The Internal Revenue Service told Congress yesterday it has
lost a trove of emails to and from Lois Lerner prior to 2011, sparking outrage
from congressional investigators who have been trying to get to the bottom of
the I.R.S. targeting scandal for more than a year. They say those emails were “lost” because she
had a computer crash during the summer of 2011.
COMMENTS:
Shades of Rose Mary Woods, the electronic gremlins have
struck again. If you recall, 18 minutes
of taped conversation involving Richard Nixon in the Oval Office mysteriously disappeared during the Watergate hearings
and Woods took the fall for that. Okay,
let’s presume for a moment that this story is real and that the I.R.S. never
backs up the computers of its key employees.
Why doesn’t Congress ask for every agency to send them copies of any
Emails from or to Lerner during the missing time period? It looks to me like the Administration is
continuing to jerk off the House and they’re allowing it.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Do you think Chris Christie would make a good President?
(Florence ~ Sacramento, CA)
A. Absolutely; he has proven himself to be a genius at
building roadblocks. The GOP hierarchy
loves him, which tells the whole story: If you want to see the Republican Party
operate the same way it has operated since Ronald Reagan left office, vote for
Christie. If you want to see change,
rule out Christie, Bush, Romney from the git go.
Q. How much oil is at risk in Iraq? (Pam ~ Las Vegas, NV)
A. You hit a big nail in the probable fall of Iraq on the
head. Iraq is ranked fifth in world oil
reserves and is a major supplier. Iraq
also happens to border Saudi Arabia, which is ranked second in world oil
reserves. If I.S.I.S. and Al Qaeda succeed in taking over
Iraq, a next logical step would be to invade Saudi Arabia, which would probably
fall like a domino. That would put a
very dangerous terrorist organization in the position of holding the world
hostage. Of course, we’ll be in good
shape, because of the availability of oil through the Keystone Pipeline… won’t
we?
Q. Why don’t we take all of these illegals crossing the
border, put uniforms on them and send them to the Middle East to fight I.S.I.S.
and Al Qaeda? That would solve two
problems at once. (Beemer ~ Olympia, WA)
A. There’s no grass to mow in the Middle East. Actually, the idea is tempting, isn’t
it?
TODAY’S QUOTE:
“With the available candidates as they are today, I’m
thinking we might as well draft Goofy for President in 2016. On the other hand, things aren’t going all
that well right now under Mickey Mouse.” ~ Unknown Scribbler
