At the moment, reason has prevailed. After "20/20" and other camera crews showed up to film the waitresses and try to talk to the state nursing board, Arizona officials decided not to take any action against the Heart Attack Grill.
That's good news for the "nurses," and their customers. But the busybodies seldom rest for long. How long will it be before some other government officials threaten to shut down the Heart Attack Grill because of its name? Or because it sells fatty food?
Next week: How some busybodies stopped churches from serving food to the poor.

It looks like all the important stuff has been taken care of in Arizona and now they are working on the B.S.

Well, what do you expect from a democrat Attorney General? Illegals as far as the eye can see, but he can see no problem with that, but just let anyone have a good time and the world comes crashing in on them.
I'll be glad to see the end to Nappy and her pet frog AG Terry Goddard.

The uncontested absurdities of today are the accepted slogans of tomorrow. They come to be accepted by degrees, by precedent, by implication, by erosion, by default, by dint of constant pressure on one side and constant retreat on the other - until the day when they are suddenly declared to be the country's official ideology. ~ Ayn Rand

Yes, ol Ayn lived in constant fear of esperanto.

No, but I bet you could get a Janet Reno Shake.

I am also a Public Health Nurse. I think this is funny. The busybody AG should maybe read that you cannot use the title "Nurse" if you don't have a license to practice but you are delivering nursing care. These "nurses" are not giving nursing care. Sounds like the AG is bored.

Do not upset the nurses union, you will be sorry.
They could call them "caregivers" or "ass-istants", Does any group own the rights to "candy stripers"....lots of options out there.
I like the theme though, the next time I go to Az. I must find this place and get a big greasy burger and fries.

I can bet how long the restaurant would stay open if it made the following changes:
- Change name to Nanny State & Busy Body Grill.
- Switch to 4 oz. tofu burgers server on whole grain buns. No mayo, no ketchup.
- Serve all burgers well-done only.
- Limit one burger per customer in any 30 day period. Valid drivers license required for purchase.
- Attire all waitrons in traditional 'Mao' suits.
- Replace fries with boiled brussel sprouts. No butter.

Given that I'd have to speak SPANISH to understand half of what is said at assemblies at my daughter's school, I'm thinkiny esperanto might not have been a bad thing, we skipped it and went straight to h*ll.
My daughter's dream now is to make enough money to move to Canada to get away from all the hispanic illegals, who harass the natives every day and get away with it, apparently because the school is afraid of looking like they are attacking the poor minorities (who are actually a majority of the school).
To: PBRSTREETGANG
cant decide which looks better, the burger or the waitress. hmmmm have to go with the burger. It will take years to kill me but the wife would kill me quickly if I chose the waitress.

'Constant Retreat'
That would be the GOP leadership in a nutshell.
FYI - The GOP Public Relations Department has gone AWOL since the Kennedy era.
