conservatives = professional whiners.
Coffee with steam
Some conservatives are angered by opinionated quotes that Starbucks puts on its cups.
By JAY CRIDLIN, Times Staff Writer
Published March 25, 2005

Moments after picking up a venti vanilla latte from a St. Petersburg Starbucks, Sam Maston removed his cup's cardboard sleeve to inspect a message printed beneath.

"America's national debt is now $7.5-trillion, and it's skyrocketing, even as America's population ages," the cup read. "There will never be a better time to start paying off this crippling debt than today."

The quote, from environmentalist Denis Hayes, didn't faze the 29-year-old Maston.

"I'm a pretty hardcore Democrat," said Maston, who wore a black rubber wristband bearing the words I DID NOT VOTE 4 BUSH. "I think they should put that stuff on there."

Not everyone agrees. MORE>>>

1. One quote from a puke in the article
"There are a lot of great conservative quotes, but oh well," she said. "I'm not surprised. I'm used to being under-represented."

GMAFB!!

3. What do they tell us about Faux?
Just don't patronize them!

Of course, there are all sorts of alternatives to Starbucks, and Fox is a broadcast entity, using the public airwaves to spread their propaganda, so it's not a perfect analogy.

But sheesh! What a bunch of crybabies the conservatives have become since St. Ronnie died. Almost like they buried their spine with him . . .

4. I must truly be evil. The picture of the crying kid at the bottom of your
post is making me laugh hysterically.

Bad, bad. }(

It keeps reminding me of the idiot who claimed his daughter's sign was taken away by a big, bad Democrat.
