Slog - Comments on Lunch Date: Personal Days http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/06/lunch_date_personal_days (A few times a week, I take a new book with me to lunch and give it a half an hour or so to grab my attention. Lunch Date is my judgment on that speed-dating experience.) Who's your date today? Personal Days, Ed Park's debut novel. Where'd you go? Peso's, on lower Queen Anne. What'd you eat? The crab and avocado melt on open-faced English muffins ($11.75.) How was the food? The reviewers on our review page are less than kind to Peso's, and I can understand why. It's kind of a young urban professionals meat-market. I've gone there...

They told him to wait outside In The Line!! It was pretty outrageous - I mean the guy still had food on the table. We couldn't get ANY of the staff to budge on this either, including the manager, even when we explained that we just needed him to come back inside so he could pay his tab. The whole thing sucked and I'm never going back.

But hey, at least you had decent food and service, Paul. And keep up the lunch date posts, they're always fun to read!

The problem is that the dead and maimed are still dead and maimed and the Iraqi people are still suffering and dying. Dan had his fun promoting the war and ridiculing the anti-war folks. It was all just the usual Stranger/Slog everything is fair for abuse and snark routine. Now everyone-let's move on.

But, but-why should assholes like Rush Limbaugh and Dick Cheny be treated with dis-respect and held accountable for supporting the war, and Dan Savage forgiven?

Answer: c-Dan Savage

"In the meantime, invading and rebuilding Iraq will not only free the Iraqi people, it will also make the Saudis aware of the consequences they face if they continue to oppress their own people while exporting terrorism and terrorists. The War on Iraq will make it clear to our friends and enemies in the Middle East (and elsewhere) that we mean business: Free your people, reform your societies, liberalize, and democratize... or we're going to come over there, remove you from power, free your people, and reform your societies for ourselves."

Dear Bad Night at Pesos commenter: all of the other people in your party should have went outside to make phone calls as well...either the dumbfucks would have let you all back in, or you would have had a free meal...

I hate the people who hang out there, and it's hardly ever worth it to try to go at night, but an early-afternoon brunch on the weekends? So good. It helps that the place is walking distance from my apartment, but even if it wasn't, I'd still eat there.
