Tea Parties, Coffee Parties
Furious at the tempest over the Tea Party — the scattershot citizen uprising against big government and wild spending – Annabel Park did what any American does when she feels her voice has been drowned out: She squeezed her anger into a Facebook status update.
Coffee Party activists say their civic brew’s a tastier choice than Tea Party’slet’s start a coffee party . . . smoothie party. red bull party. anything but tea. geez. ooh how about cappuccino party? that would really piss ‘em off bec it sounds elitist . . . let’s get together and drink cappuccino and have real political dialogue with substance and compassion.
Progress is patriotic, they tell the camera. Wake up. Espresso yourself. Something is brewing, America.
Somethin is brewin America, that’s for dang sure.
Heck all we’re askin for is fiscal responsibility, free markets, a president who actually likes his country, limited government and lower taxes. Too much to ask?
And heck………..check dis out.
Coffee may cut the risk of dementia by blocking the damage cholesterol can inflict on the body, research suggests.
Daily caffeine ‘protects brain’
“Caffeine appears to block several of the disruptive effects of cholesterol that make the blood-brain barrier leaky,” ………..“High levels of cholesterol are a risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease, perhaps by compromising the protective nature of the blood brain barrier…….
“This is the best evidence yet that caffeine equivalent to one cup of coffee a day can help protect the brain against cholesterol.
Ah yes.
Coffee.
The most maligned but undoubtedly, the most beloved beverage in the world.
Try talkin to me before mah mornin cup..NOT!
108 million Americans who routinely enjoy this morning ritual can’t all be wrong, can they?
We know coffee beans are chockfull of antioxidants.
And most of us have already heard how caffeine helps in the treatement of headaches. Heck, Anacin or Excedrin can contain as much as 120 milligrams of caffeine.
On the flip side, coffee can make people jittery and even raise cholesterol levels, sooooooooo don’t overdue it..and hey……Just because it’s rich in some antioxidants,- coffee is no substitute for fruit and vegetables. Sorry.
As a matter of fact, Dates, red grapes, and cranberrries are among the leading fruit sources of antioxidants…so..have some cranberry pie with that cup of java?
As soon as you sit down to a cup of hot coffee, your boss will ask you to do something which will last until the coffee is cold.
Don’t drink coffee in the morning. It will keep you awake until noon.
Man does not live by coffee alone. Have a danish.
What say Y’all sweet friends?..Coffee, tea or me?

Oh no, Angel. Does this mean I have to change the name of my blog? I thought the Progressives already had their own activist organization, it’s called the Democrat Party.

To quote Captain Janeway from Star Trek, “Coffee: the finest organic suspension ever devised.”

Angel, you are too creative. As for this so-called “coffee party”, I left a comment on Left Coast Rebel’s blog of the same name that said basically this: It’s the perfect kind of organization for a bunch of bitter left wing whack jobs with too much time on their hands.

Did the early patriots toss coffee into Boston harbor along with the Tea. I don’t know “Coffee Party” or “Tea Party”, well this old redneck would really like a “Beer Party”! Circle the Pickups!

Coffee is my drug of choice. Pry the cup from my cold dead fingers! Heh.
February 27th, 2010 at 2:05 am
I’ll not give up my coffee, even though it is being used for evil purposes.
You can take my coffee from my cold, dead hands!

“…..coffee is no substitute for fruit and vegetables. Sorry.”
Dang! I was about to toss that damn broccoli out with the trash, never mind i think i’ll throw it out anyway.
February 27th, 2010 at 9:50 am
I’ll take that broccoli! And some coffee…

Hiya Angel, Been a busy week for me but I saw the ‘coffee party’ thing and have to say that all it is , is a continuation of stupidity albeit another name.
February 27th, 2010 at 9:53 pm
Gosh-you mean that strong cup of fresh ground that I make in the morning and the double shot of espresso I have at SB’s in the afternoon is going to help me live -nearly- forever!!!—Great!!

In that case, I should be in good shape — unless I’m overdoing the gulping, of course.
I do drink a lot of coffee. A legal addiction!
