With all of the networks and press glued into the Sandy
weather, there hasn’t been much news in these last 36 hours. But, there are some nuggets of information out
there, such as the fact that British Petroleum (BP) has joined with Russia in
creating the world’s largest oil company, which will be run by Vladimir Putin’s
close friend, Igor Sechin.
COMMENTS:
Look for the price of oil to go up, as will the price of gas
while Obama still has no coherent energy policy.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Any new discoveries by the Mars probe? (Tanya ~ Bellingham, WA)
A. Good timing. A
sample of Mars dirt reveals a shiny new substance. They have determined that
the specks were not caused by the landing of Curiosity and are moving the rover
to a new location to take another sample.
It’s probably an ancient form of lip gloss.
Q. Did I hear someplace that they are firing an Air Force
General for trying to save those at the Benghazi Consulate? (Irv ~ Redding, CA)
A. Possibly. They
always have to fry anyone’s fanny they can, except their own, under these
circumstances. They think that
blood-letting will dampen the fires of discontent. On October 18th, Leon Panetta introduced
a new general in charge of the African Command; the current general, Carter
Ham, is being ushered out early. Ham
received the same intelligence that everyone else did, along with pleas for
help, and communicated that he had assembled a special strike force/rapid
response team ready to go in and rescue those at Benghazi, but he was
ordered to “stand down,” not to assist. Ham
reportedly decided to help anyway, but was cornered by his second-in-command
and told that he was being relieved of duty.
Stay tuned.
Q. What’s the latest on the lawsuit by Congress to force
Eric Holder to turn over documents on the Fast & Furious scandal? (Priscilla ~ Bend, OR)
A. The Justice Department is trying to have the lawsuit quashed
on the basis that the courts have no business getting involved in a political dispute. If courts don’t settle disputes, what do they
do?
