Perhaps a cost-benefit analysis of the new Starbucks drink would result in regulations that only allow us to drink 1/3 of a cup of coffee (with the other 2/3rds going missing, I suppose).
Holy Folgers, Batman! 4-5 cups of coffee in one cup? 600 calories? Why don’t we all just grab the pot by the handle and go sit in the corner with a pound of sugar and a spoon? And nowhere in the article does it say how much Starbucks is planning to charge for this monstrosity.
Corruption isn’t just a tax on well-intentioned aid, it fuels the machinery of tyranny. Thus, the path to other people’s hell is paved with the good intentions of celebrities.

Five Myths About VA Health Care Eligibility ? Huh?What are considered to be myths today were once facts .Likewise, today’s facts will most eklily be tommorrow’s myths . This VA gives good service that VA does not . This VA used to give bad service but now it has improved and now gives good service. I read here that we should dismiss negative comments and check things out for ourselves. The reverse should also be advised dismiss positive comments and check things out for ourselves.The VA is an unstable, inconsistent, unpredictable organization. It is a popular political football that Congress seems to like kicking around when it so chooses.I have never seen an organization with morals and souls. These elements only exist within the people who operate the organization and those who receive the service.The VA seems to be in perpetual turmoil for a variety of reasons. When folks in need of an organization’s consistency and stability are subjected to unstable conditions there is victimization. People get hurt.It seems to me that since myths and facts change over time (sometimes for no good reason) and across people we all need to remain skeptical about what is fact and what is fiction each and everyday-especially within an unstable organizational climate Caveat Emptor everybody
