Scatarabica Venti Mocha Nada

This has got to be the most Defeatist thing I've ever seen:

So many of you are upset that I pulled back my credit card last night, making a last minute decision to hold back on a $2,300 contribution to Obama. Let me explain further:

blahblahblah talking to the moon and the stars blahblahblah

Seriously, why would anyone give their money to a politician or a political cause?  What a waste.  At least if you give like 50 bucks or something, it's a symbolic gesture.  But to clear and then max out your credit card for Obama?  Or hell, to have room on your credit card and then donate a mortgage payment or two?  You're either high or retarded.  Or high and retarded.

Listen, I went to Starbucks this morning while I was out in the field.  It was the first time in some years since I've been to one to buy coffee.  Usually I just watch Mrs.Fundamental buy a cup courtesy of a gift card or whatever.  Well, I figured after this and that, that they'd have gotten a better latte down.  Nope, it still fucking tasted like burnt tires.  Starbucks blows. 

But at the least it provided a mild colonic.  So I guess there are similarities here, though I'm really not sure.  It could go either way: either you receive no enjoyment or fulfillment from the colonic of giving Obama $2300, or that is in fact the mild anal release you were looking for.

I digress. 

So, um, yeah.  Let me know when Obama makes the NYSE or whatever and what his stock value is.  I wouldn't be looking for much return on him though.  Fools.

Never drink Starbucks lattes or other drinks made behind the espresso maker, unless it's going to be over ice. They use either their house or their espresso blends, the two least favorite world-wide of all their coffees. Interestingly, the House Blend was not the House Blend when they were really good, and small, and a big deal to find outside of downtown Seattle. The Pikes Place blend was. Since they offer that as drip everyday, try that.

I have few vices left. Good coffee is the only one that I can think of, save meat. And, watching American politics. So, I'm a coffee snob.

Umm, shouldn't it be the other way round? (Batboy's office sending checkst to Mr. Kos?)

Spending 4 bucks on a venti latte is akin to donating to a political campaign. Both activities leave you unsatisfied and with a bitter aftertaste. Me, I prefer the Coffee Bean's blends to Starbucks any day. But lately I've been drinking this stuff my father-in-law brought from El Salvador. He's become my official dealer. I have at least 10 bags in my pantry.

I used to enjoy the stuff when I was in Panama. The dark roast they used would take the top of your head off, and the temperature that they like to serve it at, especially true Cuban coffee -- why was I drinking Cuban Coffee in Panama in 1986? Because...--would cauterize hemorrhoids on the way out...
