Good thing it's been quiet...

...in the tropics. No hurricanes in the forecast and no threat of tropical storms. The entertainment -- and the fury -- has been over at the center where now a congressional hearing will look into the firing of Bill Proenza.
From the stories I've read, it's hard to tell whether Proenza is an outspoken leader who decided to speak his mind to his waffling, inept superiors or if he's a hothead who's created a crisis where there isn't.
But consider the long and troubling history of the Bush Administration's quashing any dissension or scientific inquiry that doesn't fit into its narrow view of life. Maybe Proenza is onto something, and something big.
