He may be on to something, as I prefer Dunkin' Donuts coffee.
You may be right because you are talking to the ONLY human being in the United States over the age of 16 who has never had Starbucks coffee.
Too 80's for me. Back then we were grinding our own water decaf politically correct decaf beans and had an array of interesting gadgets to process perfect cups of coffee. It was an art form for a while. After a while though, reality hits and coffee is just coffee. That is when true maturity occurs.
I think I'm the only one who goes into Starbucks and gets the regular coffee. It blows, but it's next door and convenient. The beret wearing, NYT reading libs all get the mocha's, caramel concoctions which cost $6.00 or so and taste like milkshakes. I think they can't stand the coffee either, but feel elite by drinking sugar out of a Starbucks cup while Green Day plays over their weenie conversations.
I actually do like the DD coffee, very flavorful even black w/o sugar.
You are not alone.
And the whole Carville, Matalin thing really bugs me. I don't like that politics is being ground into a game of dodgeball, especially these days when so much is riding on the line.
Too many of our fellow citizens are not up to the challenge of self governance and education that our Republic requires.
Carville and Matalin further muddy the waters IMO.
Nope! Not me! Of course, I gave up coffee about 15 years ago, because I'm seriesly addicted to it. I used to go through nearly 2 54oz mugs every morning, until I realized that I could no longer wire RS-232 connectors. So I went cold turkey, and that was long before they over opened a Starbucks in KC (I think... Plus, I'm too damned cheap! Quick Trip charged less than $1.50 for that 54oz refill! And I'd fill it a second time at work.)
