More dirty work by Obama's IRS. Illegally seizing medical records in 2011.

When I was in Oregon in April, a friend and I went to Yaws. It was a little spendy but food and service was very good. Better food than the chains. It looks like the owner was the reason it failed. Poor management and the quickest way to get people to do a half assed job is to not pay them.

For those of us that missed it... How was the food and service? I have heard one comment from a friend that said that it was not up to "old Yaws" quality, but that is just one (sorta picky) person.

If Yaw is treating employees the same way he might have been allowed to treat them back in the '60s, that would explain a lot.

Herb, a serious question. What are the online sources you read regularly? Do you feel like you are getting a balanced view of the news? Edit add: What sources would you recommend a "leftie" read in order to get a truer sense of what is happening in the world?

They are serious! However, nobody is getting impeached. We do need to know the whole story, if anything to calm the stupid party down, who advised it's Congress members to not govern, just get after Obama. A toothache is serious Herb. We have a disagreement in priority. There are a lot of things we need to get done, and attempts to leverage these events as an excuse to obstruct is something I would love to see a poll on. The House voted to repeal the ACA, what 37 times? LOL! Like they know what the right priorities are. Like I said, stupid party. Yeah, you are playing the clown. And you've been right about what over the years? Buy your guys a cup Herb, because they are going to take another few to the sack.

I have the C. Crane CC Radio-SW that I bought last year to replace my venerable Sony ICF-2010 that served me so well for 25 years. Is it as good as the Sony? No, but few radios are. Is it worth the $139 price tag? Absolutely! You get accurate digital tuning and great sound. The only negative is that unlike the ICF-2010, there are not discrete one-touch saved frequency buttons, i.e. instead of having separate one-touch buttons for each freq, you have to push a button multiple times to cycle through your list of saved freqs (but this is the way it is with most radios today, except for the significantly more expensive Sangean ATS-909X).

Excellent story Steve thanks. And My favorite line from the whole article is. "and at the same time the radio companies are shooting themselves in the foot by cutting back and getting rid of personalities." So true- Radio needs personalities more than ever today. Dj's that can have some personality on the air and not sound like robots. I just wanted to say that Portland radio has some AWESOME female air talent that continue to put on great radio. Some of my favorites are Sheryl Stewert, and Daria. Sheryl Stewert always puts a great show on every day. She is informative, her talk breaks are always interesting. I hope sheryl gets to stay at the Buzz for a long time because she is a great talent. Inessa- another favorite of mine-has she turned up anywhere on the dial yet? I figured when she was let go from Kink that someone in the market would pick her up right away. Inessa was a natural on the air and a big loss for kink. Stacey Lynne is another favorite of mine, always puts on great radio.

I hope Yaw's can give it another shot - though, between this attempt and the Mark Lindsey incident, it does seem the gods are not in their favor. Maybe the family should just sell the rights and the recipes to a competent restauranteur and see if someone else can bring the Yaw's magic back.

Can you show me the harm done? Actually Portland is a smart city, and nobody likes the IRS going off the farm like that. Good thing it's being addressed by an administration who believes the IRS needs to be neutral as it should be, and one that thinks Citizens United is a really bad idea. <a href="http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/2013-05-16/news/fl-editorial-irs-obama-gs-20130516_1_tax-exempt-status-irs-commissioner-douglas-shulman-tea-party-group" rel="nofollow">http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/2013-05-16/news/fl-editorial-irs-obama-gs-20130516_1_tax-exempt-status-irs-commissioner-douglas-shulman-tea-party-group</a> Let's fix it. Full disclosure laws, laws that Republicans blocked. Yeah, and I know lots of people want to make it about Obama, and about those people who know better than to buy into manufactured garbage, but this will pass and the rational, fact based people will be shown to be on the right side of most issues, and on this one in particular. Go ahead though. If you want to pretend stuff, it's not a big deal, unless you think it is.

And if you ever get a letter from that agency … its ALWAYS bad news… Actually, several years ago the Master of Disaster received a thick envelope from them stating 'we increased your refund due to an error on your 1040,' with a several page explanation and several more pages explaining how to contest the decision if I didn't agree. Everything was printed on one side only. We all know paper and ink isn't exactly free; there was a postmark indicating they didn't send it cheaply, either. Having said that, with all due respect to everyone here Portland must be a city on drugs. If this news item happened under Bush's presidency there'd be protesting in the streets. However it seems the loopy-liberal equivalent to the 23-percenters still seem to think Obama is the best thing to happen since the invention of agnosticism. Oh, and don't blame me. The Master of Disaster voted third-party in 2008 and 2012, and doesn't regret it one bit. Obama reminds me of a mob boss. IMO. Actually, both Republicans and Democrats evoke shades of mobs.

I Agree on the PL-600 and the newer PL-660... In the islands, Shortwave might be worth the additional expense. The baby brother to the 600s is the tiny PL-380, which is a decent performer *and* under $50! <a href="http://www.amazon.com/TECSUN-stereo-Receiver-Display-Function/dp/B004H912FC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1368931316&sr=8-2&keywords=sw+radio" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/TECSUN-stereo-Receiver-Display-Function/dp/B004H912FC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1368931316&sr=8-2&keywords=sw+radio</a> Buttons are tiny... forget this one if you have big hands!
