Cheers!


First, Harry Potter and friends cope with the horrors of the Dark Lord returning and puberty hitting by gulping down butterbeers in "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince."

Then, President Obama eases racial tensions by inviting Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and Sgt. James Crowley over to the White House for a beer summit.

I would like to suggest that when butterbeer and Bud Lite isn't strong enough to solve life's major problems, world leaders and heroes turn to other culinary strategies for help.

When meeting with key figures in North Korea to discuss nuclear disarmament, Hillary Clinton could arrive armed with cupcakes from Magnolia Bakery. Or when visiting French President Nicolas Sarkozy, she could bring the Franzia. In Iran, she could bring Bobby Flay for a "throwdown."
Bon appetit!
