Blago’s Pick Built a Monument to Himself

Just when you thought this Blago situation couldn’t get any weirder (or disgraceful) comes the above photo of the mausoleum that his senate appointee, Roland Burris, built for himself in Chicago. Time Magazine reported on it this morning, and thankfully an enterprising person on Flickr went out and captured an image of this unbelievable site for all to see. Click here to see a high res version of the above photo so you can read all about Burris’ resume, accomplishments, and “other major accomplishments” that are already carved onto his very elaborate grave.
Time has a great fact sheet on the former Illinois Attorney General and wannabe Senator that can be found here.
Review of the Creative Gigaworks HD50 Speakers
December 31, 2008 by admin · View Comments
The Creative Labs GigaWorks HD50 speakers are very disappointing. For the high price tag and superb build quality I was expecting a speaker set that rivaled the premium offerings by Bose and other manufacturers. I was so surprised with how poor the sound quality was that I had to hook it up to a few additional sources to be certain it wasn’t my equipment.
Sound is tinny and chock full of distortion even at moderate volume settings. The “BasXPort technology” is nothing but a marketing exec’s description of a hole at the top of the speaker. The reality is practically zero low range bass. The set could benefit from a subwoofer but at that point there are already plenty of more affordable options.
I rarely give a one star review, but I simply can’t recommend these speakers at the asking price. They are nothing more than mid range computer speakers wrapped in a more attractive package.
I am a a member of the Amazon Vine Voices program. Every month Amazon sends me a few products that are new or coming soon to market to review on their site.
