MARINE IN MEXICAN JAIL VICTIM OF “FAST & FURIOUS”



Any hope of former Marine Jon Hammer being released before Christmas, or even before Valentine’s Day for that matter, is all but extinguished.  A letter from Mexican Ambassador to the United States Arturo Sarukhan to Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.), an advocate for Hammar's release, takes a thinly veiled swipe at the U.S., blaming it for gun proliferation south of the border. Hammar has been stuck in the drug cartel-controlled prison just 15 miles south of the U.S. border since Aug. 13. 

COMMENTS:
The victims of Eric Holder’s “Fast & Furious” gun running program continue to pop up.  Just a few days ago, a “Fast & Furious” gun showed up in the death of a Mexican beauty queen.  The gun was personally purchased by the former ATF Number 2 administrator some three years ago.  When asked how that could have happened, the agent responded that he didn’t know and that he had sold the gun on the Internet.  Mexicans appear to be just as upset over this "Fast & Furious" scheme as we are.   Holder and Obama continue to stonewall it. 

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard Obama whining that the Republicans won’t pass his agenda because they don’t like him.  Is he a ninny, or what?  (Liet ~ Gardena, CA)
A. He believes that you must do as he commands, whether you like him or not.  He is omnipotent, the new messiah.  It’s now your turn to bow to him. 

Q. I just heard that it is legal for the Federal government to track you by GPS on your cell phone or laptop without having a legal warrant.  Isn’t that an invasion of privacy?  (Gina ~ Rock Springs, WY)
A. Although the Supreme Court ruled the practice to be illegal, a Federal Judge in the 9th Circuit Court recently ruled the tactic to be legal.  This will be another judicial quagmire going on for another two years.  In the meantime, leave your cell phone at home if you’re heading for a lady’s bordello. 

Q. Late yesterday, the House did a poll and discovered it did not have enough votes to pass “Plan B.”  Now what?  (Todd ~ Layton, UT)
A. Even if the plan had passed, the Senate and Obama both would have refused it.  If we go over the fiscal cliff, Obama gets his wishes: decreased military spending and higher taxes on everybody.  Does that make it easier to understand?
