Poke Me with a Stick

205361911 So, I searched buy.com for speakers this morning. Polk speakers. A framed portrait of President James Polk was in the search results.

Really?

As odd as a framed portrait of a B list President is, I dunno maybe he has a huge cult following, but for $75!? That's all kinds of nuts.

Have you been by Circuit City? They finally have some good deals out here (not sure about speakers though).

I'd probably put him on the C or D list for Presidents.

i haven't been in a while. i was discouraged because at first they marked everything up to MSRP and then announced 10% savings! right. their prices were cheaper at christmas. i will make my way over there soon.

C sounds about right. he was one of those Hopey Changey kind of presidents who didn't instill much hope and didn't change much beyond the party in power.

hey, remember when i bought those polk speakers for my buick at state street discount? i loved those speakers so much, i've been a fan of Polks for life.

I do remember those speakers, they sounded great. When I was in Florida, I had a 10 in. Polk subwoofer--good times with that.

Now I have a Denon system with Boston Accoustics speakers/subwoofer. SOunds good, but there's something about Polk.
