Not saying all pizza in this part of the area is as good as the NE variety. Most is not but if you look hard enough you can find some real authentic pizza that is top notch and right up there with the NY/NJ pie.Bartender Cabbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05623813045706584212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661288566810922442.post-88215240390465471012011-02-24T02:22:53.987-06:002011-02-24T02:22:53.987-06:00Oh, and regarding the pizza... You are correct.
...Oh, and regarding the pizza... You are correct. <br /><br />I don't believe you. <br /><br />There's just something about the water here in NY that helps make the best dang pizza (& bagels) in the US... I'm not going to say TX pizza is bad (especially since I've never had it), but every bit as good? I just find that awful hard to believe...<br /><br />I'm out on Long Island, and even that far away (not far, for those unaware), the pizza isn't quite as good as in NYC. Still awful good, but not that thin crust, well-seasoned NYC pizza... There really is nothing like it, in my humble... <br /><br />Obviously, you are welcome to disagree, but... ...well... There's no other way to say it; You're just wrong. 8>)repsac3https://www.blogger.com/profile/15458282944035344707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661288566810922442.post-81326244073439881882011-02-24T02:08:37.668-06:002011-02-24T02:08:37.668-06:00Regarding the "fruit loops:" You know wh...Regarding the "fruit loops:" You know who also said that, right?<br /><a href="http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2011/02/17/rep_paul_ryan_on_wisconsin_protests_like_cairo_moved_to_madison.html" rel="nofollow">Rep. Paul Ryan On Wisconsin Protests: "Like Cairo Moved To Madison"</a> That was from 2/17. Fox's Judge Napolitano said it, as well. (Forgive me for being too lazy to dig up a video.) <br /><br />I trust you find them as ridiculous as you do the Wisconsinites who drew that particular analogy.<br /><br />While I get where you're coming from, I fear you're misunderstanding the concept of analogies. The whole idea is to compare two things that are <b>not exactly the same</b>, and to draw conclusions based on the few similarities they do have. The fact is, people far more often compare apples to oranges than they do apples to apples, because in the latter case, there is no real comparison to be made. An apple isn't <i>like</i> an apple; an apple <b>is</b> an apple.)<br /><br />So, while it's true that no one is taking shots at them from the air (so far, anyway... I understand <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/JCCentCom/status/39211723726651392" rel="nofollow">a government official (former, after such talk) has suggested using live ammo to deal with the WI protesters</a>), there are ways in which the protests in Madison are like the protests in Cairo. I don't think it's all that ridiculous to talk about those similarities, as long as one isn't suggesting that the two protests are exactly the same, or that the folks in WI are under the same kind of threats (or as brave, or that the situation is as dire) as the folks in Cairo were under.<br /><br />Nice place you have here, BC...

Wisconsonites are carrying signs to preserve a suburban home and two cars in the garage, while those in the Middle East are facing death by gunfire in an effort for their families not to starve to death.Jayhawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00756807802218022043noreply@blogger.com
