You're presidential material!

Unfortunately, the black side of my family actually consists of African Americans.

That, plus the other flavorings they use-- coriander, orange peel, etc. (all of which are verboten in German brewing).

Oh right, forgot about that.  The weird spicy flavors in hefeweizen must come solely from the yeast.

Looks like Cambridge released the police tapes of this incident.

Yep.  I suspect some funky interactions between the wheat and yeast are at play as well.  I love that clove-like aftertaste that Franziskaner has. 

Great, now I want a beer & it's only 2:30pm

Tape: Cop called Gates uncooperative
Released dispatch recording shows sergeant wanted more backup

"Contrary to published reports that a 'white woman' called 911 (police) and reported seeing 'two black men' trying to gain entry into Mr. Gates home, the woman, who has olive colored skin and is of Portuguese descent, told the 911 operator that she observed 'two men' at the home," the  statement read.

OMG it was all started by a Porkncheese woman!  I like how they make the distinction between Portuguese & 'white' 

[The Minsky Moment]

Sgt. James Crowley said he was with a man who claims to live in the house and with identification showing he was Gates. Crowley said the man was not cooperating and told the dispatcher to "keep the cars coming."

I just literally fell out of my chair. Mainly because I was balancing it on one leg, but still.

I like how her race is somehow relevant to the story.

Well a person who is not white cannot be racist.

My mistake.

You never know, she could have been robed on the bich...

Sounds pretty non-cooperative.

Too odd how we feel such a need to make the distinctions. Hey, good thing that maybe she wasn't a completely white person! But then, since when is Portuguese another race?

They at least count as hispanic, but I agree, who cares. Why care about any of this actually?

So now I can blame the true troublemakers in the world, the eggplant race.
