A few hours ago Obama said that the IRS abuse was the work of one low level employee.

Now he says that he is going to hold those responsible fully accountable. Is he sending himself to Gitmo?

Record low temperatures recorded over Interior Alaska

Just when you thought summer was finally peeking its head out from under the melting snow.

Fairbanks set a new record low temperature of 22 degrees on Monday at Fairbanks International Airport. That broke the old record of 26 degrees in 1938.

A strong cold front moved across northern Alaska Sunday night and temperatures dropped below zero in the Brooks Range and into the teens and 20s over the remainder of the Interior, the National Weather Service said.

The cold air mass resulted in record-low temperatures in other locations besides Fairbanks.

The low of 22 degrees at Eielson Air Force Base broke the record of 26 set in 1965. Bettles had a low of 10 degrees to shatter the old record of 20 degrees in 2007.

Sub-zero temperatures were reported in the Brooks Range north of Fairbanks. The coldest temperature reported was 6 below in Killik Pass. It was 5 below at Atigun Pass and 2 below at Norutak Lake. Winds gusting to more than 25 mph resulted in wind chills approaching 30 below zero in Brooks Range passes.

Outraged locals took to the streets of Benghazi on Monday to rail against a government that has failed to bring security to Libya after a car bomb outside a hospital killed as many as 13 people.

“The country is on a dark and hopeless path now,” said Benghazi resident Bob Abubaker. “The attack was intended to kill civilians. Tomorrow, I can predict it will be a big mess in Benghazi when people go to funeral … the government has done nothing to protect our city.”
