I would be careful about using Kava Kava I’ve heard some horror stories of bad reaction to Kava Kava including liver failure.

Yeah, if coffee was the worst thing I put in my body...

[stuartcr]

I usually don’t shoot in the morning, but I do avoid having a cup on the way to the range.

Republicans make money. Republicans spend money. Starbucks is more expensive than cheap azz weak coffee places like donuts shops.

Republicans drink Starbucks ... at least as much, if not more than, Liberals.

Republicans make money. Democrats are on welfare. I make good money and spend it.

I roll outta bed on Saturday and buy a cup at Starbucks. Plain old brewed coffee, nothing fancy ... it’s called “coffee of the day” or “house brew”/ Don;t be embarrassed.

But we Republicans can afford our pricey cups of coffee. Bring it!

I follow your logic.And it's a plausible scenario.But think for a minute.....who votes for RATS? It's mainly guilt ridden,trust-funded whites and the "victims" of the nation.Take my neck of the woods,for example.In Cambridge (home of Harvard) and Brookline (home of Dukakis,The Tank Commander) you can't walk 10 feet without passing a Starbucks.And trust me when I tell you that Hussein carried both towns with 90% of the vote.But travel a few miles to Roxbury,also carried by Hussein with 90% of the vote,there's not a single one to be found.Why? Because the first two have $$$,the third is populated by "victims"...no $$$.

Investigate *where* it is that you'll find...and won't find...a Starbucks and you'll understand what I'm saying.

And BTW...the same kind of thing is true of "Whole Foods" stores and KFC's.Check it out.

[BunnySlippers]

I’m in LA, I know.

But you will find Conservatives at Starbucks and Whole Foods [I shop at both many times a week ... I hate KFC though].

I was even at opening day at my local Starbucks in Hollywood. There were “anti-capitalists” who carried on a demonstration decrying “corporate coffee”. Even though Starbucks treats their employees VERY well, even the part time employees.

And the office Liberal cautioned me not to frequent Starbucks because they are driving out the Mom & Pop stores. I hate the Mom and Pop stores ... they are filled with all the people who demonstrated at the Starbucks opening ... give me corporate coffee!!!

And you have to be making decent money to shop at Whole Foods regularly. I’m sure you know that.

I don't see too many square-spectacled commies at the Starbucks outlets in Winchester, VA.

And don't be dissin' my sushi, bro ...

[envisio]

I just don’t get it. People actually walk pass 5 different resturants that serve FOOD to get to a sushi bar. I don’t get that. Now I can understand fancymen or maybe a woman, just not me.

Perhaps because I am usually wearing Dickies or overalls and Roper boots covered in motor oil and cow manure. It wouldn’t really look right for me to hold a little plate of sushi in one hand and a chainsaw in the other.

Xactly. At mine too (in Arizona...)

[JasonC]

Xactly. Every Saturday morning you will find me at our SB drinking strong coffee and reading Barrons for investment ideas...
