A Texas court interpreter who was kidnapped earlier this month has been found dead in Mexico; relatives failed to pay a $10,000 ransom. He is said to have traveled over the border to have work done on his car. His body was found near Ciudad Juarez, bound with duct tape and stabbed repeatedly. Three suspects have been caught.
COMMENTS:
There is some more detail to the story, but it boils down to
opportunists who thought they could extract money from the family of an
American citizen. I need to emphasize:
any American who travels to Mexico from the U.S. is asking for it and it is
obvious that our government doesn’t care.
Don’t even worry about drinking
the water; just don’t go there.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. I see that Arnold Schwarzenegger’s soon-to-be ex-wife,
Maria Shriver, is asking for support. How much?
(Billie ~ Carson City, NV)
A. I don’t know how much, but they both have more money than
God. She had her own niche in the news
and entertainment industry as well as her share of the Kennedy fortune; he has
all of his movie royalties and a huge investment income. They did not have a prenuptial agreement and
it is expected they will have an out-of-court settlement unless, of course, the
mistress decides to butt in.
Q. Isn’t this national heat wave proof of global
warming? (Jan ~ Santa Clara, CA)
A. It’s not the worst heat wave we have ever had and we just
had a long and cold winter in much of the U.S.
The weather is constantly changing due to the effects of El Nino and La
Nina, among other things. I don’t think
it is indicative of anything. If there
is going to be any other impact on weather in the Americas, I think it will be
due to some impact of all of that oil which is still there in the gulf, much of
it below the surface. Out of sight, out of mind.
Q. What do you think of the big blow up between Debbie
Wasserman Schults and Allen West? Isn’t
this all “conduct unbecoming Congressmen?”
(Teddy ~ Big Bear, CA)
A. She deserved it.
Her inflammatory rhetoric IS unbecoming a lady. I don’t think West should have called her “vile
and despicable,” however. I would have
just referred to her as a “bitch.” It’s
a trait that seems to run in the far-left verbal-attack brigade, most of whom
are really upset because they wanted
the honor of being called the most vile and despicable.
TODAY’S QUOTE:
“Is it a violation of the House rule wherein members are not
permitted to make disparaging references to the President of the United
States? In two previous gentlemen’s statements on the amendment, both of
them referred to the Affordable Care Act, which is the accurate title of the
health care reform law, as ‘ObamaCare.’ That is a disparaging reference
to the President of the United States. … It is clearly in violation of
House rules against that.” ~ Debbie Wasserman Schults
