Love this guy! Hannan has pointed out in his great book "New New Road to Serfdom," how Europe has fallen from the democratic ideal to a bureaucratized EU supranational government in which citizens of the EU countries have virtually no power to effect change. Under Obama, we would go the same wa...

Michelle Bachmann has more brains in her little finger than Pelosi in her entire frickin' ugly body. The women is the dumbest member of Congress, but, ironically, an approporiate face for the mindless Democxrats she represents. And the Democrats are consistent because they selected another BOOB...

Look at this fawning idiot hang on his every word.

There was Uncle Mistletoe, introduced by Field’s in the 1946, whose cherubic face graced many places in the store and in the Christmas window displays outside. On television, local television personality, Uncle Johnnie Coons, was the voice for the Uncle Mistletoe television program. I still hav...

The Steelworkers Union sacrificed the jobs of thousands of its members in Gary, IN and elsewhere. Now they want to blame big business. And if their greed didn't get them, automation would. This is a simplistic world view of someone with a mediocre voice.

All, or nearly all, of the radio programs are available on CD or MP3, and many are available on Old Time Radio sites. But the television show has never resurfaced. This one episode did find its way into a VHS collection of 24 old television shows which were originally on radio. I believe there ...

The biggest moron and fraud on the planet. He wanted us to sacrifice our economy and increase our energy costs by $3,000-$4,000 per year per family to reduce globally-averaged temperatures by 0.07 degrees C by 2100 (Kyoto). No wonder he won't debate anyone. Christopher Monckton, for one, would w...

I know. It's all a conspiracy against you poor, clueless lefties and Obamanauts.

You are nothing but a bunch a children throwing temper tantrums who think the United States is going to roll over because you know how to defecate in public. We have something called an electoral process, not your ...

James Inhofe is a genuine Senate hero in the war against the "global warming " extremists.

He has the radical left, the wacko environmentalists, the Hollywood lunatics, MoveOn.org, George Soros, and the scientific illiterate, Barack Obama, in his sights.

CFact and Lord Monckton are a genuine 21st century heroes, fearlessly taking on the intellectually bankrupt global warming fraud. Over $80 billion in federal research dollars have aleady been spent to advance this fraud. Global warming as some kind of crisis is the greatest scientific hoax in a...

Can't wait to see him mop the floor with the Obamanation!

Awful. What a waste of strings. And she doesn't know how to dress appropriately when singing a religious song. She should stick to the pop crap is normally sings.

Just as Björling beat the Italians at their own game in singing Verdi and Puccini, Leoncavallo and Mascagni, here he bests the Russians in the most beautiful rendition of Prince Igor's aria. Ths is belle canto singing at its finest.

One of the truly greats. Sayao sang with such emotion and delicacy.

The kind of voice that can melt your heart. Brava, Bidu!

How great it is to have a "debate" without the idiotic MSM types asking the questions. Newt is clearly the best qualified to be president and has a better grasp of the issues and the bigger picture. It would be a delight to watch him wipe the floor with the Obamanation in debate.

Gary's plight is a result of many factors, but the chief cause is the Great Society welfare state that institutionalized dependency and illegitimacy. In 1950, black illegitimacy was actually lower than white illegitimacy, but by 1970 it was on a steep rise. Now, it excceeds 75% in many urban en...

Björling never recorded "Romeo & Juliet" commercially, although he did record this aria from it, and several live performances exist. This performance is justly considered one of the greatest Met performances of all time. One reviewer called it "a state of grace performance."

Björling was a tru...

Björling #1, Pavarotti #19, Lanza, #67, Bocelli #543

There is no question. Björling had the most consistently beautiful voice of the 20th century, and had the ability, above all others, to move an audience to their soul. The others could not do this. He impressed his colleagues, or other singe...

Jussi at his most ardent. Listen, in particular, to his solo at the 4:20 mark. No one could sing like Bjorling. He had more than a great voice, delivered with skill, passion and grace, but had the ability to emotionally effect his audience like no other voice. He did not with exaggerated thea...

A Jussi BJörling Centennial Concert will take place at Gustavus Adolphus Lutheran Church on Oct. 27, 2011 at 8 pm, featuring the wonderful Swedish tenor, Mats Carlsson. No Björling fan will want to miss it. It's the first of seven concerts to be held in the U.S. from Oct. 27 to Nov. 7.

A voice of rare refinement and artistic sensibility. One of my favorite sopranos. In this role, she was matchless. She was also the perfect Juliet to Jussi Björling's Romeo, as the Feb. 1, 1947 live recording from the Met will attest. Her voice had a timeless, ethereal quality that will live ...

What a pairing: Björling and Tebaldi. One of Jussi's most empassioned operatic recordings. No one can touch him.

Gorgeous music, played in an industrial environment. The irony is that such a cultured people, even to the factory worker, could produce and enjoy great music yet sanction such a murderous regime.

The words "dark" and "bright", etc. are often misused when describing the voice of Björling and others. Björling's voice adapted to the music. Just compare the sound of "Ingemisco" with that of the Swedish song "Trollsjön" (Troll's Lake) in the 1957 recording. Björling changed his coloring as ...

No, your grandparents were not dumb. They were subject to the limitations of knowledge at the time they lived. Your need a better sense of historical perspective. In another 60 years, your grandchildrne might think the same of you for believing the global warming crisis scam. Think about it.

Hardly corny. This show, which was around at the birth of TV, was full of humor and humanity, such that as many adults watched it as kids. Burr Tillstrom was a genius who did this show extemporaneously and did all the voices. Fran Alison played off of his characters. We all loved her. He was...

Masterful singing. Jussi was always true to the composer's intent, without forced artifice, but enriched by his unique vocal timbre, technical brlliance, and haunting soulfulness. The climax in this number is simply spectacular. Indeed, the recordings of Swedish songs he made in 1957 are insp...

Fantastic. No wonder the 25 music critics assembled by Classic CD magazine in 1999 ranked Björling the greatest singer of the 20th century. Pavarotti is good, but they gave him a #19 ranking. But whether to the astute listener or to the critic, Björling;s artistry combined more of the elements...

A beautiful folk song from Gotland sung with great musicality.

What church is this?

There was none greater than Jussi Björling. As George London once said: "When Jussi opened his mouth, everybody just fell over." This performance of "Romeo and Juliet" was one of the greatest performances in the history of the Metropolitan Opera.
