France stays the GOAT in culinary terms. Other stuff is also very good, but respect the King.

I've been halfway considering moving back to my hometown just because it's cheaper, want to be closer to aging folks- but the biggest things holding me back are that moving to a very white, smallish down means an appalling lack of culinary diversity (and just diversity and general, and moving out of my wonderful Seattle liberal bubble). After living here for 20 years, it's so easy to take the fact that I've got all this wonderful food from all over within 5 minutes of my office.

I don't think that Trumpkins have any reason to be disappointed with last night's debate. Trump was terrible, of course, especially in the last hour, but I think he performed in the upper end of his range. Anyone who expected better from Trump, or worse from HRC, simply hasn't been paying attention.

If Trump can legally pay little tax w/e, but he still wants to lower taxes on billionaires.

Buffett paid a lower rate than his secretary, but at least he was willing to admit that was screwed up.

And Buffett is really giving money to charity, not phony charities that bribe government officials. (Oh yeah, that wasn't even Trump's money. )

It's like arguing jazz vs. late 60s/early 70s R&B. I respect jazz more, but I want to listen to R&B more often.

When I grew up in Kansas City, you had BBQ of course. But your international options were limited to a handful of places. Now the choices are much better.

Politico rates Gore's sighing and eye-rolling as the 7th biggest gaffe in debate history:

Quote:

During the first debate, Gore’s overdramatic attempts to emphasize how exasperated he was with Bush backfired big time. At several points, microphones caught Gore loudly sighing in response to Bush’s answers, which played into Republican arguments that he was arrogant and condescending. And as Bush criticized the Democrat’s plans for their “fuzzy math,” Gore was seen on the split screen rolling his eyes and shaking his head in frustration.

Trump's angry tone and constant interruptions were objectively much worse. "Liberal" media shrugs. If Gore had interrupted Bush 30 odd times, there would be headlines about how out of control he was.

I wonder if he just missed the opportunity, or if he decided he couldn't bring it up again since she'd already addressed it with an answer (an apology) he didn't know how to handle.

that stupid LA times poll is such a piece of water trash

some crazy **** going on this universe, but i have no fkn idea how they can stand behind something that has him getting 13-15% of the black vote and 30-33% of latinos. that's just such a ridiculous outlier, and they poll the same 3000 people and publish the results every day. that thing is a debacle

Yeah but it worked to paint HRC in a somewhat sympathetic light, no matter what the media said about it. Trump looked like a bully and a moron, which is about everything you could ask for.

Yeah 100 million people saw the debate last night. Only a tiny fraction of those actually even touch political coverage on a regular basis. It doesn't really matter how the media handles this, to some extent.

Did you have V's restaurant in St. Louis? "It's a great little place to fall in love." Followed by a kid saying "Oh boy sghetti!"

Burned into my brain until the day I die. I may not remember my name or how to go to the bathroom, but I will still say "Oh boy sghetti!" every time I see spaghetti.

Mad? ok. Disappointed? No way. Will I be disappointed if I am not selected as the next James Bond? Of course not. Because I am self aware enough to realize that it is so wildly unlikely that it might as well be impossible.

Doesn't matter. He should bring it up again as it was completely relevant to the topic. "I appreciated Secretary Clinton has apologized for her lack of sound judgment. But can we really trust someone to police cyber security who took such grave risks with classified information?"

It writes itself.

Then she counters. "Don't worry, Donald, I'll put your 10-year-old son in charge of the cyber." But, yeah, it does write itself. It was late in the debate and by that time maybe he was too far gone. It seems her personal taxes/income jabs ended him.
