Foreign Born Observer Detroit


DETROIT TODAY: A SAD STATE OF A ONCE VIBRANT MOTOR CITY.  When I first visited the city in the 70s it was comparable to Chicago and other midwest cities when it comes to diversity of culture and job opportunity (a few of my friends in the medical profession found a job there).  I've visited the place several times, from 1970 to late 1990, and I noticed it's been left behind - there was no water in their fountain and the park looked barren devoid of flowers.  It has been a socialist state and managed by the Democrats for more than 50 years.  It declared bankruptcy a few months ago.  Will Chicago be next? There is no doubt bad management and labor unions broke the camel's back among other things.  Let this be a lesson: Socialism breeds a third world country.  And only Capitalism equals a superpower nation.

TIT FOR TAT
What goes around comes around.  The Obama Administration & Democrats are getting the vitriol and poison the liberal media and Bush haters heaped on the  Bush Administration & Republicans.  True, the moment I heard on the radio and saw on TV the non-stop bashing on my favorite President Bush I've stopped hearing and viewing their idiotic shows,  I don't read newspapers - they just mess up my lily-white bed.  Needless to say, I do everything in bed except when doing computer.


My body temperature just go up and my blood just boil over everytime I see stinking liberal followers of Democrats call my favorite President Bush all the evil names in the book they  could think of .  Yeah, I've seen ebay and YouTubes videos - they are hard to miss.  It's good President Bush has thick skin like the pachyderm symbol he belongs to! I never knew or seen (maybe in private) President Bush lose his cool and ho-hum who cares what those magnificent morons think of me as probably he would say. 


Now it's the other party's turn and the folks against.socialist and pacifist Obama and his cult followers.  No doubt about it - Obama's party is a cultist party.  He's the false idol of the liberal mainstream media and university elitists  They have a symbiotic relationship - I give you stimulus money, bought and paid for by taxpayers' money.  Furthermore, the media in exchange we'll give you non-stop infomercial.  FREE! Because now, you're the President of the U.S.  Yes, I'll be giggling all the way when some, not all for some are fair, of the newspapers and news shows are bankrupted or get a low rating. 

One guy to bite the dust was Professor Charles 'Charlie' Gibson - probably his ABC bosses told him why did you say "enough already!" on Gold Star Mom & Bush-Hater/Activist Cindy Sheehan.  ABC loved it when Gibson looked down, eyeglasses down his mortal nose, on Sarah Palin as if she's a political ingenue when in truth she's more qualified than Obama in my humble opinion.


There are few and far between of them keeping a vigil and watching what way the Obama Administration is marching - Conservatives like ...but at least a little bit close to the Republican Party... Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, and Sean Hannity.  Nope, that Glenn Beck is an idiot.  Friends, don't forward his videos to me! I'm a proud Republican and McCain is the 'lesser evil'.

It's nice to be Chinese.  If you cannot decipher anything, then try pulling the corner of your eyes as if you were Chinese.   It works!

MHZ Networks The Half Brother




MHZ NETWORKS INTERNATIONAL MYSTERY NEW SEPTEMBER SCHEDULE: I've been watching every Monday night the 2013 ? film episodes of "The Half Brother."  It's an adaptation from the 2003 book by renowned and award-winning Norwegian author Lars Saabye Christensen.  What I love about the film is it mentioned my first car brand Buick, my favorite singer of all-time Cliff Richard, UK's great pop singer (I missed the meaning why Cliff Richard has 9 fingers ?), and one of my favorite songs "Daydream Believer" by the Monkees.  One of the main characters was named after P.T. Barnum and he grew up in the 60's.  Barnum's father was a circus performer.

I watch other MHZ international mystery films lineup - the best this season. 


Author Lars Christensen



Book Review 

__________________________________________

I have always been to mystery and detective drama.  I have not watched comedy shows on TV since Benny Hill.  Yep, that's telling.  When I was in London, the tour bus director did not like Benny Hill at all - he probably did not like his kind of slapstick comedy.
Every Monday and Wednesday night I'm glued on MHz Networks TV watching DON MATTEO - International Mystery and Drama film series.

Don Matteo, played by the forever handsome Terence Hill, is a priest (aka crime investigator) in the umbria region of Gubbio in northern Italy.  I think he should be a model for all priest - goodlooking, kind, helpful, positive disposition and above all saviour of soul.  One of my favorite episodes was an immigrant Filipino family living in Gubbio (you find Filipinos all over the world, just ask Detective Coliandro) and one of the guys was accused of attacking a bad employer with a venomous snake only found in the Philippines.  The Filipino actors speak very good Italian.
