    I've been going there since it opened in 2008, and the dishes have never disappointed me. Below is the website with the menu. Check it out, go, and enjoy.

    It makes no difference how much they disagree with Trump--those Republicans who insist they will vote for him are still endorsing him and what he stands for and are doing their utmost to get him elected.

    McSally and McCain are afraid to stand up against evil, but of course, I'm assuming that they perceive him as evil. Perhaps they really agree with him and only outwardly disagree on some points to court wavering voters.

    To Third Party,

    But, we have a real problem in THIS election. You are just trying to avoid making a real decision that is here and now. It's too late to build a viable third party for THIS election.

    After THIS election is the time to START building a third party for coming elections.

    To AVL,

    I guess we must be reading two different articles, for in the version I read, nowhere does Jefferson Carter say that poets suck. In my version of the article, he criticizes political poetry and points out some timeworn cliches in the poems he presents.

    You don't point out where you disagree with his evaluation of the examples he cites. Does that mean you agree with his critique?

    A more effective defense of your position would have been to have presented some political poetry from one of the great poets you mentioned.

    Great poets write great poetry, regardless of whether it is political or not.

    "To Kill a Mockingbird" is a childhood memory of a loved parent, but it is only half of the true picture, which we get in "Watchman." I see no contradiction between the two works.

    The readers' love for Atticus or their view of themselves is a separate issue and does NOT take away from the meaning or relationship between the two works.

    Does that mean I can't drink German beer or French wine or eat Chinese or any Asian dishes, as well as Mexican, various European or African foods? Can I whine about people in other cultures who wear Levi's?

    What totally unmitigated nonsense.
