Al Capone's vault, mostly.

Litany Unheard posted:Eh, your average American doesn't even know there IS an Undersecretary assigned to international trade. And so long as she's signaling "TPP BAD" it doesn't matter what she says, since no one actually knows what the TPP is anyways. I've had more than one person tell me that the TPP is bad because we shouldn't have free trade with China. TPP is 70% good, 30% bad.

Ron Jeremy posted:Forget even spicy food, my midwestern relatives won't touch fish other than tuna in a can. What kind of midwesterner won't eat fish? Fishing is huge in the Midwest.

Gyges posted:Until quite recently, unless you went and caught a fish yourself, eating fish from the store in the Midwest was a good way to eat some old rear end fish. Until air delivery and quality refrigeration, you were eating fish caught days earlier on one of the coasts and then shipped in a, more or less, literal ice box by train. Canned tuna was the exception because canning it kept it "fresh". I forgot that folks lump the Great Plains into the Midwest. Kansas, Oklahoma, etc. are in a totally different (and much worse) universe for food and culture than the eastern Midwest. Even if the eastern Midwest is also a relative cultural and culinary desert compared to anywhere good! Eating fish is cool and good in the eastern Midwest, but there's definitely a suspicion of spicy food.

Epic High Five posted:Indiana is pretty good about a diverse food culture that doesn't skimp on the spicy, moreso the college town I'm in now than when I was living in Indy, but Indy ain't bad Unfortunately you've gotten the wrong impression from Indy and college towns, drive for thirty miles and try to convince the first person you see to eat something spicy and you might talk them up to chili with spaghetti in it

Gyges posted:Hurricane Sandy happened after the VP pick. When the only public hit against Christie, as far as the Republicans were concerned, was he's fatter than Taft. Christie's life since  passed him up has been a slow unfolding of every reason why he was passed up. It's a little surprising considering the general incompetence of Romney's campaign that they successfully detected Christie's status as a jenga tower.
