<description> It began with a simple query on West Seattle Blog: Anyone see the Republican propoganda bus sponsored by Salty&apos;s owner? It quotes Hitler as a positive thinker. The bus has been spotted all over West Seattle, and eventually WSB Key Master lowmanbeach provided photos, including the one above and this one highlighting the positive-thinking Hitler quote. lowmanbeach also provides some eyewitness details: The door of the truck says &quot;The Kingen Family&quot; followed by Wolfi&apos;s and Patriots. Salty&apos;s owner&apos;s name is Gerry Kingen. ..and some valuable history: [Kingen] apparently does have a track record of [controversial] political involvement. This story...</description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Why is this a Republican propaganda bus? Because it is all red, white, and blue -- are those Republican colors now? The Hitler quote in question ("who owns the youth owns the future") is rather a Democratic leitmotiv right now, no?</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p><br />
Sounds like that line from "Rage Against the Machine"?</p>

<p><a href="http://everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=941545" rel="nofollow">http://everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=941545</a></p>

<p>So, I guess they like Hitler, too.</p>

<p>But, now your blog has been arrested for failing to observe Godwin's Law.<br />

<description><![CDATA[<p>I take that Hitler quote appearing on this bus as a warning against having a government-run school system - that such a thing appealed to Herr Hitler.</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>it boggles the mind that someone would seriously put a hitler quote over an american flag backdrop. especially a quote that's so fucking trite. didn't enough american soldiers die trying to kill the asshole, now your going to frame some banal truism of his in the us flag?</p>

<p>please elaborate on why this is a republican bus, i'm not sure i get it.</p>]]></description>

<title>Comment by Scalpel</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>@8: I disagree. I'm not a fan of long chunks of text on moving vehicles. It seems like an invitation to stop watching the road in order to read.</p>

<p>If they really wanted to summarize their message without all the wordy text, they should have painted the side of a panel van with a mural of a bald eagle holding a gun in one claw, and lighting a fire made of books with the other. On top of the fire would be Barack Obama dressed as an Arab, Hillary Clinton in a stained blue dress, and their mixed-race love child dressed as a Mexican (complete with sombrero). All three are wearing Che t-shirts and reading copies of The Advocate, whose cover story is "Abortions Are Fun!" The whole tableau would be backed by an American flag, two rearing monster trucks (driven by white Jesus and Ronald Reagan), and a picture of Tobey Keith wearing a 9/11 "Never Forget" T-shirt.</p>]]></description>

I couldn't give less of a shit about Salty's, but the news about Red Robin is breaking my (mental) heart.  My real heart is probably breathing a sigh of relief, as is my digestive tract.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>@30: Allow me to revise my request...</p>

<p>Are there any other burger places open until 11:00 PM on weeknights, that have a seating area? Or for that matter, are there any sit-down places to eat that are not expensive, or a bar, or the front seat of my car? I mean, we've got Beth's, but the same place over and over gets a little old.</p>

<p>And don't even think of suggesting The Hurricane. Their food turned to shit years ago.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>#23 Please post a link to the story that says this is true and I will never go back to Red Robin.  Otherwise I will continue to go there unless there is a better alternative.</p>

<p>#30  Comparing Burgermaster to Red Robin is like comparing diamonds to charcoal briquettes.  They might be made from the same ingredients, but I'd rather have the diamond.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Burgermaster's mediocre food, high-ish prices, and 70's steakhouse aesthetic were enough to keep me away in spite of my longing that style of drive-in burger joint.</p>

<p>I'd sooner eat at an old A&W.&#160; At least they're cheap!</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>#31, For 24 hr. sit-down, there's also 13 Coins and Denny's in the SODO area (4th Ave S).  Red Robin WAS a nice funky hangout until Kingen bought it and moved in the red leatherette banquettes and elevator music.  The Beach Broiler WAS a great union shop until Kingen bought it and let the help go.....and staffed his new eatery with minimum wage nonunion staff, and re-named it Salty's.  Kingen has been an active campaigner for Geo W. Bush for the last two campaigns - I remember him unfurling an oversized Bush banner on Fauntleroy Way eight years ago, positioning himself in front of the early-morning Kerry campaigners, effectively blocking them from view of the passing motorists.  I will not go in that restaurant.  Good that he's finally shown himself to the world with that lunatic van.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>@31 - Check out Greenlake Bar & Grill... the Grill side has table seating for all ages and I think they serve their full menu until 11:30pm (1:00am on Fri/Sat.)  They have very decent burgers. </p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Kingen is CEO of the Robin, and after buying it back took it public this decade(selling shares) From 1996:</p>

<p>IRVINE, Calif. - Gerald Kingen, founder of the Red Robin Burger Spirits Emporium concept, and Michael Snyder, a Denver businessman and veteran Red Robin franchisee, have acquired a "substantial equity position" in the 136-unit chain and taken over top management posts at Irvine-based Red Robin International Inc.</p>

<p>Kingen, who sold Red Robin to Tokyo-based Skylark Co. Ltd. in 1985, has been named chairman and chief executive, posts formerly held by senior Skylark officials. He remains chairman of Happy Guests International, owner of the Seattle-based Salty's seafood dinner-house chain.<br />

<description><![CDATA[<p>Schmader, it's unfair to unleash this information on us without providing an alternative to Red Robin where Dad can enjoy a burger and a couple of beers with the kids. </p>

<p>Is Smith kid friendly?</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Salty's is not a great restaurant but it does have a great view. I have always taken out-of-towners there to dine so they could see the city at its best. I will have to find a new upscale restaurant with outside seating in West Seattle on the waterfront. does anyone have any suggestions?</p>]]></description>
