Thanks for the advice... I just ordered the PL-380 from Amazon... I let you know what I think when it eventually gets here... No projected arrival date...

This thread started with Moto wanting to know about The Brass Ring, a great recording used in a cigerette commercial. So today, I'm listening to my cable companies 70's music channel and I hear Blue Swede "Hooked On A Feeling"...you know the one with "ooga chugga, ooga chugga". I wanted to find out where that came from. Turns out it was orginally a single by Jonathon King in 1971, several years before Blue Swede. It never was big in the U.S., but was in Europe. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNLo7OzNd_Q" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNLo7OzNd_Q</a> Jonathon King also gave us this gem from the mid-60's: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEOvou30T_I" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEOvou30T_I</a> Just some Sunday afternoon fun stuff.

Thanks for agreeing that I asked a fair question. Now it's time for you to give a fair answer. You essentially NEVER cite MSNBC, ABC, Huffpost, or the CSM. I'm seeing lots of Breitbart and Weekly Standard, which I imagine (given how much you like to confirm your biases against liberals) is just the tip of the iceberg of where you truly spend most of your time. This is not a "gotcha" question. I want a reading list. I want to see what you read. I want to go there and read those sources. I want to see what you are reading to cause you to be so rabidly anti-Obama. Maybe...just maybe...there is some merit to your arguments, and I need to go to the source to find it. If you can't name them, you are ashamed of them. And if that's true, that's all I need to know.

Fair question, Edselehr. There is of course no single perfectly balanced news source. Much of what's out there comprises a target rich environment for bias, and I'm in agreement that it comes from both sides. If Ralph Nader was a newsman, I'd likely trust him more than anyone. Having said that, along with conservative sources, online I often read MSNBC, ABC News and the Huffington Post among others, like occasionally the Christian Science Monitor. Given that more than 80% of reporters vote Democrat, bias is baked in and rarely acknowledged. This makes the enhanced scrutiny of news reporting simply common sense. <a href="http://archive.mrc.org/biasbasics/biasbasics3.asp" rel="nofollow">http://archive.mrc.org/biasbasics/biasbasics3.asp</a>

I'd probably take Biden over Obama. Deal! Biden wouldn't win in 16' Hillary has that by a landslide unless you CONs come up with another savior like DUHbya....

" Do you really want Biden in there Herb?" I'd probably take Biden over Obama. He may have a mouth that needs a serious leash on it, maybe even a choke chain, but he's fairly smart and experienced on what should be done at the government level. I doubt anyone seriously wants Obama impeached, even if it could be done. That would put Biden in as President and in a good position for 2016. Not good. I think the real goal here is to improve Republican odds in 2014, and to render Democrats weakened in 2016. That's politics.

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.

jr_tech on "Yaw's Top Notch CLOSED"

jr_tech — Sun, 19 May 2013 11:40:51 +0000

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.

The poll hadn't yet taken into account this administration's spying on the press. Spin on, leftist sock puppets.
