I'm stopping by after a long time just to see what has/hasn't changed around here. The old - Many of my friends are still around, still posting frequently. Many still have the same avatar. I am glad to see "staples of the hobby" still helping newbies as they helped me years ago. Thank you...

Today the GOP announced they will keep doing what they have been doing since president Obama got elected Rachel Maddow called it last night, before the official news (Look at minute 9:15 at least) In the meantime, thousands of jobless Americans will start to lose their unemployment benefits...

My Oceanside "neighbor" John Tyner raised a stink when he refused to have his groin area checked by a TSA agent. According to Jeffrey Goldberg, the check would consist of a TSA agent feeling in between the legs with the back of his/her hand until resistance is met (genitals). Now we have...

So this will be interesting to watch, although I can almost predict the outcome - that walk won't be walked... Source: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1110/45256.html

I keep using Rachel Maddow Show to talk about some current events, specially within US politics. Depending on the topic, I would either start a new thread or post a reply in someone's threads using her videos. I then thought "why not start a Rachel Maddow thread where I can bring up some of the...

Shouldn't Fox News check the veracity of the information they broadcast? Rachel Maddow shred them to pieces on tonight's show here, and here.

Today the Senate voted down a bill that would have helped millions of unemployed workers.

Interesting article about the Californian budget crisis and how it would affect the entire nation. The article mentions how Americans complain about paying too much taxes "when in reality we don't pay enough."

Once again, Dr. Rachel Maddow, who may be considered by many on this forum to be "too extreme," brought up yet another important issue, this time concerning civil rights and the Kentucky Senate candidate Rand Paul. Find here an article on the New York Times which has an embedded video from the...

From the New York Times Now the president and all the stressed out politicians will be able to legally smoke pot (if they have a qualifying medical condition, of course). :sidestep:

From Rachel Maddow's blog Your thoughts?

I have several friends working in the tourism business in Arizona, hence my concern for their well being. I spoke to a couple of them, who are now thinking about relocating to another state in case they loose their jobs. Apparently the governor is in denial as far as boycotts are concerned...

My friend sent me this picture of a wild snake. The trail where the picture was taken is in Lake Forest, Orange County, Southern California. Any guess what type of snake that is?

This is the article: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/04/magazine/04animals-t.html?ref=magazine Here is my question: Have you ever owned a homosexual animal/pet? I have always lived in big cities. The norm was to have just one pet at the time, so I never had the chance to witness something like...

Hello old and new friends! I just wanted to stop by to say all is well with Kinky and me. My DIY project is still working perfectly, just as I suspected it would. Lauri, thanks for the messages you left me. There are so many people that sometimes I think about and yet I never met. Carol...

This year I decided to give up the comfort of a nice hotel to experience something different - Burning Man. "Trying to explain what Burning Man is to someone who has never been to the event is a bit like trying to explain what a particular color looks like to someone who is blind."...

Happy B-day Chsnakes, or as we say, Feliz Aniversario!!! :D :cheers:

I have a 100g saltwater tank that is the focus point of my living room. I love the fishkeeping hobby and I've been doing it since I can remember, first with freshwater, now with saltwater. Unfortunately this weekend was a disaster for me! Everything started last Friday (03/07) when I bought...
