    Clearly this warrants a taco summit at the White House. The president can moderate a debate between soft and hard shell.

    I think "I'm not racist, I eat tacos" beats "I have black friends."

    East Haven's mayor might have lost his brain when the camera started rolling, or maybe he really really likes tacos cour.at/xSLm6n
