Thanks for bearing with me.
This damned bug has been on my case for almost three months. Just as you’re feeling better, you let your
guard down and push it a little and it’s back to coughing, hacking and bad
fatigue.
Those enterprising Mexicans who stole a truck full of
radioactive material down in Mexico are in deep trouble. The material was recovered Thursday and by
Friday several guys showed up at the local hospital feeling very sick. They have radiation poisoning and are likely
to die.
COMMENTS:
What goes around comes around? What is not known as I write this is whether
or not the theft was just to get the truck, or if they were deliberately after the
radioactive material, possibly for the purpose of making a dirty nuclear bomb; I’m
not certain how easy that would be to do unless you had the know-how, the tools,
and someplace to do the work in. The
fact that they opened the container leads me to believe they didn’t know what
they were doing. That’s what the
radiation sign is for, to tell you to leave the contents alone. It is rumored that the contents of the Lost
Ark of the Covenant are also highly radioactive, in case you ever run across it.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. My 24-year-old son has just finished a four year tour
with the Air Force and while in service finished his college degree. He’s very upset with the way the military is
changing, with his inability to find a meaningful job, with President Obama and
with the way the country is going in general.
How can I possibly argue with him?
(Jarvis ~ Venice, CA)
A. You can’t argue with him, because he’s correct. However, he does need to channel his
frustrations into something positive, such as registering to vote and getting
ready to vote out all Democrats who voted for ObamaCare as well as Republicans
who’ve been in office for more than six years; it’s in those general demographics
where our national problems exist. Plus,
maybe if we get control of the Senate, maybe we can be successful in
wrestling back control of our government from the far-left progressives and
establishing some sanity in our country.
Q. I consider myself to be a religious person; I believe in
God and am active in my church. I see
every day where the left is trying to destroy religion in our country and our
government turns a blind eye to it. Is
there any way we can change this? (Monique
~ Pueblo, CO)
A. Tell it to your preacher.
Until we get organized religions to stand up for themselves, we can’t
change things.
Q. How do you react to the fast food workers complaints
about their low wages? (Tess ~ Granada
Hills, CA)
A. If you’re not happy with the wages or benefits you get
from a job, go get another job. Let the
labor market be free; if the business owner can’t find people to hire at the
wages he’s paying, he’ll raise his wages and provide more benefits, get a
robot, or close down. It’s all that
simple. Another word of advice: the
worst time to ask for a raise is when there are tons of people out there who
would love to have your job, regardless of the low wage. Do you want ketchup with that?
