I've noticed that some folks (often, including myself) come onto Newsvine (especially politics) with only a cursory understanding of the subject. Keeping with the motto of Newsvine, they (and I) often want to find out more about the subject, but are sometimes only mildly suc …

How do you shave - or do you?
Sun Apr 10, 2011 9:34 AM EDT
Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny - and I think I'm regressing. A few months ago I decided to change how I shave (when I do shave).

Snow! It won't be long before we're there with snow....!
Thu Feb 11, 2010 11:58 AM EST
After the recent double snowstorms I thought I'd take my camera for a walk. I'm not an avid photographer, but I like to try my hand from time to time. This is what my neck of the woods looked like after the recent snow.

H.R. 3200 - Free health care for illegal aliens - yes or no?
Sat Aug 8, 2009 8:43 PM EDT
There have been many articles on Newsvine lately that have discussed health care reform. Most of the ones I've seen have been broad in scope and shallow on real content.

Seeded on Wed Nov 19, 2008 1:39 PM EST (The Huffington Post)
I'm seeding this article for a number of reasons. First - it gives us a perspective of Alaska and Alaskans that differs from that which we may have developed based simply on Palin.
Did Obama get his health care and 'spread the wealth' ideas (at least in part) from Reagan?
Thu Nov 6, 2008 11:34 AM EST
Folks who follow heath-related matters I'm sure are familiar with the ups and downs of the Medicare Catastrophic Coverage Act (MCCA) of 1988 (P.L.

Some questions on Obama's tax voting record and approach hopefully answered.
Sun Nov 2, 2008 5:27 PM EST
Here's my first article - those of you who have read any of my posts know to expect a long text. If I've violated any rules, or have done something wrong there'll be no hard feelings on my part if the Newsvine monitors remove it. So - with that ...

rls8r,
If that comment was meant for me, I can't imagine why we aren't friends.
Request sent.
BTW - I think you live in one of the most beautiful places in the US. Been there many times - great bike country! But I won't tell anyone - it should stay just the way it is.
Great comments and seeds... Keep up the good work!
Take care!— McSpocky
I have to say that you seem to have a greater in-depth understanding of the content of proposals before the various levels/entities of government than anybody else that I have encountered. I will probably quote a number of your entries to save me the trouble of rewriting the same page, paragraph, section, line, etc. when responding to some of the rhetoric that is in the local message board and our weekly Newspaper (Big metropolis I live in, paper is published once a week). in Thanks for enlightening the eyes of a few as to what is fact and what is fiction.
Love your header. You definitely have a place here on the 'Vine!
