Today was Election Day for some state and local officers. In another posting, Nov. 6, 2012, I explained why I did not vote. But it interests me that 95% plus of the time the person with the most money wins. When voting matters I will resume voting but seeing the children suffer, no matter who wins, liberal or conservative, male or female, Democrat or Republican is unbearable. Last week I reported how a bill in Congress was passed that gave more military spending to Department of Defense and a free ride for genetically modified seed companies that was voted on by both sides, liberal and conservative. When our vote matters I will vote.

Of equal or more interest to me are the ratings of local Fish Fries that Pat, Joe and I are doing. It started when a mutual friend of ours, who grew up in Milwaukee, returned for a visit and wanted to know what the best fish fries are today. Someone has to do the ‘hard work’ of reviewing fish fries so we three took on this task. We only have review eleven fish fries of the 300 or more in the area but we are working on it. (You can find results so far below)

Now if you think I am showing more enthusiasm about rating Fish Fries than voting you got it right. Unlike voting, when we go to a new Fish Fry I am unaware of how it will be and if it will be a winner. Fish Fries, unlike voting, does not always follow money. Nowadays Fish Fries are about $10, more or less. More expense does not mean more quality. In voting you can decide by who has the most money, most of the time, the winner.

Fish Fries give you a good meal. Voting just means the same old, same old politics. When people like a Fish Fry and spread the word the Fish Fry becomes more popular. When an elected official does not live up to election promises it does not seem to matter much in the next election.

Fish fries are held accountable if they give you bad food. Politicians can say one thing and do another thing and the followers, as shown above, do not matter. Labels, conservative or liberal, Democrat or Republicans matter a lot to voters. In fish fries, the quality of food and service is all that matters.
Now for those out of the Milwaukee area let me explain that Fish Friends, especially on Friday, are a big thing in dinning. When the Catholic Church eliminated its prohibition of meat on Friday it did not matter in Milwaukee. Chinese, Middle Eastern, bars, taverns, fine dining restaurants, family dinners, Catholic Churches all have Fish Fries on Friday. Politicians come and go but Fish Fries last. Fish Fries do not make promises they break as politicians do.

I rather go to a Fish Fry than Vote.
