Time to put my mouth where my money is:

A few food recommendations are:

Sushi Meshuga on East 17th St. between Kings Highway and Ave. P in Brooklyn (sushi). Very nice guy behind the counter (owner?), good product, and reasonably priced.

Ocean Fresh on Avenue M between East 17th and East 18th Streets in Brooklyn (fish/sushi). Good sushi at very good prices. Their daily special(s) are posted outside the store.

Off The Grill at 600 Central Avenue in Cedarhurst (meat). Excellent food and service at reasonable prices. Good place to go for anniversary, etc. Dinner for two with appetizers and desserts usually comes to about $100, a bit more including tip.

IMO, sushi is an acquired taste.

At a certain point, I realized that I had to be dreaming, since a departed relative and the person named after this relative were both present.

Poof! I immediately woke up.

The above actually occurred.

Liberals are stupid.

So are Democrats, who are unpatriotic.

Conservatives are stupid.

So are Republicans, who are heartless.

How do I know all this?

Because so many people have made the above statements.

Is it possible that there are plenty of very smart people who have differing points of view on a variety of topics?
