Actually, discrimination on the basis of politics is lawful. It was ruled so in a case out of MA in 2000 when a Republican was fired from his job for supporting W by his rabidly Democrat bosses. The court ruled that there are no laws forbidding political discrimination and the ruling still stands. I think all Republican bosses ought to hire good Republicans and fire Democrats. They hate business, especially corportations, so this ought not upset them too much.

I just got off the phone with their manager.. "I've heard the rumor, and it is total BS. It's someones pipe-dream Carlo, I swear it never happened".

This is a newer spot on Lower East Side, and they said they don't take reservations for a group smaller than 6, but he always gets a call or a visit before any security problem notables arrive, (this is standard for popular spots, I know from personal experience) he would have been told of the Presidents kids where on the way and no call or visit happened..

This is an urban myth in the making.. Of course I wasn't there but it sounded fishy to me, because this wouldn't be a wise move at all, no matter where it is. I believe him.

They can come over to my humble little home and I can cook 'em up some of the finest meals I can find on the outstanding FReeper recipe threads.

Anytime.

In NY, everything republican is profane and unwelcome.

If you are a lib then no matter you're a murderer, a traitor, a liar, a molester, a rap artist who fires off his gun in a crowded club.......you're welcome.

There used to be a fairly good TexMex on 46th, between 2nd and 3rd. Of course that was 24 years ago. Now that I'm back living in San Antonio, my problems center more around Greenpoint style Polish food. Especially kishka.

"This is in my neighborhood. I wouldn't be so sure that this isn't a publicity gimmick. I question whether this is true."

It's been years since I've been in New York, but I'd think a place that trendy and popular would require reservations, and if that's the case unless another name was used, the management would have known in advance who was coming. I'm not so sure this happened either.

Nothing like coming back to the Midwest hunting lodge after a day in the field to have some boar pâté and stuffed prunes. Yummy and very Midwestern. (Have these people ever been west of the Hudson?)

Yeah, I was about to say... The Midwest "hunting lodges" I've seen tended more towards T-bones and Budweiser.

I'm in a blue zone on a business trip at the moment. This is a dark and strange place - I do believe this, actually - while most people appear to me to just be carrying on with life as per usual, there are signs and hints of people choking on their sour grapes. I have been borrowing an office of someone who has a bumper sticker for "MOB" (Mothers Opposing Bush) on their corkboard. Next to my office was one with someone who still has a Kerry / Edwards sticker on their board. I've gone out to dinner with people who seem to think that it's unheard of to not vote for Kerry if you're from this particular region, it's almost a matter of regional identification for some to believe what the DNC says.

It's very strange. These people criticise conservatives for being closed-minded and ignorant, yet they are adhering to narrow prejudices, some based upon area of residence. And some appear to have no limit to the lengths they will go in adhering to a bias.

Regards, Ivan

Devils on Horseback--savory blue cheese-stuffed prunes wrapped with bacon.

LOL Sound's disgusting.

Urine Free in 003. too late for that slogan.

Let's be realistic: "Urine Free by '23!"

That might be doable.

don't forget that this is the year that the dems. are outfitted in tinfoil suits. Leave the conspiracy theories to them. As a former new yorker you must realize that it would be out of character for a restaurant full of people to uniformly cheer about anything and then have a round of drinks to celebrate. just doesn't happen.
