REUTERS reports that at least 22 people were killed and 55 more injured when a Russian train crashed yesterday in what may have been an act of terrorism. Four carriages of a luxury train traveling from Moscow to St. Petersburg were derailed near the town of Bologoye, about 200 miles from Moscow. “A one meter-diameter hole has been found next to the railway track. Witnesses heard a loud slap before the accident. All of this could point to a possible act of terrorism.”
COMMENTS:
When, if caught, the Russians send the perpetrators off to a Siberian prison and the RCLU, (Russian Civil Liberties Union), complains…I wonder if Putin will bring the terrorists to Bologoye for trial. Oh… there IS no RCLU?
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Tim Geithner has been so, so wrong in the many things he has done regarding our economic situation. How does he manage to keep his job? (Irene – Augusta, GA)
A. As Secretary of the Treasury, he is over the Internal Revenue Service and the I.R.S. audits tax returns of those in political power. Shades of J. Edgar Hoover?
Q. Tiger Woods was in a car accident yesterday and they’re already saying he was driving while intoxicated. What do you make of that? (Sally – Kerrville, TX)
A. Maybe that explains all of the new signs on golf course tee boxes: “DON’T DRINK AND DRIVE?”
Q. I hear that there may be a “Cash for Clunkers” appliance stimulus? (Benjamin – La Mesa, CA)
A. I wonder of that would apply to vibrators. That would surely keep a lot of businesses going under…pardon the lame-brained play on words.

HUGE NATIONAL ECONOMIC CRISIS COMING
A November 23rd front page NEW YORK TIMES report “warns that U.S. debt is rising so fast that the federal government is careening toward a ‘payment shock’ in the not-too-distant future.” http://moneynews.newsmax.com/headlines/nyt_us_debt_shock/2009/11/23/289782.html?s=al&promo_code=91C9-1 The yearly interest alone on our national debt will be over $700 billion, up from the current $202 billion. Additionally, FDIC funds used to insure failed banks is $8.2 billion in the red and the number of banks in serious trouble has increased from 416 to 552.
COMMENTS:
We cannot continue to ignore the warnings: This country is in deep, deep trouble. It is entirely possible, and growing more probable every day, that we will enter a depression next year that could surpass the “Great Depression.” If retailers start to file bankruptcies and close stores, commercial foreclosures will sap what little bank capital there is left. This sure as hell is NOT the time to be adding fuel to the fire with more massive spending. And, given the fact that this country could be brought to its knees, any member of Congress who votes for the new health care bill should be charged with treason.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. I heard there’s a member of Congress who is suggesting tax increases to pay for additional troops in Afghanistan and that Obama is planning on spending another eight or nine years there. I don’t understand. (Amie – Park City, UT)
A. This is an overt attempt to make Americans want to get out of Afghanistan so that more terrorists can be trained there.
Q. Where do they raise all of the turkeys? (Brette – Hanford, CA)
A. Washington, DC.
Q. Even though we could use the help, I don’t understand how they can add a $300 million payment to help Katrina victims to a health care bill. (Xavier – Morgan City, LA)
A. They can do anything they want. Shut up and get out of the way.

EVEN TURKEYS NEED A DAY OFF
Let this be a day of renewal, where we can be with friends and family and give thanks to our forefathers who made this day possible. Let this be a day where we can draw strength from each other to face the difficult times ahead of us, because what we are enduring is certainly going to get worse before it gets better. Let this be a day when we commit to never again allowing our government to do to us what they have been doing to us and are now doing to us.
May peace, comfort and joy be yours, because... I get the drumstick.

S.E.I.U. GETS UGLY AGAIN
As in the case with more and more cities, counties and states, San Francisco is facing serious budget cuts due to declining tax revenues in a worsening economy. Mayor Gavin Newsom’s response to the crisis has been to cut 500 jobs from city payrolls and the Service Employees International Union (S.E.I.U.) took to the streets in rush hour traffic demanding that Newsom change his mind. Police made dozens of arrests.
COMMENTS:
No group or faction of American society deserves to be immune from the adverse effects of government mismanagement of our economy, and that includes close friends and associates of ACORN.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Why is the price of gold and even silver soaring? (Skylo – Burlingame, CA)
A. Because there is a lot of dental work being done. Actually, Americans don’t trust their own dollar. If the government is going to print large volumes of money, inflation is going to kick off; it’s already starting. With interest rates at banks being low, the stock market rising again to unsupported levels and real estate in the tank, the only real hedge against the declining value of the dollar is investment in precious metals. In other words, the smart guys know that more bad, and possibly disastrous financial times are coming.
Q. What does John McCain mean about Congress selling out to special interests? (Marie – Prescott, AZ)
A. Congress and the President have been ignoring the will of the people who elected them to office and abiding by the wishes of the special interests that financially supported their elections. Although he was pointing his fingers at the Democrats, the Republicans have historically been just as guilty. We need to get fresh blood into the halls of Washington to change the laws and restore the ethics.
Q. What do you want for Thanksgiving? (Billy – Fall River Mills, CA)
A. I’d like to see Americans give Congress the bird.

HORRID HOLIDAY RETAIL SEASON LOOMS
Retail spending over the Christmas holidays was very “off” in 2008 and a recent AP-GfK poll shows that 93% of Americans are planning to spend much less or about the same as last year. This seems to be due to a lack of credit, high unemployment and under-employment, and fears about the massive national debt and what it will do to America.
COMMENTS:
Although the stock market is up, it will probably plunge in January as major retailers and manufacturers cut more jobs or go out of business altogether. I’m sorry, but I can’t seem to get past the gloom and Washington is not giving us the straight scoop about anything.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. The news yesterday is that Major Hasan may plead insanity in the Fort Hood Killings. It seems to me that the insanity defense is sure used a lot. (Prentice – Savannah, GA)
A. If you use a gun in the commission of a crime, you surely must be insane, right?
Q. I was reading about a guy who was supposedly in a coma for 23 years and they just discovered that he was quite aware, but totally paralyzed after an accident. I wonder how many other people are in the same circumstances. (Blanche – Marion, IL)
A. There’s about 500 of them in real comas on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C.
Q. What’s with all of the student demonstrations in California? (Lana – Cloverdale, CA)
A. The state is virtually bankrupt. For decades, it has operated under the “tax and spend” philosophy. In this economic climate, people and businesses are leaving the state in droves and no one is willing to step up to the plate and do what needs to be done. The University system can’t operate unless it raises tuition. Students can’t afford higher tuition. Frankly, the only real solution is to shrink some campuses and close others to cut expenses, but no one wants to bite that bullet.
TODAY’S QUOTE:

U.S. RETAILERS MIMIC CONGRESS
Major national retail chains are releasing heavier than usual volumes of Christmas ads this year and many carry misleading specials designed to draw business into their stores and then to switch them to higher priced merchandise. The ads will carry a “Holiday Blowout” price for popular items, as well as the small, small print that says, “Limit – Three Per Store.” The retailers apparently hope to lure customers into their stores with the “bait” and then to sell them the advertised items at higher prices, or to “switch” them to other brands or similar items.
COMMENTS:
Why any American is shopping for any thing this Christmas Season, I don’t understand. Unemployment continues to rise, Congress is poised to pile on unprecedented spending and taxes, the “stimulus” is not working and a major French Bank is predicting we may have a global collapse of the economy. Nevertheless, if you are going to shop this year, I recommend rewarding a small local store with your business. The “big box” boys have obviously not learned that business goes where it is well respected and well treated.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. I’ve heard several members of Congress say, with respect to the health care bills, that “doing nothing is not an option.” Do you agree? (Sandee – Bronx, NY)
A. No. That is the most fallacious argument I have ever heard for passing purely rotten legislation.
Q. What do you think of latest news that Iran is practicing war games and test missile firings? (Al – Arlington, VA)
A. Obama needs to do something about his constipation problem.
Q. First they say mammograms after 40, then they say after 50, then they go back to 40. Then, they talk about cervical exams and change that back and forth. What is going on? (Sylvia – Palo Cedro, CA)
A. Here’s the bottom line: If you can’t hold a job in the civilian sector, go to work for the government. Have you ever tried to get a straight answer or to get something done by a government bureaucrat? Just wait until they take charge of your health care.

SENATE PASSES MAJOR HEALTH HURDLE
The Senate voted 60-39 to allow floor debate on the Senate version of “Obamacare,” the government-run health care plan. The vote came after Sens. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana and Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas, announced they would join in clearing the way for a full debate and after an “earmark” of $100 million was added to the bill for Louisiana. The vote virtually guarantees passage of the Senate version.
COMMENTS:
Reid bought Senate votes with our money. This is what our country has come to? And we are going to sit down for it?
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Do you think there will be civil disobedience on a national scale if the Health Care Plan is signed by President Obama? (Candice – Petaluma, CA)
A. Yes. This whole thing, the way it is written, is blatantly unconstitutional. I’ve never been so passionately against anything in my lifetime.
Q. Has Obama said anything about the false jobs figures on the Recovery.com website? (Marlys – Hollywood, CA)
A. He basically said to “shut up and get out of the way,” and that it has nothing to do with anything.
Q. Do you think any of the 9/11 conspirators might get off? (Bernice – Vail, CO)
A. In all honesty, at least Khalid Sheikh Mohammed should get off, under our laws that will apply in New York. President Obama said the other day that Mohammed will be found guilty and will be executed. In doing so, he prejudiced the entire national potential juror pool and any Judge who knows anything about our system of law will be duty-bound to dismiss the case. Let’s see how it plays out.

SPECIAL POST: "NO" ON SENATE HEALTH CARE
I'm going to put this up now and leave it through the weekend.
1. I cannot and will not support government paid abortions, as the bill allows for.
2. The financial burden of this bill cannot be met. A major French bank has come forth with a statement that a global meltdown of the economy could be just around the corner.
3. I cannot and will not support a health care law that specifically does not cover Native Americans.
If this bill passes and ends up in any where near its present form on the President's desk, I will quit paying taxes.
I've had enough of this "change."

JESSE JACKSON PLAYS BLATANT RACE CARD
“You can't vote against healthcare and call yourself a black man.” That’s what Jesse Jackson had to say to Representative Artur Davis (D-Ala.) for voting against the Democrats’ signature government-run healthcare bill.
COMMENTS:
Jesse wants to stir up hateful racism and take us back to the Civil War. He should get his black ass out of this country. I’m wide open to comments on this remark; if Health Care is going to be a black vs. white issue, we need to get it out in the open.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. With as many people as there are out of work, why is there a hotel strike going on in San Francisco? (Carl – Saratoga, CA)
A. Travel is down, and that means hotel occupancy is down. People are lucky just to have jobs. But, you have to consider their mentality; they’re the same people who elected Nancy Pelosi.
Q. Why doesn’t the President want Congress to investigate the Fort Hood shootings? (Francine – Albuquerque, NM)
A. He doesn’t want politics to get in the way. Don’t laugh… That’s the reason he gave.
Q. Are you concerned about the number of Muslims in this country? (Cindee – Springfield, IL)
A. Yes. If they all left, there would be more jobs for the illegal Mexicans.

NEW CONSTRUCTION PLUMMETS; INFLATION GEARS UP
Construction of new homes dropped to a six month low in October, providing more evidence of the economy's continued troubles, while a surge in the cost of new and used vehicles lifted consumer prices and inflation took an unhealthy jump.
COMMENTS:
This Administration has me very, very concerned about what’s coming next. I so much fear that we are just one straw short of the one that will break our backs.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. What is with these people walking around the Bay Area carrying guns on their belts? (Vance – Fremont, CA)
A. They’re “cool, tough guys.” Remember the good old days when guys rolled up their short-sleeved shirts and stuck a pack of cigarettes there, so people could admire their arm muscles and brand of smokes at the same time? They’re also dimwits and a severe discredit to those of us who respect guns and our rights to own them.
Q. Obama sat down for an interview with Fox News? (Bobbie – Moapa, NV)
A. Yeah! Unbelievable! It got rid of my constipation, too.
Q. Is there anybody in Washington who you trust? (Frank – Mineola, NY)
A. Only the veterans buried in Arlington National Cemetery.

The President of the United States, embroiled in a growing series of controversies and embarrassments in Washington, elevated himself to being the leader of the entire world while in China yesterday. With China’s leader at his side, Obama promised he will take immediate action to rally the world to a solution of global warming. Obama has been pushing for a global climate treaty that could cost the United States many hundreds of billions of dollars on top of the costs of Health Care, stimulus, and bailouts already being spent. The money would be used to mitigate the effects of global warming allegedly being caused by developing nations and would be in addition to Obama’s proposed domestic Cap & Trade legislation.
COMMENTS:
Is this nothing more than a blatant redistribution of general American wealth, already mortgaged to pay for future tax increases, from the United States to other countries and one step closer to creating a World Order Government with Obama in charge?
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. I hear that Tim Geithner is been fingered for mismanaging the bailout funds authorized by Congress at the end of last year? (Dawn – Spokane, WA)
A. The former tax-cheat claims that he was too busy in his job with the Federal Reserve and in handling the complexities of the financial mess, and therefore should be excused for his incompetence. At least one financial institution, AIG, was grossly overpaid during the TARP bailouts and there is finally a move on in Congress to shut the program down before the end of the year in order to keep Geithner from further bungling.
Q. I was reading your website, MY AMERICAN OPINION yesterday. It says that the Administration has been misrepresenting the number of jobs “saved” by the stimulus package. In light of all of the facts and figures that have been released by the White House in the past and subsequently changed, how can we trust anything Obama and the White House says? (Gretchen – Corte Madera, CA)
A. We can’t.
Q. Do you think that all of these revelations about the White House, about the people working there, about its associations with ACORN and SEIU and Maoist teachings and phony math are all deliberate, or is Obama just surrounded by nitwits? (Chet – Maxwell, CA)
A. It kind of reminds you of the comic strip, “BIZARO,” doesn’t it?

THE OBAMA TRIALS - DAY 5:
The Administration announced that those Guantanamo terrorist detainees not being sent to New York for trial will be transferred to a northwestern Illinois maximum security prison, and sent a delegation to visit the prison to examine security systems and to confirm that it would be acceptable. The Illinois government went into a state of chaos, with the Congressional delegation against it and the Governor for it.

NAPOLITANO WANTS US TO TRUST GOVERNMENT?
In response to a question about why we are bringing the 9/11 terrorists to New York for trial, Department of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano says we should trust our government.
COMMENTS:
They keep lying to us about the cost of the new Government-run Health Care…we get a new figure every day and it’s always higher than the last one. They asked us to trust them on the H1N1 vaccine and look at how they screwed that up. They asked us to trust them on the Stimulus Bill, the bailouts, Cap & Trade, ACORN….I’d have to buy another website to list all of the “trust” they have already betrayed. There’s not a damned single one….not one…. of those idiots that I trust. They lie, cheat, manipulate, steal, mislead, misinform, disinform…and then they smile demurely and ask you to trust them.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS: Q. Do you really believe that Barney Frankfarter doesn’t know what pot looks like? (Arlene – Casper, WY)
A. Yes. You have to believe whatever a government official tells you. Janet Napolitano says so.
Q. I heard a blurb on T.V. yesterday that there are a lot of miscellaneous tax hikes that are being sandwiched into other bills and that relate to the new Government-run health care plan, so that they won’t have to divulge the actual cost. How can they do that? (Myron – Schenectady, NY)
A. By writing 2,000-page bills that you can’t decipher. But, don’t worry about it. Trust them; they know what they’re doing to us.
Q. Will Sarah Palin run for the Presidency in 2012? (Gladys – Yreka, CA)
A. She has a problem; more and more Americans despise both political parties. On the other hand, the odds of winning as an Independent or 3rd party candidate are greatly diminished. If she’s going to run and win, she needs to get a 3rd party up and running now, in time to get some candidates running for office in 2010. And, she’ll need to surround herself with totally fresh faces on the political scene.

AMERICANS POISED TO RAISE HELL
There is growing indication that Americans are fed up with “change” the way it is being delivered. The skyrocketing national debt, the health care bill, the background news coming out about Fort Hood, the pending cap and trade legislation, unemployment, the failed stimulus plan, and the Administration decision to bring top terrorists from Gitmo to New York for trial… all decisions that have been made against prevailing public opinion… are contributing to an up swell of criticism of Obama and Congress.
COMMENTS:
The theft of other American rights such as Freedom of Speech, and the marginalizing of Freedom of Religion, are adding to the disgust. It is nice to see some new people step forward, such as Carly Fiorina former CEO of Hewlitt Packard, to announce that they are going to run for office in an effort to run this worse-than-senseless-beings out of Washington. I urge more new blood to get out there now, Democrat or Republican, to get the incumbents fired. The earlier you start, the better your chances and, if you are a genuine American Patriot who is willing to put country and the people first, you should be a shoo-in.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. What do you think Obama will accomplish in China? (Prentice – Daly City, CA)
A. Gosh, wouldn’t it be too bad if they decided to hang on to him as collateral for our debt?
Q. Do you think there is any chance that any of the top terrorists being brought to trial in New York could get off? (Manny – Las Vegas, NV)
A. Yes. There are a whole lot of very left leaning and liberal Federal Judges in New York.
Q. The anti-gun lobby is screaming for gun control because of the Fort Hood shootings. What is your opinion? (Felix – Montecito, CA)
A. If those who got shot had been armed, I don’t think Major Hasan would have even thought about doing what he did.

WATER ON THE MOON!
Scientists have verified that there is water on the moon as a result of results beamed back from its instrument crash on to the moon’s surface.
COMMENTS:
If they’re worried about having water on the moon for colonization and further scientific exploration, all they need to do is to take along a few politicians, who have ample water on the brain.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Is there any particular reason to make the announcement now that they are bringing terrorists from Guantanamo to be tried in New York as opposed to, say, announcing it in December or January? (Ina – Bangor, ME)
A. You are astute. The President’s Government-Run Health Care Plan is in trouble and, by letting the trial cat out of the bag, Obama may be trying to refocus our angst so that he can have a better chance of getting his health care passed.
Q. Do you really think that the anger about the economy, health care, and cap and trade goes beyond the Republican Party? (Karl – Vista, CA)
A. I just visited a very blue state that has voted Democrat for decades. Everyone I met there is ticked off about losing liberties and about the economy and they all said they would not hesitate to vote Obama out of office, if given the chance.
Q. Since Obama seems to be ducking the terrorism issue in the United States and vacillating on the Afghanistan decision, do you think he would approve of Truman’s decision to nuke Japan? (Kyle – Tallahassee, FL)
A. Don’t ask Obama; he’ll duck that question. Something tells me that he would not use the A-Bomb, even if Japan invaded the U.S.A. mainland. Such a move would upset Jeremiah Wright.

THE MARXIST VIEW
http://www.marxist.com/crisis-capitalism-tasks-marxists-1-2009.htm
COMMENTS:We need to investigate such things because we need to know our enemies.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. What is your opinion of bringing 9/11 terrorists to New York for trial? (Ben – Frankfort, KY)
A. My first motion would be to ask for a dismissal of the charges against them on the basis that they cannot get a fair trial in New York. This is just about the dumbest move I have ever seen any President make, second only to reading the Miranda Rights when taking a prisoner on the battlefield.
Q. What does Obama expect to gain by taking this trip to Asia? (Candy – Mound House, NV)
A. A change of daily news from the constant discovery about his mismanagement of our country to something more pleasant? Maybe he wants an oriental massage?
Q. You were asked the other day about why Obama is refusing to decide on Afghanistan. You gave a flippant answer. What’s the real reason? (Anna – Roseville, CA)
A. I think he’s conflicted between his Muslim roots, the Nobel Peace Prize, and the teachings of Nidal Hasan.

PRESIDENT TAKES DECISIVE ACTION…AGAIN
Fifteen states are in an economic crisis. Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island and Wisconsin are teetering on the verge of insolvency. Official unemployment is at 10.2%; counting those who have drawn all available benefits and are still out of work, and those who are working part-time but who need full-time, the figure may well be over 20%. The number of houses in various stages of delinquency or foreclosure is at its highest since such records were kept. After nearly a year of telling us how great his “strategy” is, Obama has finally decided to call together some people to talk about jobs; but that won’t be until next month. Whether that will be before, or after, he decides what to do about Afghanistan, is not known.
COMMENTS:
Happy Friday 13th.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. What is the purpose of Obama’s visit to Asia? (Neil – Tempe, AZ)
A. He needs to have a secret meeting with Dr. Frankenstein to find out what to do about his Health Care Plan.
Q. Are you superstitious? (Homer – Brooklyn, NY)
A. I didn’t used to be. One day, I broke a mirror by mistake. That night, I met my now ex-wife.
Q. Why is Mike Tyson such as ass? (Janice – Covington, KY)
A. I met Mike once; I have my picture with him hanging on the wall. He was a pure gentleman. To shake his hand was like shaking hands with a country doctor. He was soft spoken and very polite. The very next night, he won his first major professional bout at the Las Vegas Hilton. What changed him? Ask Don King.

PELOSI WANTS YOU…IN JAIL
The new American fascist movement, now under the leadership of Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi, will have the storm troopers knocking down your doors sooner than you think. Americans who don't maintain acceptable health insurance coverage and who do not to pay a fine/tax of up to 2.5 percent of income will be subjected to fines of up to $250,000 and imprisonment of up to five years under House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's health care reform bill.
COMMENTS:
If that ticks you off or scares the hell out of you, it should. However, you also need to know that Pelosi doesn’t care what you think or how scared you are; neither do her friends. In my opinion, they are daring Americans to stop them. Do they plan on lining us up against the wall and shooting us? Did you know that only 29% of Americans are now in favor of this health care plan? But, they are going to pass it anyway.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. I heard Tuesday that Obama was ready to add troops to Afghanistan, and then I heard yesterday that he’s tossing out all options he has been given so far. What’s going on? (Wendy – Orange, CA)
A. He doesn’t know what in the hell he wants to do, so he is floating trial balloons so he can see what reactions he’s might get from the public.
Q. Are you a veteran? (Amber – Moses Lake, WA)
A. Thank you for asking. I was wearing a baseball cap with the American Legion logo on it yesterday and a fellow walked up to me and thanked me for my service to my nation and apologized for the mess that our country is in.
Q. How do you think this year’s retail Christmas Season will be? (Antoine – Bethesda, MD)
A. Banks who are still issuing credit cards are jacking up interest rates and fees like crazy. Others are cutting credit lines. Unemployment….real unemployment…is around 20%. The value of the dollar is declining as our government prints more money to try and finance its lavish spending. More homeowners are going through the foreclosure process right now, with badly delinquent loans, than at any time in the history that I can remember. All-in-all, people just don't have money. I think that this will be the worst Christmas Season in decades. Forget large-ticket items, I see us trying to keep the Christmas spirit by buying trinkets and deeply discounted items. I think that the discount stores will feel the pain less than the others, but I think we will see many major retailers going out of business or filing for bankruptcy right after the first of the year.

SUPPORT FOR HEALTHCARE PLAN PLUMMETS
A Gallup Poll taken yesterday, November 9th, indicates that only 29% of Americans now support the Health Care Plans as now proposed. 36% said the proposed plan would make their current situation worse, while 31% said the plan would make no difference and 26% said the plan would make things better. Overall, 2/3 of Americans say the new proposed plans would not improve things.
COMMENTS:
And 60% say Obama is failing at addressing the budget deficit. Yet, Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama seem to be more than content at what they have accomplished, regardless of what we think.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. What do you think of Obama’s refusal to grant clemency for the Beltway Killer, John Allen Muhammed? (Richard – Portsmouth, NH)
A. That’s twice Obama has done the right thing since taking office. Don’t ask me what the other one was….it was months ago. I halfway expected Obama to do nothing…neither to grant or deny.
Q. How do you select what questions to answer in your blog? (Gwyn – Cleveland, OH)
A. The National Association of Hermits does not allow us to reveal all secrets.
Q. Chris Dodd has proposed legislation that would require businesses to pay employees who take time off due to the swine flue. What is your reaction to that? (Marianne – Sebastopol, CA)
A. My knee-jerk reaction is that Dodd never ceases to display his total ignorance of how things really work. If the employee has been on the job long enough, and if the business provides for sick or annual leave, the business has set aside money to cover such absences. Otherwise, the idea imposes an unanticipated financial obligation on a business owner who is strapped due to the rotten economy that Dodd is directly complicit in creating. Faced with such an unfunded mandate, I would choose to lay the employee off.

CHAVEZ WARNS U.S.
Hugo Chavez has warned that his country is prepared to go to war against neighboring Columbia if the United States attempts to provoke conflict. Chavez asserts that the presence of U.S. troops in Columbia hints at a possible attempt to seize Venezuela’s oil fields. He wants U.S. troops out of Columbia and obviously believes he can threaten Obama into compliance.

A. Unemployment is up to 10.2% and another 28 million (17.5%) people are under-employed, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and GMAC all want more bailout money, retail sales are projected to plummet this Christmas, and Obama is running around saying that his policies have saved the nation. He’s simply got to put our money where his mouth is.
Q. Why don’t we just run all Muslims out of the country? (Federico – Tucson, AZ)
A. Then, who would be President?
