President Obama is a big fan of the "D.C. Empanadas" food truck, or at least his Twitter feed is. The 6.3 million-follower @BarackObama feed retweeted a message from the truck, which tweeted its location on Capitol Hill. The message was deleted from the account, which is operated out of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), about 30 minutes after it was posted.

Police in Deming, N.M., say a clerk foiled a robbery last week when she hit the culprit on the back of the head with a package of empanadas, a type of Latin American pastry.
