...ever since Obama won his bid for a second term as President of the United States!  :biggrin:

Yeah, I know...it's the end of the world as we know it...

There's also been a drone strike on a conservative neighborhood on the south side of Indy!

If y'all stopped watching the news after the shock of the election, you missed a real eye-popper. Where I live it's all over the place. The Washington Post has covered it extensively.

While President Obama was getting re-elected, General Petraeus, Director of the CIA, of all people, confessed he'd had an affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell. The affair was said to have ended, but apparently not for her. She thought he was involved with someone else (other than his wife) and starting sending threatening e-mails, using a fake name. The woman, who thought she was dealing with a stalker,  became so concerned she mentioned it to an acquaintance who works for the FBI. The FBI friend did some checking and found out the real name of the sender. Then he noticed that she knew General Petraeus, and because of some things she'd written, checked further because of the possibility of compromise of national intelligence. One thing led to another until he found out that Broadwell and Petraeus were romantically involved. More FBI people got involved, and it was eventually decided there was no intelligence breach, but because somebody in the FBI told a House republican and perhaps others, that brought politics into the mess mix, so it was decided the Director of National Intelligence should know. He (James Clapper, AF General who was at one time the  Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency) "learned of the situation from the FBI on Tuesday evening around 5 p.m." a senior U.S. intelligence official said. Director Clapper advised Petraeus to resign... "it was Clapper who told the White House late Wednesday, with Obama learning about it a day later. A senior administration official defended the decision not to notify the president earlier, saying that staff 'needed to get their arms around' the matter before briefing Obama, who had returned from his election trip to Chicago on Wednesday night."

Yeah, CNN just broke information that the FBI has arrived at the home of the biographer just this evening.

There's more. This morning the news is that Jill Kelly, the 37-year-old Tampa woman who reported the threatening e-mails to the FBI, is a close friend of Petraeus and his wife, and ...  and, "The Pentagon announced early Tuesday" that she has been exchanging "potentially inappropriate" e-mails with Gen. John R. Allen, a marine and commander of U.S. and NATO troops in Afghanistan.
