The old mans post about the Japanese giant hornet is no good, either.

I am so glad I don't live by that place...because I would weigh 400 pounds.

Amen!

If I were to open a breakfast cafe, with all my skill as an egg, bacon, potato, cheese & batter cook, and I had all the world to name my dishes after, I kinda think I'd have to have a bit of a reason to name an innocuous breakfast food after a traitor.

Really...Eggs Benedict Arnold. Come on...it is so easy!

That place attracted almost every demographic of Omaha. Tattered clothes to Sunday best. Saw Houston Alexander in there one time, too.

I'm guessing Houston put down a couple plates, too. That is a big, mean individual.
For my money, 11-Worth and Lisa's Radial Cafes were the best breakfast places. The latter if you wanted pancakes in particular.

The couple times I went there it was probably the most diverse crowd, in every sense of the word, that I have ever seen. Young goth girl, old dudes, me (picture Brad Pitt meets Steve Buscemi), young girls, young guys, every race...

The weird thing (maybe) is, I associate the name Robert E Lee with the steamboat (the Monarch of the Mississippi) and therefore with large things. Civil war, traitor, confederacy, racism, slavery.....my mind does not associate any of those things with that name. I’m not saying that’s normal or nobody should be reminded of those things but it really doesn’t mean anything to me.

I am so hungry right now (on a diet) That I would love an Bobby Lee, Bobby Ewing, Stonewall Jackson and Abe Lincoln.

Lisa’s Radial is great too. I am big Shirley’s Diner fan though. Prior to moving into the Pizza Hut, their prices could not be beat, but it’s still my go-to.

Wow it's interesting to see the massive gaps in American education on display online.
teachercd
Even more interesting to see what was filled in.
JJ Husker
The arrogance, bad assumptions and unfounded superiority found on the internet is also interesting. WOW!
That statement might make a little sense if I did not know those things, but I do. I learned them. I’m educated. I simply was saying what my mind associates that name with. But do continue doing what you do. We wouldn’t know how to act if you weren’t all confused and flabbergasted about anything that didn’t fit your agenda.

@Savage Husker It was about slavery...
As far as Lee goes. It's honorable to defend one's homeland. It's not honorable to defend one's homeland while fighting for the enslavement of people and the superiority of the white man over those people.

@teachercd so...Brad Pitt meets Steve Buscemi eh. I'm guessing the Brad Pitt piece of you is you're also a male and Steve Buscemi is the physical part without the acting chops right?
Since this has turned into a breakfast place discussion. I'm more Lisa's versus 11-Worth although Lisa's coffee is consistently maybe the worst coffee I've ever tasted. I'm amazed at how badly they screw it up every time. Both of those places took a back seat to Amato's though. I also like Le Peep quite a bit but it seems like everything is a few bucks more so it's hard to justify it unless I've got a gift card. Honest to goodness another solid breakfast spot is the HyVee Market Grilles, especially when they have 1/2 priced omlettes or skillets. You get a mountain of food for $6, it's a crazy good deal. Farmhouse is also pretty solid.

Le Peep is crazy expensive (If anything, THAT is the most offensive thing)

@ZRod No one is denying it’s not about slavery, but I don’t suggest omitting timelines to make this war about nobility of the north in regard to slavery, when the first and foremost cause of the war was to preserve the Union.

For as much bashing on the confederate states, the Union could have as easily freed the slaves prior to any secession or battle, instead they waited and used them as a political ally to win the war through recruitment with the promise of being freed. Does that not raise concern to you that their freedom was contingent on winning the war?
@whateveritis1224 I have read that quote mentioned at the end of the article and I understand why people feel the way they do about Lee, then again, that sentiment was held by the majority of people at the time, even Lincoln didn’t think black people deserved the same rights as whites, ie. voting, serving as jurors, etc. So when do we cancel Lincoln?
