Today's "Gates/Crowley" photo op promises to be most over analyzed, over hyped photo op ever
The pregame speculation on what beer they will drink has gone overboard. On THE VIEW I heard some Congressmen are upset that its not all domestic beers, some think it should be Sam Adams. You and I know that every word spoke by anyone of the men, every second of body language and the seating arrangement will be broken down for meaning. This has just gotten so out of hand.

5. The woman who called 911 actually had a press conference
today, with a lawyer present. The woman was close to tears, and after she explained, chokingly, that she was raised to like everybody and wasn't a racist, her LAWYER took the podium to point out that the woman was not invited to the beer party! :rofl: She would be AT WORK! (So there is now a hint of sexism thrown into the drama!)

She then snobbily announced that that was OK, since the woman didn't like beer anyway.

6. Considering the guests, I proposed Growlers from CBC
Cambridge Brewing Company sells 64Oz beer jugs called "growlers"

Fitting, I think.

15. Pay attention to who is buying the commercials
Talk about a great opportunity. The beer companies should have had some commercials ready if they were really on their toes.

22. Yeah, but....
the still pictures being shown on the cables lately look really good. Obama and Joe sitting with Gates and Crowley. They show a much better scenario than that CNN graphic of "Professor versus Police" all last Saturday. The get together may not have been that deep at all, but the media has shown it doesn't really care to dig for anything.
