The Perfect Cold Beverage For Catching A Little Bit Of Rachel Maddow In Peace

“A BBC investigation has found bacteria from faeces in Starbucks, Costa, and Caffe Nero iced drinks”

Shitty coffee? Hey - Liberal newscasts do the same to their viewers, daily, without complaint.

If Something Isn't Racist It Just Hasn't Been Invented Yet

Each tree and farm, street and courthouse of my home county rests on shallow-buried stories of slavery and Civil War

Ladies And Gentlemen - The American Vladimir Putin

Having a black girl serving his coffee is enough to raise questions in some quarters, but I'm more concerned he's not much of a planner:

Taking a cup of coffee with you into the water?

And what is it about politicians doing surreal ads by large bodies of water?

I stared back at this motherfucker for days,....

Splitting The Adam

 

It doesn't matter that few in politics share my concerns, because I'm still in good company:

"David Colquhoun, professor of pharmacology at University College London for 30 years, has lately led a double life. In his day job, he has pioneered painstaking research into the binding properties of molecules and contributed extensively to understanding the particular influences on ion channel function in the development of drugs. In his after-hours alter ego, however, he is the take-no-prisoners scourge of quackery and mumbo-jumbo in his unmissable blog, DC's Improbable Science. 

For a decade or more, no homeopath or acupuncturist has been safe from Professor Colquhoun's scathing, and often comic, online analysis. No newspaper report of the latest carcinogen – sausages or coffee or cheese – can survive his statistical scrutiny. He wages rigorous war against the march of managerialism and corporate speak through academia and the NHS. And, at 76, you would have to say he rather enjoys it."

 I'll take these professors - over any of the others I know - any day,...

 

"What We've Got Here Is,...Failure To Communicate"

Fuck, I feel compelled to go over some of this stuff again - like you're going to get a test later or something - when all you're going to be asking is Does confidence really breed success? Or should you be Defending the Cult of Starbucks? (Yes, I said the Cult of Starbucks.) Class is "In Session":

Tail (It's Embarrassing,...)

Now that I'm caring for a seriously delusional friend, what passes for normal behavior is coming into even better focus than usual. Especially the way people impulsively fill holes in their knowledge with nonsense, thinking they're clever, and growing angry when caught out. I'm now thinking that's when they're least human because, clearly, it's when they've forgotten one of the most important aspects of any mature person's self-identity - something we honestly should grapple with each and every day:

 We're only animals.

And not very bright ones at that,…

 

Coffee And Cream - Hold The Sugar,...

Call me when anyone is capable of getting a clue, will you?

A woman who was spotted masturbating in a Starbucks was arrested yesterday after Florida cops searched her purse and found a pipe with cocaine residue.

All in a days work, People. All in a days work,....

 

Hot Stuff (There Was Nothing Left But Getting Goopy,...)

If you haven't read this by now, or figured it out on your own, then you're completely out of touch:

Pour it on: Study ties coffee to longer life. 

 There. Now you know: 

♪ I'm going to live fo-re-ver! ♬ I'm going to live fo-re-ver! ♪ 

Oh dear - will somebody please help me? 

*Sigh* 

My name is Gwyneth Paltrow, I'm a NewAger, and I let Madonna put Foldger's in my butt,…
 

A Caffeine Break For The Broke-Ass Crazy Man

Hello Again! Happy Monday! Lots of wonderful weirdness, and other violations to the social order, to get into today (we've been looking at the interwebs all morning) but - before we can get into it - we've got to get the blood flowing by popping out for that first cup of coffee!

So, check back in a while, or make a small donation while you pass the time (we really do need it, kids) and we'll have something up as soon as we can, O.K.? O.K..

Cheers.
