they are huge Blue contributors (at least they were)

Provided, like me, you regard coffee as your God. Because if coffee is God, Starbuck's is blasphemy.

My cats have that job already.

Well, they think so...

I'm sort of an agnostic trying to find a new coffee church...

I worship at my local coffee shop, which brews one heck of a cup of coffee (so good, in fact, that I put up with their abyssmal customer service, which is usually a deal-breaker for me).

my problem is they aren't anywhere near my regular morning commute...

It lets us make total asses of ourselves to our heart's content.

It doesn't say that the rest of us shouldn't denounce and shun total asses.

A few right-wingers want to ban speech critical of *THEM,* and some right-wingers spend tons of their own money to set up right-wing "news" outlets, far-right blogs and "opinion" pages, and put fat dope addicts on the AM radio.

And we do some of this for our side also.
We're just a lot more honest about waht we post and put on radio or TV.

Now I'm off to Chic-fil-a for one of their delicious chicken nugget dinners.

but a 7 dollar cup of coffee is at least seditious

but not against god, just against good coffee.

Starbucks coffee is horrible bitter garbage.

When I first started drinking coffee I enjoyed Starbucks. I am happy to say my tastes have improved over the years.

about ten or so years ago. I am not sure, but like you I used to like it as well. One day all of a sudden the coffee turned bitter and has been bitter garbage ever since.

But then, what do I know?

I usually make my own and buy their whole bean coffees. They taste pretty good to me, although I like the lighter roasts. At work I am stuck drinking Folgers so maybe that explains it.

What do you think is the best brand of whole beans that is widely available?

however, their Gold Coast coffee, now known as "Morning Joe" (I know, gag me!) is the best coffee I've ever had, including $40/lb Hawaiian Kona.

The next time I am dragged in there by someone I will have to try it. Thanks for the tip.

I hate the burnt taste of Starbucks coffee.

Not that I go often, since the only one here is in a grocery store. We actually plan are large shopping trips for Sunday mornings because everything is vacant due to the faithful being otherwise occupied.

I was really disappointed that this idiot decided not to run against Cornyn

for most-replied threads.

Get your priorities straight.

A young cousin of mine posted something about Chick-Fil-A and homosexuals on Facebook (yeah, she's a little behind the times - this is apparently her hearing about it for the first time), and that started a polite shitstorm of replies, including one from my very conservative, religious niece, who talked about supporting the right kind of companies. So I had to mention that the beverages they sell, the credit cards they accept, the computers and operating systems they use, and the cars you drive to the restaurant are all very much pro-gay.

Be sure to add an extra shot or two of espresso!

tall is the small (12oz) grande is the medium(16oz is one pint) and venti is the "ohmygodthisistoolargeifIdrinkallthiscoffeeimgoingtohavesuchacaffeinebuzzandshitmyself." (20oz. 23oz in cold) There's also a cold Trenta which is just disturbing at 30oz...or the rough equivalent of a half-carafe in the average home-brewer.

All because Americans wouldn't buy a short, the size of a normal cup of coffee. (8oz.)

toast you all, and laugh at that one...

For a Mocha as quickly as possible!

to post "no-guns" signs on their doors.

(To be fair, Starbucks has asked its patrons to leave their firearms at home but will continue to serve those who chose to legally carry while in Starbucks" establishments.)

and you can keep drinking your...

I don't like it but I will suffer just to give a good old FU to David Barton

to commit treason against God. I can't afford to go to Starbucks all the time...

So I am not committing treason against a deity I do not believe in anyway.
