^@#%()(@! Warn somebody before you post that! Holy crap! I suppose they could have put black boxes over the naughty bits (those faces) but the gestures would have to stay. And those teeth! A little too much mule in the bloodline.

Pretty much anybody who loans Joe Sixpack some money. Auto Loans, Credit Cards, Mortgages, Home Equity Loans. These places will close up shop with no coin to lend. There are a lot of folks who make their living selling money to others.

Have you lost your mind? A third of Ron Paul supporters where libtards that wanted an anti-war candidate on the other side. A third were troofers who think Bush planned 9/11 so he could steal Iraq's oil. And the final third were for smaller government. I guess RP would have a better chance...

Thanks. It's amazing how much better your coffee can be with just a little more effort and knowledge. You don't have to buy $50 a pound coffee and brew it in a $5000 machine. With a bit of ingenuity and common sense, you can make coffee that's as good or better than any retail coffee house...

There will be by golly, even if they have to run the computers all night to add reserves. But ignore that man behind the curtain. Step up and ask Uncle Samta the Wizard what you want for Chistmas in November. And mix in a couple other literary allusions while you are at it. I'm asking for...

I'm not a shot expert, but is your water hot enough, your beans roasted recently, and just ground? I suspect part of the crema results in the right oils being present in proper amounts - and if they dry up then it won't work. Also Espresso roasts are darker than regular, and you have to...

Be sure to allow for the smoke (which'll settle into cloth and get rancid) and the chaff (which can get sucked into the heatgun and catch fire). I've got one of my wife's socks over my heatgun to keep the chaff out, and I roast outside. You'll want to design a system that on one hand keeps a...

Even more highly prized and much more expensive coffee is (and you won't believe this unless you've already seen The Bucket List): <A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kopi_Luwak">Cat Poop Coffee</a> I am not making this up.

Yeah, it almost sounds like it's going to be the new catchphrase for a "Come to Jesus" meeting. Not often that one hears all these rumors and stories about a little ol' get together hosted by the fed.

You can't really read, can you? I mean, you look at the screen and your lips move, but that whole comprehension thing just slips on by.

Great. First the so-called "conservative" party drops a half a trillion dollar bailout package in front of Congress. Then the democrats say "Shit! We can spend money faster than that!" and start trying to tack on even more. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080919/ap_on_bi_ge/financial_meltdown

Doesn't really matter. Nobody that would actually reduce government is going to reach the Oval Office. There are three things that win elections: Money, Power and Public Opinion. There's clearly more money to be made by growing government bigger than by shrinking it. So the vast...

Locally I can get OK green for $5. The basic problem is coffee comes from the wholesaler in ~130 pound bags, and wholesalers are reluctant to send just one of `em. Green keeps for a year or two, but that's still a LOT of coffee. So when I first started roasting, I tried to put together a...

Barry doesn't need the press to set him up: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Vote2008/story?id=5803765&page=1

Poor Biden. Living paycheck to paycheck on a third of a million a year. Not to mention paying the fee to get his money from the check cashing place since he can't afford a savings account. Times are hard for the Bidens. Guess it's Ramon Noodles for dinner most nights, huh? Is there...

I could write a book on this. But, here's some advice. Use some sort of paper filter rather than the gold resusable ones. Coffee contains Cafestol, which pumps up your cholesteral. The paper filters absorb most of this oil. Use fresh beans. Buy them from a local roaster (not $tarbuck$)...

We get the government we vote for. The public has a bottomless sense of entitlement. We could vote every incumbant out of office. Then we could choose between one candidate who promises the moon and the stars and another who says government is not the answer to every single problem. And the...

You've missed the point that has been made repeatedly. The Republican Party is not conservative any more, not by a long shot. Both major parties are for a lot more and bigger government. The debate we've had is over, and conservatives lost. The public has shown they want as big and powerful...

Hey you're not taking it up the butt for big biz bailouts and welfare cheats, but doing your patrotic duty by forking over your life savings. It's a privledge and an honor to sign your paycheck over to Uncle Sam so he can leverage it to borrow even more to hand out. I don't know how these...
