Eric Holder was served with a fistful of Congressional
subpoenas yesterday regarding his alleged failure to be forthcoming in prior
testimony regarding when he learned about Fast and Furious and his stonewalling
on providing documentation and evidence. This comes just one day after he
trotted out the news that his department, the Mexicans and intelligence figures
had stopped a terrorist plot destined for Washington, DC.

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. I know that Obama’s jobs bill got turned down by the
Democrat-controlled Senate. Why? (Marilyn – Reno, NV)
A. It is a lousy bill, so rotten that no one wants to touch
it, including the Democrats. The vote
was not for passage, but to consider passage.
It came up eight votes shy.
Additionally, several other Democrats pledged to vote against it if it
ever did come up for passage. More
significantly, Obama cannot now blame the Republicans for its defeat and it
signifies that his demands for immediate passage as a complete package were
rebuked by his own party.
Q. What’s this about Blackberry phones going on the
fritz? (Lonnie ~ Tyler, TX)
A. Blackberry cell phones in Europe became unable to send
text messages or access the Internet a few days ago. That outage has spread to the U.S., leaving
tens of thousands, maybe millions of hip-hop owners of the trendy devices unable to use them
for anything except telephone calls.
Company officials say they are working on the issue, which is a perplexing
and bewitching switching problem. Happy Halloween from cyberspace.
Q. What do you make of the shooting and killing spree at the
beauty salon in Seal Beach? (Nancy ~ Chico, CA)
A. Nothing yet. I don’t
know enough details, but my initial reaction is that the gunman was ticked off
at his ex-wife, who worked there, and her fellow employees. You never really know what is going to spark
a rampage like this, but you also have to ask what the outcome would have been
if one of the employees had had a gun, training and concealed weapons
permit.
