Einah! Mean, but probably true…

I don’t really think Romney will do anything about this bill either, and President Oprah would probably endorse it and say the victims were damaged by their own negative thoughts. Where are the honourable politicians?

I suspect it’s more likely you’re right about Romney than I am. My comment is based more on hope than reality. The most likely scenario is he’ll encourage impeachment if that scenario presents itself, but otherwise will be, as you predict, loyal to the party.

As a child I kept some axolotls, but they were not albino. They are meat eaters, and dirty their aquarium big time, a lot of work.
I also heard they would grow up to be adult salamanders if fed thyroxine, but the ones I gave thyroid glands for food just grew big (like 30 cm), they remained larval.
They apparently can reproduce from their larval stadium, which is kinda weird.
Did not know about their resistance to ‘cancer’, I tend to take that with a grain of salt. How was that studied?

I hadn’t been aware of this bill, though it’s been in force for many years. The LA Times article was terribly depressing. Such naked greed, but that’s the way of the world these days. There’s so much wrong with the FDA. If Romney runs for and wins Hatch’s seat, I won’t hold my breath waiting for him to repeal it, though I’d love to be proved wrong. Ironically, there are a heck of a lot of exceedingly stringent regulations on the sale of cannabis in California.

The very tiny piglet doing a porcine pirouette was cute as all get-out.. Kinda reminds me of the penguin boinging around like it was on a pogo stick, which I think you tweeted.

Re. the Axolotl- I wonder if organisms who undergo metamorphosis are naturally resistant to cancer because their cells are more malleable…whatever that means. Their cancer-resistance is a new and interesting fact for me regardless.

I like that duck and its caretakers- you go ducky! I also want one of those pot-bellied pigs! Holy crap they’re cute. When I was a teen, I wanted one (a friend of my older brother’s sister bred and sold them) but my parents said ‘NO’. We had a lot of dogs, so I understand. Plus teens suck at taking care of pets, or else they eventually leave the home and the parents are stuck with their kids’ pets.
