... John Phelan lost his job as Secretary of the Navy yesterday. There was kind of an abrupt Xweet from Sean Parnell, of the 'we thank you for your service, good luck' ilk, and we all wondered what he resigned for, only finding out later he'd gotten the boot.
He seemed like a good, enthusiastic sort when he was confirmed - no military background whatsoever, but eager to get going - and in the middle of a conflict, an ouster of that magnitude naturally raised eyebrows. So far, the media story seems to be that Phelan was grinding up against other visions in the Department of War that didn't mesh seamlessly with his.

Authorities say an 18-year-old in North Carolina was planning an attack on a Jewish synagogue in Texas. Angelina Han Hicks was arrested yesterday and is being held on $10 million bond. She allegedly was planning the attack online with a teen in Texas who was also arrested.QuoteAn 18-year-old Lexington, North Carolina, woman and a 16-year-old in Texas have been charged after a fast-moving multistate FBI investigation into an alleged plot to attack a Jewish institution in Houston, according to court documents and statements from the FBI and Davidson County Sheriff's Office.
Angelina Han Hicks was arrested on Wednesday by detectives with the Davidson County Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigation Division. She faces two counts of felony conspiracy. A juvenile was separately charged in Harris County, Texas, according to the FBI.
Investigators allege Hicks and her co-conspirators were planning a mass-casualty event at Congregation Beth Israel Synagogue in Houston. Court documents say the group intended to "kill as many Jews as possible" by driving through the congregation.
