TPMmuckraker: caffienated vindiacation

TPMmuckraker: "No Foam: Just what it means. (I should note that some traditionalists believe (rightly, I posit) that a latte should have no foam at all, making this qualifier redundant. Starbucks baristas, however, are ordered to include a 'quarter-inch' of foam on their latte creations 'to create a delicate first impression,' according to the company Web site.)"

asshats. back when I was on the bean, if I forgot to ask for "no foam", I'd get a 20 ounce cup with 12 ounces of coffee/milk mix and 8 ounces of foam.

Thom Hartmann Review: Kingdom Coming: The Rise of Christian Nationalism by Michelle Goldberg

Thom Hartmann Review: Kingdom Coming: The Rise of Christian Nationalism by Michelle Goldberg: "I say 'pseudo Christian' (although Goldberg does not - she doesn't engage in theological debate in her book) because for most people like myself who were raised as Christians, the Christian Nationalists propound a form of church/state merger, and an essential theology, that is completely at odds with the Jesus of the Sermon on the Mount and Matthew 25 ('feed the hungry, clothe the naked, visit those in prison, heal the sick,' etc.)."
