IRAN MAY TELL U.N. TO TAKE A HIKE

One of Iran’s rulers has warned that they may pull out of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty as a result of the U.N.’s resolution to censure the country over its refusal to come clean about its nuclear ambitions. More than one leader has suggested the withdrawal may be in the works, and such a move virtually removes the U.N. power to do anything to prevent Iran from building nuclear weapons. "The parliament, in its first reaction to this illegal and politically-motivated resolution, can consider the issue of withdrawing from the NPT," Mohammad Karamirad was quoted as saying by the official IRNA news agency, referring to the treaty. "The parliament ... (also) can block the entry of IAEA inspectors to the country."

COMMENTS:
The United States will not take any action for at least 90 days; that’s how long our President takes to make major decisions, such as what to do about Afghanistan troop levels.

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Any word on how the retail sales were on Black Friday? (Sly – Farmingdale, NJ)
A. Early reports are about the same as last year…an increase of ½%. And last year, if you remember correctly, went on to be a very bad retail season.

Q. I just read that the number of handguns per person in the United States is at an all-time high. How does that compare with the number of violent crimes committed? (Garwin – Truth-or-Consequences, NM)
A. The percentage of violent crimes has plummeted. Here’s another interesting statistic: Vermont, which is acknowledged as being the easiest state to buy handguns in, and a state where you can carry concealed handguns without a permit, the percentage of violent crimes is lowest; in California, where gun regulations are very strict, the number of violent crimes involving guns is highest.

Q. What’s the hottest selling electronic gizmo this year? (Myrna – Huntington Beach, CA)
A. Clue: It’s not CB Radios or electronic weegie boards.
