WHAT IT MEANS
The Southern Nevada Health District conducts random inspections of local restaurants. An establishment receives an A grade if it has received no more than 10 demerits. A B grade is given to those establishments that receive 11 to 20 demerits, and a C grade is given to any establishment that receives 21 to 40 demerits. If an establishment receives more than 40 demerits, it is closed immediately. The grades are posted at the time of the inspection. The establishment has the option of requesting a reinspection before its next scheduled inspection.

    Why do the Demorats and the socialist Review-Journal hate live mussels?

    Buyer beware. If you get sick from eating at a greasy spoon it is your own fault.

    All the Demorats want is more and more useless over-regulation.

    Same thing for the airline industry. If you get on a plane that crashes it's your own fault for not checking out the airline more thoroughly.

    'Nuff said.

What's next - stop signs in 25 different languages too? It's bad enough going to the ATM and being forced to select "English" before proceeding any farther. It's getting to be the time to revolt and take our country back. All this "political correctness" has gone way too far. Seems to me we became a superior country without all the nannystate laws that keep getting enacted and most of the politicians want us to believe otherwise. And it's not just in Nevada, I'm from Minnesota and deal with the same BS up here, some of my taxes went for Somali and about 6 other languages on all the signs at the light rail line that provides service to virtually nobody but those in the inner city. Now that I have vented, I'm going to light a smoke and have a drink, since that's not illegal to do in my house - yet.

    NEWSFLASH - This is the USA, not Mexico, Spain or any of the other countries where Spanish is spoken. What's next posting all signage in Farsi, Swahili and Tagalog too?
