    - I liked the Hulk wrap around variant -- nm - Stephen Jul 22, 19:04 1

- That's some tasty stuff. Love it. -- nm - TWuG Jul 22, 17:57
Obama: "Number 2: The Cambridge police acted stupidly." Ouch. -- nm - TWuG Jul 22, 17:56 38
- Regardless of them acting stupidly or not, that's not a subject for a national address. - Inigo Jul 22, 18:17 16
  - He didn't volunteer the opinion, he was asked his opinion. And the full answer was pretty good. -- nm - TWuG Jul 22, 18:29 9
    - The reporter shouldn't have asked, he shouldn't have answered. - Inigo Jul 22, 18:30 8
      - Agree on not asking. Disagree on not answering - ty97 Jul 22, 18:36 6
        
        See my answer below. I really doubt anyone would have faulted him for backing out of the question since it's about a friend. - Inigo Jul 22, 18:38 5
        
        Your IM nails it. The punditry would label him a weak, no-backbone liberal who won' take a stance. -- nm - ty97 Jul 22, 18:54 4
        
        What would be weak is if he starts holding back out of fear of what the pundits might say about him. - Dr.Vermin Jul 22, 19:16 1
        
        True. I hope politicans don't ever start acting like that. -- nm - ty97 Jul 22, 19:21
        
        I actually disagree, I think a lot might have actually applauded him for not involving himself - Stephen Jul 22, 19:06
        
        Rush is going to go after him any way. - Inigo Jul 22, 18:57
      - His full answer took it from the specific to the broader issue of race and profiling and how, even with strides being made, race is still an issue. - TWuG Jul 22, 18:35
  - "Uh, it was a terrible thing, and I was, uh, disappointed in the, umm, graininess and, uh, lack of action." -- nm - B.O. SI Jul 22, 18:25
  - Was it part of his prepared remark, or an answer to a reporter question? -- nm - ty97 Jul 22, 18:23 3
    - In response to a question -- (link) - Roger More Jul 22, 18:24 1
      - With him being Obama;s friend, he really shouldn't have answered. - Inigo Jul 22, 18:33
    - He was asked specifically about it by a reporter -- nm - Stewie Jul 22, 18:24
  - [deleted]
- DONNA!!! -- nm - Josh Lyman Jul 22, 17:59 16
  - Yeah, that'll be GOP fodder, but a LOT of people are going to agree with him. -- nm - TWuG Jul 22, 18:03 15
    - Unless i'm missing something I don't see how. - Stephen Jul 22, 18:07 14
      - that's assuming the story the police provided is exactly what happened. -- nm - mafic Jul 22, 18:25 10
        
        Well, I don't typically jump to the conclusion that the police are liars in every situation. -- nm - Stephen Jul 22, 18:41 9
        
        neither do I. at first I believed their account. initially the cops said they were trying to break into the house, he refused to provide ID, one - mafic Jul 22, 18:49
        
        Probably because there isn't a history of middle aged white guys being railroaded by the police. - TWuG Jul 22, 18:45 7
        
        So we should always believe that the cops are lying in every situation like this? -- nm - Stephen Jul 22, 18:48 6
        
        Of course not. But the story as reported seems to show an unhappy black guy getting hassled by cops and getting pissed about it. - TWuG Jul 22, 18:53 5
        
        Another story I'm reading indicates that he followed the police out of the house still yelling. - Stephen Jul 22, 19:03 4
        
        by witness accounts there were at least four police on his porch, and six or seven police cars in the street. that's not exactly deescalation. -- nm - mafic Jul 22, 19:06 3
        
        But when did they arrive? - Stephen Jul 22, 19:08 2
        
        seven cars is overkill for a middle-of-the-day, possible B&E. -- nm - mafic Jul 22, 19:26 1
        
        AND overkill for one guy being arrested for Disorderly Conduct. Since he didn't throw punches - TWuG Jul 22, 19:29
      - Gates was inside the home and provided ID with an address that PROVED he lived there BEFORE he was arrested. And the charges were dropped. - TWuG Jul 22, 18:13 1
        
        Well, first he didn't supply the ID and then he did. -- nm - the liioulu with glitter and cookies Jul 22, 18:14
      - His statement was about what happened after the ID was shown proving it was his residence -- nm - Stewie Jul 22, 18:12
- ugh -- nm - Stephen Jul 22, 17:59
- [deleted] 2
  - Well, Cheney said he didn't work for the Executive OR legislative branches, I'm not sure what Biden thinks. -- nm - TWuG Jul 22, 17:57 1
    - Is there a railroad branch? -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jul 22, 19:36
Ha! Obama called on one reporter and another just stood up and poached the question. -- nm - TWuG Jul 22, 17:52
People who see more films than me: here's the schedule for RIIFF. Any suggestions? -- (link) - TFox Jul 22, 17:52

- I think I have only eaten at one once in my life... -- nm - Beaker Jul 22, 17:35
- Close to my usual order there. ;) -- nm - the liioulu with glitter and cookies Jul 22, 17:34
- Over $8 at Taco Bell? That's my nubby. -- nm - TFox Jul 22, 17:27 23
  - [deleted] 7
    - But...but they have Baja Blast! -- nm - Tim Jul 22, 17:38
    - Yeah, but that's only like three tacos... what do you eat for the second half of your dinner? -- nm - TFox Jul 22, 17:35 5
      - [deleted] 4
        
        First of all, ordering a repeat taco is like a core rule fail. They have like sixty choices. No need to double up. - TFox Jul 22, 17:39 3
        
        I double up on the cheese roll ups. - the wrong element, bad guy Jul 22, 18:21
        
        Oh, how I love the nacho cheese chalupa. - kelly Jul 22, 18:11
        
        There's that 10 Things combo. -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Jul 22, 17:41
  - Just on my food alone I can spend $10 at Taco Hell, easily. -- nm - Stephen Jul 22, 17:31 9
    - They sneak it on you really by pricing everything so cheaply you pile it on! -- nm - Qale Jul 22, 17:34 8
      - Yup. A bean burrito is only .99, obviously i'm gonna need 5 of those to start! -- nm - Stephen Jul 22, 17:36 7
        
        Volcano Box FTW. -- nm - Qale Jul 22, 17:54
        
        Ew. - TFox Jul 22, 17:37 5
        
        I got slapped by a turkey once. -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Jul 22, 17:44 2
        
        Was it a *JIVE* turkey? -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jul 22, 19:32
        
        Who haven't you been slapped by? - the liioulu with glitter and cookies Jul 22, 17:52
        
        I love their bean burritos. - Stephen Jul 22, 17:43
        
        Love the bean burritos. - the liioulu with glitter and cookies Jul 22, 17:38
  - nu______________b_____________by -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Jul 22, 17:29
  - If I spend $8 at Taco Bell I got off cheap. -- nm - Tim Jul 22, 17:28 3
    - A few more of us, and we could place the first three-figure Bell order in history! -- nm - TFox Jul 22, 17:30 2
      - My friends and I once did a $200 Taco Bell run - Mr. Havens Jul 22, 17:51 1
        
        You are temporarily my hero. -- nm - TFox Jul 22, 17:54
With all the movie lists today, we missed this one. (I can't believe they missed Nicolas Cage) -- (link) - Dano Jul 22, 17:21 1
- *screams* Hercules!! Beat him up!! *screams* - Screaming Woman in Carriage si Jul 22, 17:46
I'm just going to have to write out many many questions and delete them later to pull the total down. Too much goodness! -- nm - Qale Jul 22, 17:18
