Oh I know...I've had them all I also do not recommend the black or even regular cherry. I like beer, so I'm an equal opportunity beer tester.

Bud Light definitely isn't the cheapest beer available; it would have been funny to see him sipping a Genny Cream Ale or Beast, though, haha.

natural light would have definitely made me feel good for voting for him.

The cop acted stupidly.--The 9-11 report was reasonable. Once it was clarified that Gates resided at the house there was NO reason for the issue to continue. No matter how mad, arrogant, or assholeish Gates was there wasnt a need to arrest him. Possible reasons for arrest: he's black, he's arrogant & has a tude. "Im not racist I gave a black dude CPR" does not mean that the officer wasnt being prejudice. After figuring out that the person is a resident and the showing of ID there should have been NO more questions. It should have been sorry for the bother sir, have a good day. But it wasnt. Officer asswipe continued to push and prod and then got more tude out of professor arrogant. Why? Either racism or classism. Either you're mad because he's black and shouldnt "overreact" to excessive questioning or you're mad because he's rich and feels above you and should not have to submit to excessive questioning. Between the two of these the inclination toward racism is fueled by the police report that states that the caller reported two black men when in the 9-11 call the caller could not identify the race of the men and said one might have been hispanic but that they definitely weren't sure. Also the caller stated that from where she was she couldnt tell if it was someone struggling with their key or a burglar. Was it racial profiling? No. Was the arrest racially motivated? partially. Was the officer wrong? Definitely. Officer should've given an apology. Gates had more tude than necessary, but he wasnt wrong and shouldnt have been arrested.
Obama spoke his mind and pissed people off. (some because he spoke and others because of what he said.) Calling the officers actions stupid wasnt wrong or out of line. It was true and it was his opinion.
Obama bought some beers to pay for it.

My only concern is...Is BudLight the cheapest beer available? It's a recession.

OJ was framed by a racist cop.

I'm going to hijack the thread and disagree with you here. I still don't think OJ killed those people, but I think he either knows who did it or he saw it when it happened.

Like I said, OJ was framed by a racist cop.

He wrote a book outlining how it happened, carefully worded to avoid being a post hoc confession - I mean . . .

Besides this, if he "knows who did it or he saw it when it happened" then he's also, under CA law, a murderer, given his actions afterward.

I didnt want to believe he did it either, but then I read the book. The title was "If I did it this is how I would've done it" or something like that. He definitely killed them both. He claims to have done it in a fit of rage, but still He DEFINITELY did it.

Now if he hadn't done it and only knew who did it (while I comprehend that under the law he's considered a murderer) he wouldnt be considered a murderer to me.

Really? There are people who honestly believe he didn't do it?

Wow. Just wow.

He was framed. If he did it then why was the bloody glove in the back of the house and the Bronco and a blood trail was also in front of the house? Mark Furman obviously planted the evidence.

Yes there are.

It boggles my mind that there are well-educated and intelligent people out there who still think OJ is innocent.

Since the OJ case seems to have entered this thread I'll throw in a thought or three. To me, it doesn't really matter whether he did it or not. The prosecution failed to make their case, the evidence was grossly mishandled, there were too many irregularities, etc, etc. Remember the bit about reasonable doubt? Seems like there was a fair amount of that.
Now as to my personal opinion, I have serious doubts that he did in fact do it. However, and again just my personal opinion, I have a gut feeling that he is sheilding someone and was willing to bite the bullet for that person. That would arguably hit him with accessory after the fact and/or obstruction, etc.
But, sometimes doing the technically wrong thing can be the actually right thing.

He would be partially accountable under the law.
