Two cruise liners operated by Princess Cruises off the
Florida coast have been hit by a fast spreading norovirus. Aboard the Crown Princess, 158 passengers and
crew were affected; 90 are affected aboard the Ruby Princess. Future cruises on both ships are in limbo
until the company can thoroughly disinfect the ships.
COMMENTS:
The sailing public doesn’t know what to do; it seems they
feel like they will either have to sink or swim and they’re too sick to
swim. But, people have been sailing the
seas since before Christ, so I have a feeling they’ll continue to do so.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. I was told that ObamaCare is robbing Medicare. Is that true?
(Karla ~ Hurricane, UT)
A. According to Obama’s own DHHS sources, he will plunder
the fund for $587.5 billion in this decade alone. Oh, and by the way: His plan
says that ObamaCare bureaucrats will decide what care you can have and can’t
have and neither you or Congress has a say about it.
Q. Russia and China both vetoed the U.N. resolution
condemning Syria’s murderous crackdown.
How can we deal with this situation?
(Ivan ~ Lincoln, NE)
A. The U.S. is making a lot of noise, like “How could they
do that?” Yet, no student of international
affairs could have expected a different result.
As for us sticking our nose into Syria’s internal affairs, sad as the
situation may be, we have no legal basis to do so.
Q. I saw the other day that the House voted to freeze
government pay. I thought it was already
frozen. (Polly ~ Dunsmuir, CA)
A. No. Obama froze
executive branch pay a couple of years ago, but the freeze only applied to Cost
of Living Adjustments, (COLA), and did not affect normal annual raise
increases. So, government employees have
been increasingly getting better off while the rest of the nation has been
suffering from high unemployment and decreasing pay.
TODAY’S QUOTE:
“What can we gain by sailing to the moon if
we are not able to cross the abyss that separates us from ourselves? This is
the most important of all voyages of discovery, and without it, all the rest
are not only useless, but disastrous.” ~ Thomas
Merton
