If you don’t want to
If you don’t want to debate me, then I guess you won’t be getting any of these tasty donuts!

Obama waffles, not Obama donuts!
WIN! Both work, but waffles would be more appropriate.
Only if you find racism funny. Or did you miss that whole story?
MMMmmmmmm, doughnuts.
Aw geez, Barack… you could’ve at least shelled out for Krispy Kremes. Bring the good stuff if you’re going to bring anything!
I disagree. Dunkin is better than Krispy Kreme.
BLASPHEMER!
I call your lineage into question and pronounce anathema upon you. May dogs drag your wretched remains through the streets.
and then in bed.
I agree. Krispy Kreme always leaves the taste of Dhoom in my mouth. And Dunkins has Boston Creme donuts.
Have you ever tried Winchell’s? I don’t know if you have them where you’re at, but they are pretty good too. I only got Krispy Kreme when I lived in Boise, ID and it was the only donut shop near my house.
Boston kremes from Dunkins are the BEST! I’m horribly sad that in the SF bay area, there are no Dunkin Donuts. However, health-wise, this is probably better for me.
The coffee is definitely better and I love the varieties but there is something to be said for a hot off the rack Krispy Kreme.
My buddies and I used to make a 2AM stop at the Krispy Kreme and get super fresh donuts – if you ask nice they will skip the glaze.
Tim Horton’s is better than both dunkin’ and krispy. i don’t get how people can eat / drink things like krispy kreme doughnuts or yoohoo or deep fried cheeseburgers and call it food, or even like it. but that’s my opinion
Mmmm…deep fried candy bars…
mmm heart attack waiting to happen. Or maybe diabetes.
You will find the two are not mutually exclusive!
It’s more like a race really.
Tim Horton’s, Yes! Strongest coffee in Canada. I can’t get enough of the stuff, and I’m glad they finally started to sell it in a can to make at home.
Unfortunately, I live in a very tiny town, and the closest Tim’s is in Saskatchewan, an hour’s drive away. And neither grocery store sells Tim’s in a can.
As for the quality of the doughnuts, I’ve found it depends on the baker. I’ve had excellent ones, but at some places they seem a lot more fatty than others.
Dunkin Donuts are WAY better than Krispy Kreme. Too Bad Lou Holtz owned all the ones in my area and no one has bothered opening since he left ND.
Do you live in the Notre Dame area? There’s a Dunkin Donuts in Goshen, but that’s about 45 min. away.
Now here is a fight I can sink my teeth into! I think fresh Dunkin Donuts are great, but unfortunately, I never seem to be able to find them fresh. Krispy Kremes are simply awesome, as they never seem to get stale. Dunkin Donuts has more varieties, including way more stuffed donuts, which I love. DD also has far better coffee. In fact, the first really good cup of coffee I ever had was from a Dunkin Donuts. So, for sheer fatty, tasty donut goodness, Krispy Kreme wins. But if you want a variety, or you know when and where to find them fresh, or for the coffee, Dunkin Donuts wins. And then there’s Winchells. Fine donuts and coffee, but there don’t seem to be too many of them.

But I’ll take a Cinnabon over a donut any day.
Cinnabon- Fuck yeah!!!!!
Here we go again….
Yeah, I hate to disagree with you n8, cause you know I think your teh awesome, but Dunkin Donuts pwns krispy cremes in my opinion. Probably because I’m a Masshole by birth, any donut but Dunkins is sacrilidge.
ok, I misspelled sacriledge. oops
GO YANKEES!!!!!
There’s no d in ’sacrilege’
I have to vote for Dunkin Donuts myself, Krispy Kreme is only good fresh. They went out of business here in Arizona.
I forgive both of you. I’ll pray the Flying Spaghetti Monster’s mercy on you. You probably never knew the joy of having a fresh KK glazed, fresh off the line. My buds and I always used to hit the KK on Stratford road (in Winston-Salem, where KK originated) late at night. Nights I’ll never forget…
Nights you’ll never forget? Was it just the donuts??
Heh. We kids got up to all kinds of nonsense on summer nights… you make your own fun in a town like that. But those aren’t stories for a political website.
Ah yes, the weird things teens in rural suburbs do. I look back on many things from my teen years and think “seriously, what was that??” and I wasn’t even that wild.
Whoo! Ema and I have some common ground! We’re both Dunkin Donuts girls. ;D
Of course, now that so many of their new locations are joint ones with baskin robins I’m beginning to suspect a conspiracy to give all clogged arteries or diabetes.
It’s true! I love DD. You can now get an ice cream coffee drink AND a cinnimon role at the same place, that’s dangerous!! They also have a drive through so you don’t have to expend any calories getting out of your car.
The doughnuts are a lie
mmmmm… cake
*drool*
The guy behind him on the right side of the picture’s like, “Yeah, take that, bitches.”
I would totally vote for him for just one of those american doughnuts.
I take it your not from America?
Doughnuts were invented in canada(look it up). go to the source. WAY better doughnuts up here. imho
Does it matter where they were invented? o_o
not much, but canadians make better doughnuts imho. i am of the belief that this is so because we have had longer to perfect the recipe. Tim Horton’s ftw
I don’t think you guys invented Donuts. I always heard it was the Dutch, or thw Portuguese. I know that the Portuguese have been making Malasadas for centuries, and those are just donuts without holes. Come to think of it, I suspect ‘bread dough fried in oil’ has been around even longer than that.
Is that a box of coffee? That has got to be the perfect bookend for my day. Box of coffee to start, box of wine to finish. Excellent. From now on, I’m only accepting beverages in boxes.
And Juice Boxes for Midday! Huzzah!
Green Greasy Greasels!
But will you take your milk in bags?
What’ll they think of next? Tea in bags?
Is that Vin Diesel in the background right behind Obama?
You really need to be slapped for even thinking that.
I’m pretty sure thats Jason Hall.
nope, still think it’s vin diesel
I think it’s adrian fenty, the mayor of DC
It’s Osama Bin Laden.
Oh boy, will you get a life and at least speak somewhat for yourself? No one is amused by your pretense.
It’s not coffee- it’s KoolAid ! And you must drink it !
“My friends, these donuts, take & eat them, they are my ideals; this coffee, drink it, you will need it to wash the nasty foul taste of them from your mouth.”
eeeeeeeeeeeeeexcellent!! Amen.
Those of you not old

You don’t understand
Shut the fuck up. I will say whatever I want to whomever I want. What’s the matter Pooet? You kool-aid not laced enough? What is there to understand? Some fucked up dude (Jim “Barack Obama” Jones” brainwashed a bunch of post-hippie asshats (Democrats) and got them to drink cyanide-laced kool-aid. The ones smart enough to not want to drink it (moderate Democrats), were forced to by the severe majority. Which part of this insanity do I need to understand? I do not want to understand insanity if it means I have to drink the kool-aid. Bottoms up, BITCH!
Wow, throwing a tantrum like a spoiled child is SURE to bring others around to your point of view. You seem like a very worthwhile person, Steve.
Temper tantrums are in, man. They totally let you disregard actually debating since you can just yell and scream loud enough to get your way. Or at least that is the idea.
*ahem* …in bed
(the screaming part, anyway)
I require documented proof of this. Video will suffice and I will be abusing the rewind function to thoroughly examine the evidence.
I erased the video yesterday. Can’t afford to keep that kind of stuff lying around. I might want to run for public office one day! hehe. I guess another trip to the bedroom is what it’s going to take.

Hey, I’m a Democrat, and an Obama supporter, but I hate hippies. Not all liberals fail.
dis-honour the memory of cult crazies who knew it was poison and drank it anyways because their leader said so? they were not heros they were not victims of a crime. they were willing members of a cult. their beliefs led them to drink poison. i feel for their families but at the same time, what they did had no honour. how can you dis-honour something that had no honour in the first place?
Wrong. Some were crazy, some didn’t know what was in the kool-aid, some were forced to drink. Read your history before attempting to comment on it.
As I said before
They are young and ignorant
Ill-mannered lot, too
All points I made, but there is a string of choices. I do not feel bad for most of them. Watch the footage, most took it willingly. Many gave it to their kids. Right, great folks. Keep drinking.
Did you know it wasn’t really name brand Kool Aid? It was generic. The Kool Aid people get so mad about the misinformation.
True facts, I swear.
You’re right about that
The real brand was Flavor-aide
Cheap generic stuff

Yeah, gotta keep McCain off of the White House Lawn somehow
That joke might of made sense if it was the other way around.
Might of made sense if you were smarter
Heh, it’s obviously a political ploy! Remember folks, “America runs on Dunkin’”
It would have been so much better if he had Tim Horton’s though. =)
I know this would convince me!
Ah- my minions are easily swayed. They have such feeble minds !
*insert McCain/diabetes joke here*
*insert fat people on publicly funded health care here*
People in poorer income brackets are more likely to be obese because fatty, processed food is cheaper than fresh fruits, veggies, and whole grain products. Duh.
And they like donuts!! They are easier to fix.
donuts are a basic human right – public funding for donuts!!
How many donuts
Would 700 billion
Buy? Quite a few, yes?
You can’t have your donuts and your affordable housing purchased with bad mortgage loans and eat it too! Someone’s gotta pay.
Right wing nutjobs are getting desperate. They smell of desperation and defeat. Lacking any rational arguments, they resort, as always, to slander and lies. It will not work, their day is done. It will be decades before they return to power.
Until the economy completely tanks under crooked democrat rule. You can’t give things like houses away to the poor no matter how bad you feel for them, someone has got to pay and this time it’s the public, again. Houses that were built with labor and materials that someone paid for, that is real money folks!! Most are duped thinking it’s a bailout of Wallstreet, but it’s not, look at the origins. McCain and other republicans wanted to regulate Fannie and Freddie years ago but democraps cried!! Waaah!! Don’t take our cash cow!!
You fail to understand what happened. Clinton’s deregulation worked. The C Community Reinvestment Act had a higher than average repayment rate. “Giving houses to poor people’ was not the cause of this failure. Your desperation has derailed your ability to think, your crazy political views have caused you to ignore all mainstream news and listen to crack-pots and wingnuts. You don’t understand the present situation, and you can’t, because your brain is damaged by Republican double-think.
Yes, it worked!! Until the housing bubble burst you dolt. Then all the poor who were in houses they couldn’t afford after the rates went up and the values fell stopped paying for them. Are you denying that this whole fiasco was caused by bad mortgage loans? Loans to people who couldn’t afford houses in the first place, who didn’t have to state income? Then what caused it? Wallstreet may have tried to deal with it in some crooked ways but they didn’t create it, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is the source. Evan Clinton admits their should have been regualtion of F&F. Don’t make me look up the video.
This fiasco was caused by far more than bad loans. You simply don’t understand anything about this crisis, EP. Fannie and Freddie are not the source. New, poorly regulated, and poorly understood financial instruments called
derivatives created this mess. Wall street created this mess. Bush created this mess. Poor people did not. Lending to poor people did not. The Community Reinvestment Act borrowers have a higher repayment rate than middle class borrowers. You fail.
No, Seth. Wallstreet had to come up with a way to deal with the whole forclosure mess and that’s what they did, right or wrong to keep the economy from tanking like it’s doing now. But why did they do it? Hmmm? Because of poorly made mortgage loans made with the blessings of Dems. That is the source of the problem. You don’t make loans to people for overpriced homes they can’t afford without checking on their income levels etc. Do you know that in some areas you could actually make a loan on a 200k home for 230k? What kind of sh*t is that?!?
Your lack of understanding of this mess is itself understandable. Like most Americans you aren’t in finance and you don’t make over $200k, so this stuff just isn’t in your day to day experience, so all you have to go on are other people’s opinions.
–
“Poorly made mortages” are very, very far from the real problem, but I can see I’m talking with someone who doesn’t comprehend finance. Derivitaves are a large part of the problem, and supply side economics are another large part. All that money the rich were getting, they had no safe place to invest it. So they created the housing bubble, but they swallowed their own kool-aid.
–
But to reiterate, the Community Reinvestment Act is not the bad guy. CRA borrowers paid back their loans. It was the deregulation by Bush that created the current crisis. But you are too closed minded to hear the truth, I’m sure, and will hold onto your disproved theories, no matter what the evidence.
Take a look, video attached. Democrats screaming at auditors for calling F&F on their bad accounting practices.
“McCain and other republicans wanted to regulate Fannie and Freddie years ago but democraps cried!! Waaah!! Don’t take our cash cow!!”
I love when you guys pretend you’re the victims. “We controlled the House, the Senate, and the Presidency, and we still couldn’t pass our legislation. The Democrats were too clever and powerful to defeat even when we had all the control!”
This is why I tell my forced-pregnancy acquaintances they’re fooling themselves if they think the Republicans are actually going to do something about passing anti-abortion legislation. They had control for 6 years and did nothing. They just use the forced-pregnancy movement as a source of $$$ and indignation.
You could be right, but that still doesn’t mean the whole financial crisis is because of the republicans. Dems can’t play the blame game and then not like it when it’s focused back on them. It’s a bipartisan problem and needs a bipartisan solution. I get sick of all the hatred and blame, reminds me of a failed marriage. “forced-pregnancy”??
Yet you play into the hatred and blame. You have the same ‘rah-rah cheerleader,’ my team versus your team mentality that kills rational debate. I’m not claiming any moral high ground here myself, mind you. But I am pointing out that you play the same game. And when the evidence is squarely against you, only then do you call it a bipartisan problem calling for bipartisan solutions.
How is the evidence against me? How is this NOT a bipartisan problem Seth? I have never been rah rah about this economic fail and you know it. I am voting for McCain for other reasons that have nothing to do with this problem.
That’s my point. You are all ‘rah rah’ about your guy, and your side, and you demonize the other side, until your side’s policies fail dramatically, then you pull the bipartisan card. Which is it? Are we a bunch of crazy loons out to destroy America? Or are we all on the same side, trying to fix things? If the latter, how come you only talk that way when your side fails?
I am not at all convinced the blame for this problem falls on one side or the other. I don’t believe I have ever “demonized” any side any more than you do. Most of the time I’m just trying to have a little fun, what else could my motivation be here? People pick one side or the other, that’s the way things work. But for this problem in my opinion, we need to be on the same side, otherwise people on BOTH sides are going to suffer.
I am going to back Ema on this, Seth my friend. For the most part, we all act out a bit for the lulz because it is one of the precious rare things that actually keeps us sane these days. When I watched CNN and saw them say it didn’t pass, most of their conversation was about how it wasn’t their fault instead of how they would actually fix it or hell, even an apology for not coming to a resolution on anything would have been nice. Instead it was just posturing.
Thanks Wyrm!
You’re a sweetie!
I just calls them like I sees them, babe. XD
“You could be right, but that still doesn’t mean the whole financial crisis is because of the republicans. ”
Fair enough. At least, not *all* or *only* republicans; but it was their leadership that led us down this road. I’ll happy throw those dems that helped under the bus.
Stop, you sound like EP except you’re a left-nut! If we could get the two of you together we’d have a nice set of balls!
Bipartisan 4-Ever!
Remember the matter-antimatter rule ?
I’m not so sure Seth. 8 years of an extremely unpopular Republican administration and Obama isn’t as far ahead as people predicted. I think blind partisanship ignores a multitude of sins, and Bush could have done far worse and still not lost McCain any Republican or right-leaning independent votes.
On that note, I agree with your slander and lies sentiment, but I’ll take it one step further. Politics is _the_ business of slander and lies. The Republicans just have an easier time of it. Doesn’t mean the Democrats don’t try it too. It’s just easier to portray Democrats in a negative light. Here’s some of the radical views of each issue. Which do you think would be easier to get voters upset about using a smear ad?
(Abortion)
Democrats want to allow people to take the lives of innocent children who never had a chance at life.
Republicans want to take away women’s rights over their own bodies.
Verdict: Some absurd “killing babies” propaganda is a lot easier to get people to listen to than some ethereal discussion about rights and where life begins.
(Economy)
Democrats want to tax you to death to support the lazy.
Republicans want to drive up huge national debt and budget deficits to pay for special interests.
Verdict: John Q. Public doesn’t know jack about the economy. All they know is having to pay taxes. Much easier to threaten someone with higher taxes than it is to try and explain why keeping the dollar strong is important, and why any of it matters when the government can conjure $700 billion out of thin air to fix any problem.
You can do this for just about every major issue. Despite Democrats usually having a viewpoint more acceptable to the average American, their viewpoints are also the easiest to unfairly slant against them.
Very thoughtful lolnathan. And very thought provoking.
Ln is always the voice of reason around here!
I rather enjoyed reading that, thank you.
Agreed.
what part of affordable housing purchased with bad mortgage loans is a lie?
According to CNN it would buy every American 2000 apple pies from McDonalds. I want my apple pies, FSMdammit!
I agree, in bed.
It’s getting pretty old now dude. Really.
what? Old people in bed
It is what gets him off I suppose.
Look behind him.
Look.
It’s Forty-Seven, cleverly disguised by smiling, which he otherwise never does.
Someone wants Obama out of the way baaaaaaad…
47 doesn’t get seen.
And if you did see him, you wouldn’t live to tell.
he has donuts…he wins!
Not unless he has enough for ALL of us!
I demand ones with fudge, chopped peanuts, and sprinkles!!!
Lolz
this is pne of my favorites
Obama unleashes new campaign tactics, doughnuts and awesomely good coffee, news coverage at 11.
Maybe he’s just trying to coax out Osama Bin Laden with them.
We shall not fall for your imperialist pig tricks! The Jihad has no need of decadent western… Oooh! Donuts! Hold up everybody, they brought donuts! We’re cool!
Dibs on the Boston Creme!
Dunkin’ Donuts’ coffee is not “awesomely good”. It’s drinkable, which is better than a number of places I’ve been to, but that they standardized the size of the coffee cup so that it is smaller than the plain doughnut and that they almost never carry the titular dunkin’ doughnut.
It was a plain doughnut with a handle, so that one could dunk the doughnut into the coffee (hence the freakin’ name).
I better settle down, lest I decide to go shop-to-shop ordering “joe and a sinker” and punching whoever doesn’t know what I mean…
Their coffee not good? I must be missing something, I haven’t been there in a while.
Actually, McCain sent those doughnuts to Obama. Underneath the doughnuts, found only after eating them, is the 8X10 picture of a naked John McCain with the doughnuts stuck on his pecker.
(Old frat prank )
repugnancy-WIN D:
Krispy Creme/Dunkin Donuts/Cinnabon debate:
I have to trump you all, I’m afraid: the actual king of donuts is from right here in Portland, OR. I understand you all haven’t had the opportunity to visit our rock and roll donut shop (hours: usually 10 PM to 10 AM), but if you are ever in downtown Portland, make sure you visit Voodoo Donuts. Famous world wide!
http://voodoodoughnut.com/
Pretty sure my comment about donut shops got eaten. When in Portland visit Voodoo Donuts for a really good time! Please Google them and visit their website.
MMMM! Bacon donut!
Voodoo does make unique ones
Worth three-hour drive
McCain’s the one who wanted town hall debates every week. That said, this picture is hilarious, with or without a caption.
The picture is from the Washington Post when Obama visited a Dunkin Donuts in DC before the Cheasapeake Primaries. ….
