Hey guys

The most convinient place for my bedini clarifier is almost less than a foot from my turntable.Is it safe for the cartridge if i use it ?

Joe Lieberman an John Mackey are on the right track.

America's foundation is self-determinism, and Lieberman and Mackey's take on the health care debate is important. No matter your stance on the issue, this is something so big, it deserves bipartisan energy and input.

Just as Saint Ronald used to spew the party line then choose the pragmatic result, so too will No Drama Obama and we will shift toward addressing these issues without 'free everything for everybody.'

US government's debt.

Everett Dirksen must be effing spinning in his grave.

1,000,000,000,000 times 20.

13 zeros, folks.

GDP was estimated at 14.4 trillion for 2008. So, the debt is currenlty less than one year's worth of GDP, but still.

The debt to GDP ratio is also very similar to that of Western Europe, so we are also not unique, but still.

Skew me to the right on this issue, I wish we had more budget hawks in DC and our state capitals.

20 trillion dollars.

When does PayGo start?

As a "former audiophile" who burned out in the 1990s, I haven't had anything resembling trendy or current audio gear in quite some time. I've been getting by with old Dynaco tube electronics, old Quad "57" Electrostatics, and affordable source components.

I'm considering replacing my Krell KCT preamp with either the Evo 202 or Evo 222. I'm currently using the KCT to drive a Krell FPB-700cx amp with Nordost MMF CAST. Does anyone know if there are any potential problems using the Evo preamp series to drive the previous generation Krell amps?

I just destroyed a brand new CD. Chris Isaak's latest to be exact. I bought it a couple of days ago, listened to it almost once, then threw it on the floor and stomped it into little pieces.

Anyway, to the real topic...

South African athlete raises concerns that she is not an actual female, and the governing body of her sport wants an 'inspection.'

Sounds fair, but dig who they want her checked out by:

"...internal medicine specialists, gynecologists, psychologists, geneticists and endocrinologists."

Interesting how these NFL players are facing up to crime and punishment.

Plaxico Burress owned a gun. Perfectly fine exercise of his Second Ammendment rights. he's a prominent guy and potential trouble target, so he packs some personal heat. Burress even had an (expired) concealed carry (CCW) license from Florida, but no New York license. Still, he went to the trouble of trying to abide by gun laws, when he could.

So, he is minding his own with his homies at a local club when the gun slides down his leg and as he goes to grab it, he accidentally shoots himself in the leg.
