CANADIAN NAVY INTERCEPTS, BOARDS SUSPECTED TERRORIST SHIP

The Canadian Navy yesterday boarded a Tamil refugee ship headed to Vancouver and suspects that some of those aboard may be members of the Tamil Tigers terrorist organization. The ship is off the coast of Vancouver Island and is traveling at a slow rate of speed.

COMMENTS:
Do you think we would know if the same ship was headed for Tijuana? Who knows what they were up to, but they presumably would head into the U.S. and their track record indicates that they like to kill government officials. Thank God for the Canadians. Maybe I’ll start watching hockey.

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. I keep reading and hearing about the U.S. negotiating to join into a U.N. Treaty that would abolish gun rights in this country. Is that possible? (Merv ~ Helena, MT)
A. I would not be surprised if they proceed along those lines. Assuming our President signs the treaty and then tries to enforce it against our Constitution, he’ll be faced with about 50 million madder-than-hell Americans with guns and ammo standing on his doorsteps in Washington.

Q. Do I understand this correctly? If 484,000 people filed for first time unemployment benefits last week, but 525,000 people actually also ran out of benefits last week, the unemployment rate would go down and the number of people unemployed would go up by 484,000 to 1,009,000 but the number of people on unemployment would go down by 41,000? (Maxine ~ Hollywood, CA)
A. Essentially, that is correct. Given the same figures, you could also have 25,000 people go back to work. In that case, the net change of people on unemployment would be minus 66,000, but more people would be unemployed. Yes, it’s confusing and they want it to be.

Q. I’m wondering what yesterday’s ruling on California’s gay marriage issue means? (Charlie ~ Westchester, NY)
A. It’s just a temporary stay to keep gay marriages from occurring for another six days while the Appeals Court decides whether or not to issue a more permanent stay pending the appeal process.Do you suppose they can keep on demonstrating in the streets of San Francisco that long?
