Love Yahoo, Love Google Chrome--Yummy Food on the Yahoo Homepage

Marissa Mayer
Marissa Mayer--has good recipes
Just tried the new Yahoo app for Google Chrome....Love it!

It gives me the Yahoo home page on a new tab.

Now, I love Google and use it on my Chromebook several times a day--every day--all day.

But, I also like the Yahoo Newspaper---read it every day for  current news and trending news, can easily see the weather.....it's pretty.

I like the set-up of the Yahoo Newspaper and it is easy to use.....but what is really beautiful are all of those recipes.

It seems like Marissa Mayer really hit the nail on the head with this little newspaper and the food page.

The foods pictured have useful recipes, easy and difficult, good nutrition and calorie info......it's fun to visualize.

Also, reading Google News everyday, too, and of course, G-mail is the bomb.

Tech girl and blogger.......love it.....the ronnie republic.

Geraldo Rivera: Giving a Voice to The Working Class

from the ronnie republic radio round-up........

It has to be said, for a conservative news/talk radio broadcast Geraldo Rivera gives a chance for the average working class individual to have a voice--to speak and be heard.

"I appreciate all of my calls today because they have been so thoughtful and heartfelt."

Seriously, this is unheard of in right wing radio and television news.

Good job to WABC Radio New York and Geraldo Rivera and his partner Noam Laden for letting the average guy get their ideas out there.

Well done.

Thank Goodness Geraldo is Back!!!!!

Geraldo Rivera
Geraldo Rivera--the boys are back in town
The one thinking Republican on the planet has returned to his radio show on WABC New York Talk Radio after his much needed vacation to Rome..........I'm jealous.

Seriously, my daughter wasn't in Rome 5 minutes before she said......have you seen the leather jackets here?  I just feel like it would be wrong to leave Rome without actually getting one.

Back to G/jay........got in a good go round with Alan Dershowitz about the recent collective punishment of the Palestinians from Israel.

My question.........why is Gaza/Palestine an occupied country.  How does anyone do anything.

Geraldo.....why not have someone like Doc Jazz on your show for an interview.  He is trying to bring the world together with music....and he is a surgeon...an average working successful individual trying to go on with the activities of daily living and suffering the trials and tribulations of occupation.  Lets chat with this regular work-a-day guy and see what he says.  Lets see......Doc Jazz.....what is your take on the current situation.  What are you good ideas to stop the violence.

Also we got to hear from my favorite talking cop, Bernie Kerik.  Love to hear his take on things.....my favorite part about Bernie.......he always speaks with a certain compassion towards police officers and the guys on the street in a way that is loving and refreshing.  It sends a good message out there for the police and the citizens.  Talking about stop and frisk and how it affects the officers walking the beat in New York City today.

Noam Laden, news/jay and fellow talker on the show shared with us his agreement and disagreement with Geraldo Rivera about the situation in Palestine since he does have family in Israel.

This Israel/Palestine situation is extremely difficult.  Geraldo said the one way for sure to wreck a media career in NYC is to bash the actions of Israel.

At the end of the day, Geraldo Rivera, is not afraid to stand up for what he believes in and suffer the heated radio back lash.

All the bashers that I had to endure while he was gone....Mad man Mendte, Stunningly beautiful and successful and stunningly incorrect Judge Jeanine Pirro; it was exhausting to hear them yell and shout.  Judge Napolitano was okay with his back and forth over police actions in the city.

The home grown talent of Rita Cosby and Noam Laden are always enjoyable as they can think, talk and disagree all at the same time without getting angry....who knew.......

Again asking the age old question.........will the talk show inspire new thoughts with chat and info about current events or shall we adopt the opinions of the shouting host.

I'm sticking with Geraldo Rivera on this one.

from the ronnie republic radio round-up.........and thank you to Larry Mendte for being my friend on facebook......welcome you opinion and thoughts.......cl

Judge Jeanine Pirro: Stunningly Beautiful and Stunningly Incorrect--Where in the world is Geraldo Rivera

from the desk of the Ronnie Republic Radio Round-Up:

Judge Jeanine Pirro--stunningly beautiful but stunningly incorrect.

When will WABC News/Talk Radio New York finally come to its senses and use their own talent and lose these angry radio jays on their anti-President Obama rant.

In the first place it is not a political conversation--it does not inspire new thoughts or an exchange of ideas it's just angry birds shouting at the listeners.

Where in the world is Geraldo Rivera and when is he coming back.....

Shall I switch to a local station for the anti-Obama daily tirade of lies.

Noam Laden--thinks and talks at the same time without getting mad


Seriously, here in Wichita, we have Koch-backed Mike Pompeo chanting about Obama care causing a loss of jobs and proudly stating he has voted against it 57 times.

Really, because these progressive thinking Kansas politicians also just voted against birth control.

Couple that with their desert waste land of lack grocery stores and we've got the conservative heartland.

That's right--someone told me here President Obama was so influenced by his Muslim advisers he was not able to make proper decisions.  This man was serious--he learned it in church.

Judge Jeanine Pirro is spreading the lies........

Why not use their brilliant home-grown talent on hand...........

What is WABC thinking...what about Noam Laden and Rita Cosby....even Judge Napolitano.....they run a show of conversation and chat and information--angry shouting is not fun or informational listening.  One side is not interesting.

The age old question remains......

Mad man Mendte--often incorrect, always angry
Are we listening to talk/news radio for interesting conversation of the day--for new pertinent information--for the political big talkers on each side--or just to hear the angry right wing rant of conservative republicans.

Shall we only have the opinion of the angry GOP shouters and not form thoughts for ourselves based on information.

Stunningly beautiful but sadly incorrect
And the Republican Party wonders what is happening....

Shall I go into the legacy of our beautiful President here.......okay just for Judge Jeanine and Mad man Mendte.......who is also incorrect.

We have health care now for everyone--what is their better idea for health care and preventative medicine--no one benefits from citizens not having health care....it is more expensive for all of us in the long run.

Everyone is now part of the political conversation--that is President Obama's brilliant legacy.

Prior to this many were just talked at rather than talked to....now everyone is in the conversation and a part of it.  this is a first...it all began when President Obama spoke against Rush Limbaugh during the Sandra Fluke episode.  That is new--for a sitting president to actually mention names.

At the end of the day the world is a better place--he made it personal.

Judge Jenine should be thinking two times about her influence on women as a successful individual and women, herself.  I admire Judge Jeanine Pirro but here is hoping she will come to her senses.

No one minds if they have a different opinion but to spend the show shouting the angry political rant of the right wing does not a political conversation or a radio show make.

Just ask Naom Laden and Rita Cosby--they do not freak-out or shout--they ask the caller what they think and listen....do we agree with them...who knows.......
