Our post-partisan President reached a new low yesterday. Speaking at Zingerman’s in Ann Arbor, Michigan he declared Paul Ryan’s budget a “stinkburger” or “meanwich.” Obama is apparently promoting an increase in the minimum wage. He went to Zingerman’s because they allegedly offer a “fair” wage. The left doesn’t seem to understand that a “fair” wage is whatever an employee agrees to work for. In other words, it isn’t determined by government bureaucrats or academics. That’s beside the point of course, we know Obama believes everything in our lives must be decided in Washington. The problem of course is that Zingerman’s isn’t the place to make this argument and the Paul Ryan budget is really not relevant to anything.

Zingermans would go bankrupt trying to sell $14 Rubans anywhere but the liberal $hithole of Ann Arbor.
Because he wants us to click the link back to his blog and pump up his hit count?
Wow. Your right. He clearly needs a “Man Servant” like they have on Downton Abbey. They never would have such a flux pas like that.
How presidential.
Having grown up in that area of Michigan, I would travel to Zingerman’s for history’s sake. I wouold not order the Reuben (i don’t like saurkraut) but Zingerman’s is among a small number of “take-out” restaurants in that area that created the original coney dog.
When I go home, I “try like hell” to go to one of the “original’s” between Chicago and Detroit.
Anyone that advocates raising the min wage to $10.10 and is not only willing but more than happy to pay $14 for a damn sandwich is an idiot that doesn’t need to be anywhere near the Oval Office.
“$14 is a reasonable price for a sandwich because I care.”
I don’t spend $14 to shove actual food in my face for a week and this idiot spends it on one damn sandwich and thinks it’s great and everyone should be happy to pay it.
When the Article V convention is assembled, hopefully they will consider an “American citizen liberty act”, in which, without any penalty whatsoever, “American citizens only” can refuse any direct interface with the national government.
(This is a rough draft of the concept)
This means that they may choose for their citizenship, first and foremost, to be with their individual state, that it acts as a buffer between them and the federal government, minimizing contact or influence by the national government.
In practice it means that they do not pay taxes of any sort directly to the federal government. They do not benefit from Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Obamacare, or other largess, *in exchange for which* they cannot be taxed or otherwise punished, including the denial of licenses, for this rejection, either from the national or state government.
Likewise they cannot be prohibited from using interstate means of public transport, from crossing national borders, from accessing federal courts, or denied any other right, natural or afforded all citizens.
Part of the act will be to list what exactly the federal government can do as a form of interface. It may request states to provide an “actual enumeration only” of those individuals, records of any state felony conviction, and outstanding felony warrants.
States will maintain the Selective Service System records for such persons, and any federal military draft may only demand proportional numbers of potential inductees, to come from equivalent measures of both federal citizens and state citizens.
(as you can tell, this is both a draft and under-defined as to its particulars, but this “divorce” from the federal government needs to integrate over 100 years of “progressive” efforts to federalize direct national control over the citizenry.)
“Sure would be nice if Obama would keep his hands out of mine.”
Front and back.
That boy got the look of someone that will play “pocket pool” in a heartbeat if you let him.
What made it so expensive is the sandwich was grilled between the thighs of Scarlett Johansson.
I haven’t had a Reuben in years
Here ya go:
He’s trying to reason with Danny Partridge in that scene,
I worked for a retail company that had Ann Arbor locations in the 1980’s.
It is a little pocket of fantastically expensive housing costs. We found you could not hire locals at anything close to the minimum wage. You had to offer substantially more than that to get most of your help to drive over from Jackson, 35 miles away. And you were scroooood if it snowed.
The Ruben costs fourteen bucks, and the help is making a “living wage” because those are the market conditions in the local area. Their rent is likely so high the whole thing is a wash.
The original coney was invented in Jackson, Mi.
Jackson Coney Island is the only place you can get an original coney.
“Birthplace of the Coney Island Hot Dog[edit]
In 1914 George Todoroff founded the first coney island restaurant and created his famous coney island hot dog topping. His coney island restaurant was located directly in front of the railroad station located on East Michigan Ave and was open 24 hours. The restaurant proved to be a popular dining option for rail passengers, and over the course of 31 years George sold over 17 million coney dogs. Today two coney island restaurants unaffiliated with Todoroffs sit in a building near the train station on East Michigan Avenue. In addition to this several area restaurants throughout the Jackson area offer their own version of the coney island hot dog, or just “coney” as referred to by local residents. Jackson’s version of the coney dog is distinctly different than what you will find at Detroit area coney island restaurants as well as other coney island restaurants throughout Michigan and the midwest.[8]”

Thanks.
My family (on my father’s side) and George T go back a-ways. My Grampa Earl and GT were “social contemporaries” (shared a few weekend vino’s together). Funny how that works because my mother’s side were “social” with Win Schuler and sons.
I’m sure Crip knows either George or one of the kids.
Jack-town’s Todoroff’s is an “everytime I come home” visit.
Do you frequent the DogHouse on Lansing Ave? Another gem of Jack-town!
I worked at Jackson Coney Island back in the early 60’s in every step of the process.
I have the original coney sauce recipe and just make my own at home.
I substitute deer hearts for the beef heart though.
As we have seen many times in the past, any company that obama praises will fail.
You can now put Zingerman on that list.
