Wow, this would have been flagged as politically incorrect ten years ago. But, what the hey, we don't build any products anymore that would need any advertising so what matter would it make offending anyone? And, after the passing of this forced healthcare, the precedent has now been set that the proprietor is the new boss over the customer: "Sorry, sir, but you can't buy that big gulp at the same time that you buy that candy bar!"

Just the other day I was sitting in a Starbucks having a casual conversation with some of my social communist friends. They were relaxing stating their claims calmly arguing on the side that president Obama is every bit as great of a dictator as were the likes of Fidel Castro and Joseph Stalin. Suzy sneezed suddenly in response. I was about to argue that both of those great dictators put president Obama to shame when, being distracted by motions outside the window, I witnessed a mother bird, much to my delight, feeding herself busily so that she could fly back to her nest to feed her chick.

That is why I love drinking coffee at Starbucks. It is so casual.

I watched a documentary on the Texas history book changes thanks to Mr. Dentist being the head of the Texas education board. It is really sad and I hope the kids "learning" the bs and tidbits they added in and left off do their own research. Or that the teachers teach it differently.

Well that is about as correct as calling illegal's undocumented workers…

But come on of course Texas isn't as backwards as GA or MS!

If that isn't damning us with faint praise, I don't know what is.

Having said that...Texas is pretty backwards.
