Best Chinese Restaurant Suggestions . . .

I don't write about Chinese restaurants very often because I'm not a big fan. I like Thai, I don't care too much for Vietnamese, and Chinese, well, most of the dishes taste the same to me. I may not have been to good restaurants or it may be that it is just a personal preference but when its my time to choose a restaurant, in Fort Worth, it's either Mexican or Sushi.

But many people like Chinese food and Fort Worth has some favorites. My daughter likes Szechuan. I am going to include a Chinese restaurant in the January 2008, Best of Fort Worth and I am taking all suggestions. I'll take the two most suggested, visit with my wife and daughter (who like Chinese), and make a decision.

Please if you like Chinese and have a favorite, let me know.

USA Today's fun "Who should I vote for President " quiz.

Mike Huckabee has come from the back of the pack to be a front runner in Iowa. Polls did predict him doing well in the Iowa caucus many weeks ago but the media has just caught on. Because of his ascendance and the descendance of others I have issued a new poll. See poll to the right.

And if you want to take a fun and graphically impressive quiz on who you most agree with on major issues, click this USA Today site.

My "suggested candidate" after taking the quiz was R. Guiliani (for whom I will not vote), then Mike Huckabee, followed by Mitt Romney.
