenow seat, it is not the Democratic Party’s seat; it is the people’s seat.
Congressman John Dingell, it is not the Dingell seat. It is not the Democratic Party’s seat; it is the people’s seat.
Lady and gentlemen, wake up. Political parties had better get back to the people and not to the established lobbyists and bureaucratic elites who infect Washington DC.
Transparency?
January 15, 2010
I don't know about you, but I am losing faith in President Obama, his Democratic Party, and Government in general.
Eight times the President said that there would be transparency on health care by having C-span open to all of the deliberations. President Obama, Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi dance around the promise and give us one hour of transparency while the rest of that bill is hacked out and scammed out behind closed doors.
Take a look.

Hero from Amsterdam
December 26, 2009
The passenger who tackled a suspected terrorist on Northwest Airlines Flight 253 said Saturday that he’s “happy” to be alive.
Jasper Schuringa, a video director and producer from Amsterdam, told CNN how he helped the cabin crew to subdue Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the 23-year-old who reportedly ignited a small explosive device on board the plane Friday as it prepared to land in Detroit.
Schuringa said he heard a sound that reminded him of a firecracker and someone yelling, “Fire! Fire!”
But he was only certain something was wrong when he saw smoke. He saw Abdulmutallab's pants open and he was holding a burning object between his legs.
"I pulled the object from him and tried to extinguish the fire with my hands and threw it away," Schuringa said.
He said he then screamed for water and pulled Abdulmutallab out of his seat and dragged him to the front of the plane.
Schuringa told CNN that Abdulmutallab seemed out of it and "was staring into nothing."
To ensure the suspect did not have other explosives on his body, Schuringa stripped off Abdulmutallab's clothes. He then handcuffed the alleged attacker with the help of a crew member.
Schuringa said the other passengers applauded as he returned to his seat and that he sustained minor injuries during the take down.
"My hands are pretty burned. I am fine," he said. "I am shaken up. I am happy to be here."
And your fellow travelers are happy you were there as well Mr. Schuringa.
America Thanks you, Mr Schuringa

merry christmas
December 18, 2009
Well, I've had it with all the stores and catalogs and their dancing around avoiding the words "Merry Christmas". I don't even know if they call a Christmas tree a Christmas tree anymore!
Quite frankly, I'm tired of any minority dictating to the majority. When I was growing up majority rule was the regulation. Today it seems that we have everything tail backwards.
As far as I'm concerned it is Merry Christmas that should be on the cards and in the stores. I think 86% of Americans are Christians so this is a Christian holiday. I'll give you any other holiday you want and say Happy Hanukkah, Happy Ramadan, or even Happy Obama Day.
So if you are politically correct and you want to disagree with me bring it on because, I will just ignore you.
