I know that you have a Snatort with a lexicon of at least a dozen profane words he uses often in the Senate, and even at his wife in front of the press. Well, if you all think he is worth re-election, and could even consider him for the Presidency (can you imagine him at State visits to countries that would be so horribly offended by such speach, even in the Senate he has such a reputation for his profanity) ok, then I guess you all are not sophisticated enough for 5 diamond restaurants, and sure don't need any "stinking" distiction for those who can afford it.

Me, I was a teacher of the emotionally disturbed/mentally ill with an MA in Special Education, awarded the distinction by the National Council of Exceptional Children of Professionally Recognized Special Educator, until I was laid off due to the budget cuts in Education by our Republican Governor Charlie Christ so severe that in our county alone 3,200 teachers were laid off in two years. However little education esteemed education is in our state, our rich, retired residents who keep voting for Republicans that have little appreciation for education, we do not consider that we need to associate ourselves with illiterate, unsophiticated population. I am sure that there are many residents of your state who are ashamed of your statement, assuming that there aren't any of your population who are accustomed to luxury and sophistication and can afford it. Naturally, even when I was employed as a teacher, I could not afford it for myself, but I would not want my state to be considered so unsophiticated complete that it was good there were not 5 diamond restaurants for those who could afford and appreciate that luxury. And, coming from a state that survives of hospitality, where many of the jobs our population depend upon, those 5 diamond restaurants provide hefty tips for the wait and service people at these landmarks, and that's a good thing for our state's population.

So perhaps you need to rethink your thoughts about those "stinking 5 diamond" restaurants. You really speak poorly for your state, and you already have McCain to excuse for his behavior, you really don't need to add to that image of illiterate, unbehaved citizens who promote his behavior in the political arenas. Rethink your brief but sharp statements about your state's population, don't speak for all, even those who don't make much don't feel such anger against the successful that they would wish to delete what luxury they can afford, and what tips and economy they afford those who work at these establishments. ]]>Sep 9th 2009 8:33AMhttp://www.luxist.com/2009/09/05/five-diamond-restaurant-closes-down-in-arizona/http://www.luxist.com/2009/09/05/five-diamond-restaurant-closes-down-in-arizona/I thank my God in heaven for taking you out of the education system!

It's teachers, politicians and sheeple like you who have almost ruined our once great nation. I just hope and pray that God in HIS wisdom will continue to REMOVE people like you from postions of power and authority.]]>Sep 9th 2009 8:48AMhttp://www.luxist.com/2009/09/05/five-diamond-restaurant-closes-down-in-arizona/http://www.luxist.com/2009/09/05/five-diamond-restaurant-closes-down-in-arizona/
Before we had a child, my wife and I made a point of eating at an expensive restaurant while on a vacation, such as the Palisade in Seattle or the Rob Roy Room at the Banff Springs Hotel in Banff, Alberta. ]]>Sep 9th 2009 10:59AMhttp://www.luxist.com/2009/09/05/five-diamond-restaurant-closes-down-in-arizona/http://www.luxist.com/2009/09/05/five-diamond-restaurant-closes-down-in-arizona/Sep 9th 2009 7:29AMhttp://www.luxist.com/2009/09/05/five-diamond-restaurant-closes-down-in-arizona/http://www.luxist.com/2009/09/05/five-diamond-restaurant-closes-down-in-arizona/Sep 9th 2009 8:06AMhttp://www.luxist.com/2009/09/05/five-diamond-restaurant-closes-down-in-arizona/http://www.luxist.com/2009/09/05/five-diamond-restaurant-closes-down-in-arizona/Sep 9th 2009 8:59AMhttp://www.luxist.com/2009/09/05/five-diamond-restaurant-closes-down-in-arizona/http://www.luxist.com/2009/09/05/five-diamond-restaurant-closes-down-in-arizona/Sep 9th 2009 9:43AMhttp://www.luxist.com/2009/09/05/five-diamond-restaurant-closes-down-in-arizona/http://www.luxist.com/2009/09/05/five-diamond-restaurant-closes-down-in-arizona/Sep 9th 2009 12:58PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2009/09/05/five-diamond-restaurant-closes-down-in-arizona/http://www.luxist.com/2009/09/05/five-diamond-restaurant-closes-down-in-arizona/Sep 9th 2009 9:39AMhttp://www.luxist.com/2009/09/05/five-diamond-restaurant-closes-down-in-arizona/http://www.luxist.com/2009/09/05/five-diamond-restaurant-closes-down-in-arizona/Sep 9th 2009 9:40AMhttp://www.luxist.com/2009/09/05/five-diamond-restaurant-closes-down-in-arizona/http://www.luxist.com/2009/09/05/five-diamond-restaurant-closes-down-in-arizona/Sep 9th 2009 9:41AMhttp://www.luxist.com/2009/09/05/five-diamond-restaurant-closes-down-in-arizona/http://www.luxist.com/2009/09/05/five-diamond-restaurant-closes-down-in-arizona/doesn't seem like a big deal. Another issue I have - if this menu current - on the website - then it is 'somewhat dated.' You have to be ahead of the trends to charge these prices, but again - you can't charge these prices everywhere, especially in today's economy. I'd rather grill my own steak - these days - or hit up the local DIVE steak joint, which serves AMAZING steaks for like 10-15 bux.]]>Sep 9th 2009 9:46AMhttp://www.luxist.com/2009/09/05/five-diamond-restaurant-closes-down-in-arizona/http://www.luxist.com/2009/09/05/five-diamond-restaurant-closes-down-in-arizona/Sep 9th 2009 10:15AMhttp://www.luxist.com/2009/09/05/five-diamond-restaurant-closes-down-in-arizona/http://www.luxist.com/2009/09/05/five-diamond-restaurant-closes-down-in-arizona/Sep 9th 2009 10:28AMhttp://www.luxist.com/2009/09/05/five-diamond-restaurant-closes-down-in-arizona/http://www.luxist.com/2009/09/05/five-diamond-restaurant-closes-down-in-arizona/I don't know why anyone who posts here who makes ugly, rude comments and insults feels it's important. Everyone has a right to their opinion, which is what a free country like ours is all about, so insulting others because of their opinions is ridiculous.
