Starbucks tea frappuccinos
this prob won't be the Best Blog Item Ever Written, but at least it'll be a blog item posted (rather than the desert this place has been ... very bizzy lately), and it is, of course, about starbucks: namely, new Pomegranate and Tangerine Frappuccinos made w/ fruit juice & Tazo tea. officially, frappuccinos should be coffee-based; if it's fruit, call it a $#!& smoothie. but they can't call it a smoothie cuz smoothie implies a certain degree of healthfulness i.e. fruit etc, and these are really just juice & ice. which makes them no less welcome - fruit-ish is an ok alternative to the usual coffee/dairy, and anything thick & icy is good. and lookit sbux, jumping on the pom wagon. really they could call it a slurpee but that name's already taken. (sbux vets might recall that they kinda had these last yr in mango & citrus flavors.) meanwhile, also new at sbux: Iced Cafe con Leche, made w/ coffee, syrup & whole milkHey, sorry to bog this item down w/ activist stuff but TODAY the Senate Commerce Committee is debating Net neutrality. If you're not up on it, here's a good summary. Make a quick call to these slacker senators and ask them to support Internet freedom via the Snowe-Dorgan Amendment:

I'd give the Tangerine a go adn the Iced Cafe con Leche as well.
Now, see, I'll go first for the Pomegranate. I'm on that bandwagon, too!
Damn it, TG. Stop telling people to call their Senators over this issue. It is completely within the authority of the Executive Branch -- more specifically, the President (and maybe the Vice President)) -- to decide which websites you visit and which ones you can't.
Get her home address, Dick.
Already have it. You should know better than that, Rummy.
It's obvious no one appreciates your endless Starbucks promotion OR your political postings. Time to go back to the bubble-headed food trivia for which you are famous.
Hey, anonymous. You ain't so anonymous. Get a life, or you'll be spending time in Guantanamo, too.
I thought pomegranate wouldn't last very long as the flavor of the month, but I was wrong. I'm waiting for a pomegranate energy drink or a real 7-11 pomegranate Slurpee.
ms.ery, ms.ery, where art thou?
T.G. I applaud your attempts to rouse up the rabble! Get these lazy do-nothings off your blog, girl!
Don't say I never give you "scoops" or "exclusives," TG.
You heard it hear first ...
Effective immediately the President (and maybe the Vice President) exercises his (and maybe our) authority to dissolve the Supreme Court of the United States. Those guys wouldn't know the law if it fell in their laps!
Go fuck yourselves, Breyer, Ginsburg, Kennedy, Souter and Stevens. And Roberts ... what the hell good are you if you can't blackmail two of them to rule on the side of Presidential (and maybe Vice Presidential) Authority?
I tried the pomegranate drink at Starbucks and to me it tasted like a melted popsicle. Too sweet! And I got it for free as I have a friend who works there.
