    Not sure which I liked more, the Ronco Pocket Fisherman or the Ronco Mr. Microphone or, probably my favorite, the Ronco Glass Maker.

    Nothing like cutting a bottle with a glass cutter and then hoping you sanded off the chips and edges really well before you put it to your lips.

    A bygone era of our childhood. With only 3 channels and maybe one independent, pretty sure every one of us watched those ads a LOT.
    People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.

    "The cap snaffler" was a hit in our house. And the Ronco Record Vacuum. "It will even vacuum your 78's"

    “Before I leave I’d like to see our politics begin to return to the purposes and practices that distinguish our history from the history of other nations,
    “I would like to see us recover our sense that we are more alike than different. We are citizens of a republic made of shared ideals forged in a new world to replace the tribal enmities that tormented the old one. Even in times of political turmoil such as these, we share that awesome heritage and the responsibility to embrace it.”
