CEO Gene Meyer honored for leading Lawrence Memorial Hospital to success

Alceste, you do realize that just because you end your opinion with "period," that does not necessarily mean that there is no room for other viewpoints, right? Or even that you are right? I do not think it advances conversation to use rhetorical devices like this to try to prevent people with differing points of view from sharing their opinions.

House rejects Senate-approved tax package; Legislature adjourns; new plan teed up

In other words, I think that Bruce was blaming the voters for turning over so many House seats. But I don't think the Senate has been much better off.

Senate Republicans approve sales tax increase, cuts in income tax rates, lower food sales tax

Misattributed. Einstein almost certainly didn't say this. http://www.news.hypercrit.net/2012/11...

It may very well fit in this scenario, though....

I've never gone to Hungary, either. I have a friend who lived in Budapest for a few years, though.

Plans filed for restaurant/retail on South Iowa site once proposed for Olive Garden

Yes, seriously. I understand that we are luckier than some of our neighbor cities to have more mom-and-pop restaurants than they do. I only offered my own preference. there isn't much difference between my saying "I prefer small tasty restaurants" and madcow saying "I prefer Red Lobster." Except, of course, that I went on to explain what I think is better about my choice.

If it is Red Lobster, madcow will be happy but will not meet me while there. If madcow wants to meet me for lunch, perhaps we can go to a restaurant we will both enjoy.

I don't think I'd ever heard of low sales tax before as one of the causes of obesity. I wonder if Sen. Melcher has published these findings?

paul85, I don't think the cynic was saying OG is overpriced for the QUANTITY of food you get. Look at his entire post: I believe he is saying it is overpriced because he believes the food to be "mediocre." In other words, the price is too high for the QUALITY of food you get. (I tend to agree with him.) Just because the salad and breadsticks are unlimited does not mean they are not mediocre...and unlimited mediocre food can still be overpriced.

Myself, I find Paisano's better than Olive Garden.

Plans filed for restaurant/retail on South Iowa site once proposed for Olive Garden

Rather than Olive Garden, Cracker Barrel, Red Lobster, or Crab Shack, I would prefer a locally owned-and-operated restaurant with well-prepared, flavorful food. Myself, I find most chain restaurants to be unfortunately bland and I rarely patronize them. I would not patronize this one, if it is one of these.
