It is about lede'er ship[!]

[11-21-11: As "A Wonder..." is held in draft, I am processing a Revolution. Speaking of Calm Cast, I didn't mean to forcast.]
[As for weather[!], recent Republican interference in presidential foreign policy* is dangerous** stuff, and further muddles the mess age and message. I don't know if anyone can ever be a Nixon to China after this administration, or a Cain to business.]

** a,b

[Just to be clear*** I am not opposed to six sigma or cuts, but there is a food chain, or some hierarchy which is bubble up. Incidentally, it is a lot like the cycle of life and climate change.
