How about this? Their coffee sucks - it's rough without having any real depth - I suspect they are roasting unripe beans.

Dang. Now I'm conflicted. I was already boycotting Starbucks because of its ties to Liberals and Liberal pronouncements.

Now I'm considering ending the boycott because Neil Young is for one.

What to do. What to do.

Neil should do that song from Peter Pan, “I Won’t Grow Up.”

My guess is Neil just doesn't want to spend $5 on some overdressed cup of coffee.

Coffee made at home is cheaper and better tasting than at some fru-fru coffee place.

“Starbucks? “Latte’”?

There was a time when he made fun of people like that.

And that’s not even getting into the anti-GMO Luddite crapola.

I don’t think he’s very happy these days.

Well, I beat him to it!

Been boycotting Char-bucks for YEARS.

It is a sin that they incinerate good coffee beans, brew it, and call it “dark roast”.

AND they don’t allow legally licensed, trained, and safely carrying responsible citizens.
