MAN ACCUSED OF THREATENING SOO EVENING NEWS
stop giggling...I'm not kidding...This is serious....
(oddly that's the same phrase my mother used when she tried to tell me about the birds and the bees...)

(that alone is ......silly beyond conception....However, as always...It gets better....)
Police are trying to figure out the motive behind a man's threats towards
a Sault Ste. Marie newspaper.  They say he pretended to have a gun while threatening the Soo Evening News Wednesday morning.
(He was yelling at a vending machine and a stack of the paper!)
 Police arrested James Jollineau.  They say he left the evening news building, but made more
threats to someone else before being arrested in a nearby alley.  When he got to jail, he tried to hit an officer. 
While the motive is still unclear, police say alcohol may have been a factor.
(ya think?)
Police say they did not find a gun.
(However they did find some issues of the Tuesday Soo Evening News that was sneering at people and making rude remarks...So clearly it had it coming).

  As long as the dirndl's and bloomencrans are safe we can all breathe easy!

(???.....................And this is news in Northern Michigan.....Try the veal, I'm here all week....)

Ah....Home....

This was in the same email, sent to me- formatted this way.
Okay, so you had one about budget cuts for law enforcement (which I am not sending to my daughter because I want her to investigate coming home to live) and then these two, and they are laid out exactly how they were laid out in the email....

Now, what gets me is, I wonder if they read these before they send them out?

MICHIGAN'S FILM MAKING TAX CREDIT ENDANGERED BY BUDGET WOES
A film making tax credit has helped bring Hollywood to Michigan, but it's
costing the state millions of dollars in lost revenue.  Now, the program
is an easy target as lawmakers struggle fill a huge budget deficit.  One
local filmmaker says it would be a severe blow if the state eliminated the
program, and State Representative Wayne Schmidt says the film credit
program has been too successful to cut.  The state faces an estimated $1.5
billion budget deficit.

TRAVERSE CITY FILM FESTIVAL STARTS WITH A BANG
It's day two of the Traverse City Film Festival and things are already off
to a great start.  Last night's opening ceremonies took place downtown
with some words from founder Michael Moore and a block party on Front
Street.  Many people we talked to traveled for hours to make it up for the
week.  That's testimony to what Michael Moore had to say about ticket
sales.  They're up 25% over day one last year, with the festival almost
sold out.  There was also a 40% increase in sponsorship this year. As for
the free movies held every night at the open space, you can catch "Close
Encounters of the Third Kind" tonight.  "Hair" is Thursday night's movie,
followed by "The Goonies" on Friday, and "Big" on Saturday.  Seating is on
a first come, first served basis and begins each night at 7:00.

I don't try to make sense of my life here, I figure everyone else must feel about the same way about bout's of this, right?
Or they are the ones in the stories....And they too, don't know why things are the way they are.

LIGHTNING SPARKS INTENSE APARTMENT FIRE IN GAYLORD
A lightning strike is being blamed for an intense fire in Gaylord.
Firefighters are still on the scene this morning where an apartment
building is now destroyed. The Alpine Haus complex caught fire last night
and the flames spread fast. The roof caved in as fire tore through the
complex. Firefighters say three of four wings of the apartment complex
are destroyed. It was a difficult fire for nine departments to fight,
between the size of it and the wind. Everyone managed to make it out of
safely. Firefighters will be on the scene until later today.

FOUR WORKERS REMAIN IN HOSPITAL AFTER LIGHTNING STRIKE
A lightning strike is also the reason four electrical workers are still in
the hospital this morning, and why their job site is now closed in Mecosta
County. The workers from J. Ranck Electrical Company were working on an
underground project at Ferris State University in Big Rapids Wednesday
morning. When it started to rain, the men tried to take cover, but not
before lightning hit a tree near the site. Two are in stable condition at
Mecosta Medical Center, while the other two were taken to Grand Rapids.
The site will remain closed until MIOSHA says it's safe to continue
working.

COPS & DOUGHNUTS GAINING INTERNATIONAL ATTENTION
"Cops and doughnuts" isn't just a punchline anymore. Now, the Clare
bakery is gaining attention beyond northern Michigan, it's gone
international. Tuesday, the nine City of Clare police officers who bought
the bakery last month celebrated its official grand opening. The officers
bought the 113 year-old bakery because they didn't want another empty
storefront in their town. Playing on the stereotype landed the officers
in news stories across the globe and brought worldwide attention. Local
businesses say the shop has caused foot traffic to go up and they're
getting many more tourists in the past few weeks.

Grandfather Disrespected In Own Home

July 22, 2009 | Issue 45•30


AKRON, OH—Though he is wise, benevolent, and the eldest male member of his family, grandfather Jerry Morgenthau, 74, was shown a degree of filial piety more fitting a dog or pig Tuesday when younger relatives disrespected him in his own home.


Reports indicate the retired steelworker and patriarch—who, unlike his insolent offspring, has cultivated great virtue in his time upon this earth—was ignored and patronized by his son's family throughout their brief visit.

Morgenthau's own firstborn child displayed unforgivable disobedience by smiling and nodding while dismissing his father's expert counsel on matters ranging from home maintenance to the best methods for attaining low-cost airfare to Florida.

"Okay, Dad," said Derek Morgenthau, who should be harshly chided for failing to glorify his ancestors.

In addition, Morgenthau's granddaughters, who owe him their very lives, blatantly lied to him while claiming they would "definitely" follow his advice and choose a college closer to home, as if they possessed one tenth—even one one-thousandth—the wisdom of this noble sage.

Hello, friends! What's new? Last night I watched the ball game and had a few drinks at a local bar. Nothing too out of the ordinary for me. Boy, what a day today, though—so slow! Might be nice to chat for a while, as friends, and just casually share some gossip, right? After all, I've been living here with you, blending in for, what, three years now? I'd say we've gained each other's trust. So, buddy, got anything on your mind? Any juicy, top-secret information you're dying to tell me?

I'm a really good listener.

Internet Adds 12th Website

July 21, 2009 | Issue 45•30


BEIJING—The World Wide Web, a device used solely for the enrichment of the nation and the advancement of lasting social stability, gained another website for the convenience of its users Monday, bringing the current number of existing Internet destinations to 12.


SeedStore.com, the latest site to burst into cyberspace after taking the Public Pledge On Self-Discipline, offers users a variety of quality flower and vegetable seeds at excellent prices. With its helpful tips, special discounts on bulk orders, and glowing praise of government agencies, SeedStore.com provides everything online shoppers need without forcing them to sift through pernicious and unimportant so-called information that jeopardizes state security and disturbs national unity.

According to news source NYTimes.com—the 10th website, which did not exist before December 2008, no matter what many treasonous and deceptive search engines claim—an estimated 1.5 billion people currently use the Internet's 12 web pages.

THIEVES TARGET MECOSTA COUNTY RESTAURANT

Deputies need your help finding whoever broke into a Mecosta County
restaurant and got away with money and food.  It happened at Munchies, on
M-20 in Mecosta late Friday or early Saturday.

Okay, the whole idea of calling it Munchies, begs for someone doing drugs to come and break in.....

Deputies say someone got
in by breaking out a window and once inside, they say thieves took an
undisclosed amount of money.
( $1.89 ???? )
 Anyone with any information on the break-in
should call police.

Sorry it's hard to take you seriously when you call yourself "munchies".

IDIOT SIGHTING:
We had to have the garage door repaired. The Sears repairman told us that one of our problems was that we did not have a "large" enough motor on the opener... I thought for a minute, and said that we had the largest one Sears made at that time, a 1/2 horsepower. He shook his head and said, "Lady, you need a 1/4 horsepower."  I said that 1/2 was larger than 1/4. He said, "NO, it's not. Four is larger than two."        

We haven't used Sears repair since.

IDIOT SIGHTING: 

 My daughter and I went through the McDonald's take-out window and I gave the clerk a $5 bill. Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her a quarter. She said, "you gave me too much money." I said, "Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar bill back."  She sighed and went to get the manager who asked me to repeat my request. I did so, and he handed me back the quarter , and said "We're sorry but they could not do that kind of thing." The clerk then proceeded to give me back $1 and 75 cents in change.

IDIOT SIGHTING :
I live in a semi rural area. We recently had a new neighbor call the local township administrative office to request the removal of the DEER CROSSING sign on our road. The reason: "Too many deer are being hit by cars out here!   I don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore."

IDIOT SIGHTING IN FOOD SERVICE :
My daughter went to a local Taco Bell and ordered a taco. She asked the person behind the counter for "minimal lettuce." He said he was sorry, but they only had iceburg lettuce.

Happened in Flint , MI .    

   

IDIOT SIGHTING :
The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it's safe to cross the street. I was crossing with an intellectually challenged coworker of mine. She asked if I knew what the buzzer was for. I explained that it signals blind people when the light is red.. Appalled, she responded, "What on earth are blind people doing driving?!"

She was a probation officer in Pontiac , MI .  

IDIOT SIGHTING :
At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear coworker. She was leaving the company due to "downsizing." Our manager commented cheerfully, "This is fun. We should do this more often." Not another word was spoken. We all just looked at each other with that deer-in-the-headlights stare

This was a lunch at  Beaumont Hospital , Royal Oak , MI .

HIGHLIGHTS OF ALPENFEST '09 IN GAYLORD
Contestants at this year's Alpenfest went for the gold -- or the goldfish,
rather.  The goldfish eating contest is one of the more competitive events
going on in Gaylord.  But don't worry, no real goldfish were harmed.
Crowds gathered as the contestants stuffed themselves to the gills with
containers upon containers of goldfish crackers.  Some chewed a few
crackers fast, while others just tried to shove them all down at once.  If
you're still hungry for some competition, there's a pizza eating contest
today.  And when it comes to selling merchandise at Alpenfest, vendors say
business is booming.  The booths line downtown selling items like dirndl's
and bloomencrans.  Other vendors not specifically geared toward Alpenfest,
like a make-your-own candle booth, are also filling up their cash
registers.  Business is expected to stay consistent through the end of the
week.

Today is day two of Alpenfest, and many festival-goers will be starting it
off without a single worry, thanks to the Burning of the Boog.  The
festival officially kicked off last night in Gaylord with the annual crowd
favorite.  People spent the day stuffing the Boog with problems and
worries.   And then the fire chief set it on fire, letting all those
worries go up in smoke.  Events scheduled for today include the Ladies
Ankles contest at 10:00, the Mens Knees contest at 11:00, a Soup Lunch at
12:00, the Chicken BBQ at 5:00 and the New Odyssey Concert at 8:00.
Alpenfest runs through Saturday.

UPDATE: alleged bank robber tried getting ride from undercover Saginaw Township detective
by Andy Hoag | The Saginaw News
Saturday July 11, 2009, 2:04 PM

Out of prison for just over three weeks, Mark E. White chose the wrong car to try to hitch a ride with on Wednesday.

Just two blocks from the Citizens Bank at 2815 E. Genesee in Saginaw that he allegedly robbed five minutes earlier, White, 50, flagged down Saginaw Township Detective Scott Jackson of the auto theft division for a ride.
Mark E. White

Jackson slowed his car enough to allow city patrol officer Ian Wegner enough time to provide backup, and a little more than three weeks after he was released from prison on parole, White was back in police custody.

Saginaw County District Judge Terry L. Clark on Friday arraigned White on a charges of bank robbery, making a false bomb threat, attempted carjacking, assault with intent to commit a felony and assault and resisting a police officer.

Clark set bond at $755,000 for White, who was in Saginaw County Jail.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled for July 24 before District Judge Kyle Higgs Tarrant.

LETTER: Jackson didn't have it in his heart to be cruel - The Morning Sun Opinion: Serving Clare, Gratiot and Isabella counties

Posted using ShareThis

What surprised me about this letter was that a lot of children of the eighties feel the same way about Michael Jackson; we can't say what happened to anyone under his care because we were not present. We did not personally meet him; we did not know him intimately. However, we felt we did because we saw him grow up in the media and in pop culture.

Bigger than that, we were those people who were- not only little brothers and sisters to hippies- but also some of us were the children of those same hippies. We were therefore prone to go ahead and be "out there" and do things not because we necessarily needed or believed in them but because they added "shock value" to our persona's. We did things that made us more interesting to speak to or know.

So he was- in many ways acceptable- to our ideals.

Yes, he sometimes he was touted as being "out there," and he was thought of as being a bit strange, however, it is not a stretch to believe that someone who didn't have a childhood would want to live or give an over the top childhood to himself- or any other child that simply needed to be a child for a time.

I am the child of a person that lived with a childhood lost.
My mother.
She was born at the advent of the great depression. She knows what hunger is, what it is like not to have toys, she knows what it was to have to grow up before she ever had a childhood, she knows what it is to be a mother to her own brothers and sisters out of necessity-before she was actually a mother herself.
She is the child of an abused mother and a violent, overbearing, alcoholic father.
She has no self-esteem. She is a shrinking violet in a sea of thorned roses and bright tulips and has a heart that can shatter like crystal with the slightest word from her husband and any one of her children or siblings. She wants peace at any price.
To the point it can be extremely annoying, because you want her to stand up for herself. But she won't and can't.
Like Michael Jackson, she would prefer to just make it go away instead of dealing head on with it.

If she could buy peace, she would.
She loves all children and tries to see the best in every child.
She went out of the way to give us the most wonderful childhood we could have within the reason of our father's income.
Like Michael Jackson's daughter, I, being the daughter of a wounded mourning dove, who sings so sadly and yet so beautifully, must say, my mother has been the best mother anyone could ever have, and I love her so very much.

So it's not a stretch to see that this kind of person could happen. And being placed in this time and in this society with such as Brittany Spears and her bald head, and people such as Marilyn Manson and the members of the band, KISS, I guess I can see where someone in that sphere of influence, who was like my mother, could become like Michael Jackson.
Only difference was that he was born male.


One time I was in my parent’s house and my mother was looking around and said to me, "Do you think I'm odd because I have all these toys?"
My mother has an assortment of stuff animals and Beanie Babies she has here and there throughout the house. It's not gaudy or trashy, they are in the guest room and in her room on her bed; and she gives them away to her grandchildren and any child really that might visit, from time to time.
I looked around and said, "Mom, you didn't have them as a child so you can have them as an adult...You can do anything you want with your money."
And it's true.
She can buy as many toys as she wishes. She's all grownup now.
She doesn't have to answer to anyone. I think that was what Michael Jackson wanted too, but he tried too hard maybe...I don't know, no one knows. The biggest part of that is that he was a media victim maybe? That's the sorrow of it; no one will ever really know the truth....

No one can know what he was truly in his heart so no one can judge.
I hope he knew Christ, and I hope in God's hands he has found eternal peace.

And I thank him for his music.

NY Daily News: Four nabbed in ghoulish scheme at historic cemetery

Sorry, can't get over it.

News | 07/09/2009 Four nabbed in ghoulish scheme at historic cemetery BY BILL HUTCHINSON A group of Illinois grave diggers were charged Thursday with running a morbid scam in which they exhumed corpses in a historic black cemetery to resell the empty plots, cops said.

I mean, in the U.K. they have cemeteries that are so old that the crypts are broken and you can actually look into them. I mean, that's kind of creepy. However, even in that little tiny Island nation where a play was written by Shakespeare that included a scene where the long dead were dug up to make room for the newly dead; they have not- in this century- begun to pound down existing graves to bury the newly dead -for freakin money! Oh OH! OH!
These people who did this...Should not be entitled to a decent burial of their own...They should be parceled out and devoured by the wild dogs from an earlier post. Only this would be a fitting punishment for someone who believed it was right to do this to people.
If you believe that it is good to resell what is in all consideration, someones most private moment...That is, their death and burial, then you yourself should not be afforded one....
That is my own opinion.
Love me or hate me for it.

...And trust me, this is Northern Michigan, no one is using it as a front to launder drug money....Guys come on, when you have to think up things to be paranoid about it just says that you've gotten bored with reality.

Weird Creepy Things that go bump in the night.

I have an Autistic son and I am the first person that will raise their hands and say, "Give a kid some coffee before you put 'em on Paxil." (Caffeine in a child's system depresses them rather than makes them hyper, it's the same justification done with Ritalin. Only you don't get the serious side affects like, oh say, suicide.) Seriously, make sure your prepared for drugs people because these so-called "psychiatrist" are not all that they are cracked up to be.
I had one psychiatrist treat my obviously Autistic son for Schizophrenia.....Yea.
So be aware....

However, all psychiatry is not done by quacks and people set out to make money on death.

The reason I am writing is this is because I was up one night watching television with my son and we were watching "Sleepless in Seattle" on I think Oxygen.

It's something we don't often do, because I don't like to stay up late, however, it was kind of fun for us... I mean, I have a surround sound and it's an older movie and I know how it ends but it's cute...
So we're watching this movie and suddenly on comes this commercial about Scientology. Which I don't care about. Honestly, if you're that lost to believe it fine. Let's talk sometime and I'll give you some of what I believe since you're so bent on changing my views. If you'll believe in Scientology, what's stopping you from believing in what I believe?
...Oh yea, we have rules. That would be one reason, and it's not always comfortable to be a Christian, that's another.
However, my complaint isn't that there are Scientologist....
My complaint is that they have some seriously creepy PSA's and at 1:30AM it's just not cool.







And for your viewing pleasure here is some other fun watching...And be sure to get creeped out as possible by watching it at like say, three in the morning....

Blaming the Columbine massacre on medication?

This one has a kid picking up a prescription for a gun to commit suicide with...
Click here.

On top of that, I went to the CCHR. Org website just for curiosity sake because I was wondering what that was all about...And here's my thing.
Scientologist have it all made up to look like a government organization.
With interviews and everything.
Now mind you, L. Ron Hubbard was discharged from the army and put in a psychiatric hospital, so being as this is who was their founder and also being as this is the same guy that wrote the book, Battlefield Earth, which is post apocalyptic Earth with Klingon look a likes. It does not surprise me that quite possibly L. Ron, had some interesting views on what being in the psych ward of a hospital is like, and possibly not very nice remembrances of said visit.
It does not surprise me that he has some really bad adventures into the drug world. I understand that. I have a son that I took off all behavior mod meds...

However, L.Ron, I was in psych ward for Anorexia, I haven't killed myself yet or other people and hey, I'm not a Scientologist and I take Xanax and I like it.
It's not an answer to believe we are going to be reincarnated or that aliens are the reason for our problems. We cannot believe that we're going to have another 'go round' and that this fixes everything. No one can let go of their past lives if they have never had one.
This is the only trip you get.
You cannot scare people into not helping their children through psychiatry and you cannot fool everyone by making a website look like a carnival ride into a resident evil-like video game without turning someone off or making someone angry.
Granted, there aren't all the answers to all the questions of "why we are the way we are" but then again, I don't think you are anywhere near those answers either, and no L. Ron, you are not God.
So stop it.

AND FOR HEAVENS SAKE....IF YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A PSA THAT's JUST CREEPY, COULDN'T YOU SHOW IT MIDDAY? Or is that because no one will show it midday?
Because it will turn people off!
Yea.

STOP HARSHING MY BUZZ DUDE!!!

Jilted Hasbro CEO Laughs Coldly As Scrabble Destroys Another Relationship

Biden Requests To Be Named Special Envoy To Reno

WASHINGTON—Saying there are national security matters that 'need sorting out down there,' Vice President Joe Biden requested Friday an appointment as special envoy to the city of Reno, NV. Saying he had already done some of the preliminary work necessary to establish relations with the city, Biden assured President Obama that he had even made significant headway with a local dignitary named Candi. 'Though the United States has not, historically, found it necessary to establish diplomatic relations within our own boundaries, the vice president did make a very convincing argument,' White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel said. 'Although I'm not sure why he was so insistent about getting diplomatic immunity for the weekend.' While Obama was noncommittal about the appointment, he did grant Biden the special 26E2BVP license plate the vice president had been asking about for months.

Modern-Day Martin Luther Nails 95 Comment Cards To IHOP Door

May 21, 2007 | Issue 43•21

SIOUX FALLS, SD—Managers of an area International House of Pancakes discovered 95 comment cards nailed to its front door Sunday, which were later identified as the work of local resident Ronald Lyman, a 53-year-old contractor and onetime regular customer who is calling for wide-scale reform of the venerable chain.

The self-styled pancake reformer decries IHOP indulgences such as whipped toppings.

"IHOP has grown weak on powdered sugar and fruity garnishes, forsaking the righteousness of its original rib-sticking mission," said Lyman, who nailed his 95 comments to the door shortly before the morning brunch rush, when they would receive maximum exposure. "This house is no longer a house of pancakes—it is a house of lies."

Lyman's 95 cards assail IHOP for what he perceives to be an "unholy alliance" of the sweet and the savory, a dangerously narrowing blueberry-to-batter ratio, hard-to-open butter packets, and an increasingly tall short stack. Fifteen cards alone attack the excessive breadth of syrup selection.

"IHOP is about pancakes, not syrups," card 41 reads. "No pancake can exist drowned in a pool of lingonberry. No man who comes hungry can leave happy on artificial orange-flavored goo."

Lyman said that his pancake fundamentalism is based on "the trinity of griddle-fried batter, butter, and maple syrup, as directed by our breakfast elders more than two score years ago." His beliefs were forged by years of increasing dissatisfaction with the "internationalist" influence within IHOP, which he said stresses flavor over substance.

The Pickens County Sheriff's department killed seven dogs that they say ate the remains of 97 year old Israel Pope Jr. Pope was reported missing monday, but Pickens County Sheriff David Abston said all they found were his bones. He said Pope had been consumed by a pack of dogs authorities tracked to a den under an abandoned mobile home. Investigators found pieces of Pope's clothing and what may have been human remains at the mobile home. He said it was unclear whether the dogs killed Pope, or whether they found his body in the field and consumed it.
Pope knew the dogs, they belonged to his own nephew. Pope's family says he used to feed the dogs when they would wander over to his house. Sheriff Abston said they have not charged the dog's owner yet and the investigation is still ongoing.
