    Forgive my ignorance, but why would Cali matter?

Not overdone. I would certianly rather have the second, but if too many people in November vote for the Bernie burger, not only will we not get Bernie burgers, but we won't get the Big Mac either. Instead the whole country will be stuck with a nasty steaming pack of White Castle sliders. Greasy and vile and sending us all running for the bathroom with a big case of the sh**s.
    Americans could stand to skip a meal. We are a big and gluttonous folk.

    Clearly you have no concept of fine cuisine. White Castle is one of this county's great institutions. Anyone who would deliberately choose a Big Mac over a WC slider five-pack is more to be pitied than despised.

    I think it will be that close that the delegate count will be below 1237 for Mr. T. When the Circus comes to Lotusland.

    White Castle is big here in ColumbOhio.

    An acquaintance of mine is a long time vegetarian -- he jogs, plays soccer, eats at Whole Foods salad/hot bar daily.

    And he says the only thing -- the only thing! -- he misses from his meat-eating days is White Castle sliders! hahaha

    Personally I happen to think it's awesome that the california primary might actually matter this year!

    Is he still allowed to eat their top-flight onion rings?

    No amount of kale will buy you immortality. If sliders shave a year or two off my life, it will be a small enough price to pay.

    FOr me White Castle is just a bus stop in Jersey City. I used to ride a private bus company bus (Community Lines) to work every morning. The buses were beat up old airport shuttle buses that didn't even have a stop rope to signal one's stop. Instead people just called out "Next Stop!" or "La Parada!". But the last stop before the terminal was always called out by name, "White Castle!"

    Edited to add: And in fact, google street view shows one of the Community Lines buses headed up the street across from the White Castle stop. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Wh...948604!6m1!1e1

    I have always found New Jersey to be a civilized place. Except maybe parts of Newark.
