Starbucks mocks town hall protests in new ad

I just saw a new commercial from Starbucks. What were they thinking?!?! Why would they insult the 50%+ of Americans who do not support Obama and the Democrats' overhaul of health care? The people who attend these town hall meetings? The people who support the town hall meetings but wasn't able to attend one? What idiot thought that this was was a brilliant idea?

Here is the email I just sent them. Short, sweet, and to the point.

"I watched your new commercial and am disgusting. Why would you mock everyone who are attending town hall meetings and expressing their concerns? What does that have to do with selling coffee? Absolutely nothing. You have just lost any future business from me and my family."

If you are fed up with the mocking of town hall protestors like I am, send Starbucks an email at the site below.

Obama calls Kanye West a "jack***"

I'm sure by now you've all heard about Kanye West ("George Bush doesn't like black people") interupting Taylor Swift (country music singer) during her acceptance speech at the VMA's to say that Beyonce should have won. Tonight, Terry Moran of ABC tweeted "Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a 'jack***' for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT'S presidential." I edited the word for my blog, but Moran didn't. Wow, I finally agree with Obama on something. Kanye was a HUGE jerk who stole a wonderful moment from a 19 year old girl on national tv. Luckily he was booed every time his name was mentioned for the remainder of the award show.

BUT...Moran was right about something. Even though Obama was right, how professional is it for the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES to call a rapper a jack***?? Aren't there more pertinent issues he could be commenting on? Shouldn't he watch his language since many young people (and his daughters) look up to him? But thank you, Obama, for stating the obvious. (insert rolling eyes smiley here) And another thing, Kanye was also a jerk when he said "George Bush doesn't like black people" during a Katrina fundraiser.

I APPLAUD Beyonce for trying to make up for the humiliation by calling Taylor back to the stage to give her acceptance speech when Beyonce won an award.

Kanye, shame on you!!!!
