Seven-Eleven is apparently getting their coffee from a new supplier. I know that supplier well. By taste. Or should I say lack thereof. I complained bitterly when Netscape switched to that supplier a few years ago. I doubt that any more than ten percent of whatever is in the grounds comes from an actual coffee plant. My guess is the rest is just inert filler that they scorched so it would impart a roasted taste. Probably ground corn husks.

Blix tells Iraq to rid itself of the ninety-someodd mile missiles. This is precisely what I wrote about yesterday. We now know what they're for. That's Saddam's defense. Put something nasty in those aluminum tubes and aim 'em at the wells. Think he's gonna' voluntarily destroy his defense so we can go in and take his country unopposed? Fat chance. What an arrogant country we represent. Not only are we gonna' take over your oil patch, but you're only allowed to fight back with AK-47's. Let's try and take them too. Then none of our boys will get hurt. It's a brilliant idea, but I think it's flawed.
