From Bloomberg:
Republicans will eliminate the House committee created by Speaker Nancy Pelosi to highlight the threat of climate change, Representative James Sensenbrenner, the top Republican on the panel, said today.
Excellent.

My recent posts haven’t been getting much activity.
I freely admit: many of my posts are general or ethereal in nature and don’t deal with one very specific topic, as do many other successful blogs.
As I wrote some years ago, I still post for myself and, essentially, no one else. My writing is, mostly, personally cathartic and expunging. That anyone else enjoys my site is quite the “icing on the cake.” That any of you are of a like mind — God bless you.
That anyone has followed me — I find astounding. Because I can be clear and daft and eccentric and understood and obfuscated.
What the GOP doesn’t understand is this:
It is fluctuous. And the various TEA Parties have made it so.
And the same with me: I refuse to write checks to the RNC or any general form of the GOP.
Instead, I target my cash at specific candidates of my choosing.
It is getting to this point:
No matter the label, if you aren’t a Conservative, you won’t win.
Our budget screams this.
The GOP is “on probation.”

You can be guaranteed that the awesome, fiery, unholy powers of the FBI will come down upon you if you decide to, say, pirate music.
You can be guaranteed that the awesome, fiery, unholy powers of the FBI will come down upon you if you decide to, say, bootleg movies in theatres or create unlicensed DVDs.
However, you can release thousands and thousands of secret US documents, cables, messages and papers — and face no ire from the Obama Administration. Apparently Mr Obama is “concerned” and “monitoring.” If he really ratchets things up, he might actually be “displeased.”
Mr Obama is an absolute incompetent.
And Lord, am I being kind.
It’s as if Kindergartners are in charge of our country.
Mr Obama ran against this kind of thing. Yet it occurred on his watch. And he steps away from a Monday press conference that leaves Robert Gibbs to handle the shrapnel.

Reference:
– US loses control of vast amounts of classified information;
– US secrets are not safe;
– Assange continues to kick sand in the face of Obama;
– The NYT won’t publish ClimateGate documents because they were from “illegal” sources, yet embraces Assange and his Wikileaks;
– The Pentagon can’t guarantee against further leaks;
– Demorat/Obama Admin/Hillary Clinton orders spying;
Plus:
With all of this, can anyone in the US political administration really be trusted with any kind of secret at all?
Because, apparently, the entire USLeaks.
Single .308 rifle rounds can range from pennies to $5.00 or more. Individually hand-sculpted and -poured custom devastator rounds are negotiable per artiste.
Brass, lead, primer, powder, exotic bullet materials can all vary. There are “names” to whom you would go for custom rounds. Some are known; most are not so. Purposely. I’ll not reveal them here. Even composites and so-called “temporary” materials are included, considered. “Exotic” rounds are a niche of a niche of a niche venue. Some contain mercury or other rather toxic stable or fluid contents.
If you don’t “know” you will never “find.”
With this in mind, I would submit it is time to consider recent Wikileaks damage.
And Julian Assange can be found as “in charge” regarding Wikileaks. At 39 he is already gray and haggard. I wonder if he sleeps different nights in different locations a la Saddam Hussein?
As I wrote back in October, Mr Assange cannot stand the focal point of light upon himself — as he would insist such aforementioned light be focused upon countries and aligned individuals.
If certain critical optical crosshairs were resultingly sharpened, I would not lose, I submit, more than a few seconds’ sleep.
A rather inexpensive solution to a given problem.
But, of course, in the real world I would never suggest this. Mere digital and journalistic conjecture and hypothesis.
These are two completely divergent and separate topics.

A typical .308 round travels at 2,820 fps.
