Sorry Mr. Hamilton had a bad experience at Jamils. I'm a native Tulsan who has lived in Washington, DC for over twenty years, and dined on steak at Charlie Palmers, the Palm, the National Press club. None have tasted better than the beef I enjoy and have enjoyed for years at Jamil's. My family and I just ate there around a month ago. The relish tray, ribs, bologna, cabbage rolls - served in the Lebanese mezze tradition, along with the hospitality of our waitress, who was quite pretty I might add, made it a very enjoyable experience. I recommend Jamil's - can't wait to eat there next time I am in Tulsa.

I believe Mr. McGuigan was an Oklahoma government employee when he was Deputy Secretary of Labor under Brenda Reneau.

Matthew 18:23-35 (New International Version)
"Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand talents[a] was brought to him. Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold to repay the debt.
"The servant fell on his knees before him. 'Be patient with me,' he begged, 'and I will pay back everything.' The servant's master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go.
"But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii.[b] He grabbed him and began to choke him. 'Pay back what you owe me!' he demanded.
"His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, 'Be patient with me, and I will pay you back.'
"But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt. When the other servants saw what had happened, they were greatly distressed and went and told their master everything that had happened.
"Then the master called the servant in. 'You wicked servant,' he said, 'I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. Shouldn't you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?' In anger his master turned him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed.
"This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart."
Footnotes:
a. Matthew 18:24 That is, millions of dollars
b. Matthew 18:28 That is, a few dollars
The big banks, Chase, Bank of America , were like the first man in the parable above – they were bailed out –Chase 50 billion; Bank of America 45 billion TARP money received.
Yet, did these big banks forgive debt or lower their interest rates of holders of their credit cards. No.
