For a look at where rule by Democrats will get us, look no further
than Detroit. Detroit, ruled for many years by a Dem mayor and by
the
unions is a failed city more resembling Mogadishu than a US city.
Demo mis-rule has resulted in a dying economy with high
unemployment
and schools with a 24% graduation rate.
Of course, if you want to see Dem economics on a larger scale, one
can
see the failed state of California, hopelessly broke with no
possibility of paying its bills but the legislature still
increases
the budget to pay for pay increases for state employees.
Then there is the War on Terror which we were assured was over,
ooops, dont pay attention to the guy on the plane landing
in............Detroit.
On Thursday, I was told by a local Demofool that having TSA check
for
"build a bomb e-route" materials was stupid because it could not
happen..........oooops. Sorta reminds me of when Clinton was Pres
and
George Will wrote an article about using aircraft as weapons
against
buildings and the Dems said it was just a paranoid
fantasy...ooopps.
Now the union Members are somehow responsible, for Islamic
Terrorism,
and the Globalist Banking theft, of our economy and almost
collapse. idiot.
They will solve airplane terrorism by making everyone, including
crew
board naked, as a jay bird, and handcuffing them to the seats. The
luggage will be sent by ground transport.
Makes me wonder why the Bus lines and Railroads aren't even in the
hunt
for passengers.

Can nom prove Bush was warned about 9/11? I can prove Clinton was
offered Bin Laden and refused.
Nah, no relationshipe tween the nearly $2000 extra a GM vehicle
costs
relative to a foreign car and union gold plated pensions and
overpaid
union workers.
Global theft, oh, you mean the rotund Barney Frank.
I don't think their is anyone that believes Bush etc had anything to
do
with 9/11. The people that try to infer that junk are trying to rabble
rouse.
2,000 extra? How about the Joan Clabrooks and NHTSA and EPA?
How about the bean counter engineering from Wall Street?
Gold plated pensions must mean being able to afford anything but
McDonalds.

McDonalds is no longer a valid representation of "cheap in comparison".
The other night we ordered two burgers and two fries, it came to 12
dollars. For the price of a meal (with desert) at McDonalds, now you can
sit down at several local establishments for a nice fresh cooked meal...

You have to learn to use their 'dollar menu' and drink 'senior
coffee'. Four chicken sandwiches and a cup of coffee for less than
five bucks. Take the chicken off two of the sandwiches, put it on the
other two. Now you've got two 'good' chicken sandwiches and a cup of
coffee for five bucks. Cheap.

Not that I would ever do that, of course.

DAaaaayyyyyyeeeeemmmmmm John...;)

Back in the 1960's we would buy a dozen McD burgers at 15 cents each. Take
them back to where we worked on our race cars and lived and toss a1/2-2/3 of
the buns and stack the extra paddies on the remaining buns. Made a decent
burger then. $0.20 for a shake. Talk about inflation.


Damn, back then I was a growing boy and wouldn't throw away anything.

We had White Castle in Chicago before McD came around. 12 cents, and
tasty. I tried a McD when they opened one on my paper route. 1959 or
1960. 79th and Phillips.
Cardboard. Felt I was ripped off 3 cents. Didn't try your trick
about throwing away the buns. Sinful in my family.
Still prefer White Castle. Pretty much has to be an emergency to get
me in McD.
Tried the shake too. Phony. I could get a real ice cream malt for 30
cents. Even then the extra dime was worth it.
After Charlie Manson, McD is probably the worse thing wrought by
California.
But that's off the cuff. I'm sure there's more.

McD does have drinkable coffee now. That's a big step up for them,
along with clean bathrooms. Oh, and my wife likes their iced tea.

True enough. We stop there on the road for the bathrooms, and my wife
can always eat their chicken.
I confine myself to the biscuit/pork sausage/egg sandwiches early in
the morning when we hit the road from a motel.
Only place open usually, and she HAS to eat.
But I always consider it an emergency when I stop there.
Those biscuits go down good, but you pay later.

Never saw that. But if you ever has a White Castle you know it won't
come close. Can't get hamburger with horsemeat at the store.
Happy New Year!
And thank you for saying that.

We did not have White Castle, but we did have Bobo's. Great 14 cent
burgers. But it was by University and San Pablo in Berkeley and was at
least 3x the drive. Maybe 3 miles, instead of 1 mile. And we were young
and immortal.

That thing just cooks both sides of a small piece of meat. White Castles
are great. Kids used to have me get a bunch to bring home to Calif when I
went to Chicago on business. Any meat steamed on top of a grill full of
onions and then have the bun soak up the meat juice and onion flavor has to
be fantastic.

You hit on the key thing there. There was a Vienna dog place on the
south side that often had a line outside. Bought many dogs there.
The reason they were better than other places was they steamed the
buns. Wrapping good fries in the paper with the dogs didn't hurt
either.

Here in New Jersey, White Castle never went away, and it now seems like
they are expanding. So, maybe you'll get lucky and they will return to
your area. You can always check he
