Will the City of Cambridge ban ordering 3 medium-size sugary drinks? What about sugar-free drinks? Can a person still have a giant-sized serving of those? What about a big waffle cone filled with ice cream? What about a giant banana split? Where will it end?

When they finally ban the Skittles...?

 

Maybe if you promised to brush your teeth right afterward you could still have a Skittle. But someone hired by the city would have to be right there to make sure you kept your promise. wallbash.gif

 

All this means is that no one will be able to sell food in Cambridge. This is a city where a very small home can cost over $1 million.

 

All of the riffraff, (sniff, sniff), pouf!

Meanwhile, Scott Brown has the Democrats in a tizzy. I don't want to hear whining about being a squish; it's just not true:

 

So, is it still the “Kennedy Seat”?

There’s an interesting brouhaha developing in the Brown-Warren race.

 

Vicki Kennedy (widow of Ted) has teamed up with MSNBC and the Warren campaign to organize a debate in late September.

 

Scott Brown accepted the invitation on the conditions that MSNBC not be a sponsor and that Vicki Kennedy withold endorsing in the race.

 

Now Kennedy is saying she will not abide by that condition and may make an endorsement (gee, I wonder who she will endorse), via The Boston Herald:

 

Victoria Kennedy is refusing to sit out the Scott Brown-Elizabeth Warren race and withhold her endorsement, thus rejecting a debate demand from the Republican senator’s campaign, officials tell the Herald today.

"Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy."

So we go back a couple of hundred years for the Tea Party Movement and now back 400 years for the Pilgrim Movement.

It appears to me one side of this political divide is vary concerned that no unauthorized sanctioned fun be allowed.

Scare tactics to help implement the prison camps "sustainable communities" of the UN's Agenda 21......

 

Maybe..one thing I'll say this has very little to do with "Saving The Planet".

 

It is a very sad commentary on the institutions that give degrees to these nuts that call themselves scientists. And I'm sure a lot of those institutions are in the U.S.

White Guilt Marches On!

 

Interesting comments on this one.

I agree with this campaign. It is obvious the people who created it only hold their jobs because of the color of their skin. It is obvious they lack any skills or intelligence that would qualify them for the jobs they hold. I also think LeBron James is on the Miami Heat team because of the color of his skin. He is an affirmative action appointment. Businesses don't care about winning no more than do sports teams, so they select people based on their skin color. This must stop. Plus, the state of Minnesota is obviously filled with racists since there are no black people there. Why is that? These people behind this campaign should surrender their jobs to people of color or they are just plain hypocrites.

Ricochet: Being White is Unfair

Diane Ellis

6/21/12

 

The thing about noblesse oblige is that guilty rich people can allay some of their guilt by giving money to charity, or starting foundations, or advocating redistributive policies such as the "Buffett Rule."

 

But what redress exists to ease the burden of white guilt? To the chagrin of a group calling themselves the "Un-Fair Campaign", sponsored by the University of Minnesota — Duluth, it's simply not possible to transfer one's own whiteness to those whom the cosmos cursed at birth with the affliction of a higher concentration of melanin. So the Un-Fair Campaign's solution? Confessing their guilt upon their faces with black Sharpie.

 

(Snip)

 

The problem with this approach is that those decrying how wrong it is to see a color instead of a person are the very ones insisting on labeling themselves and others (with a Sharpie, no less!) by color. As one student at UMD wrote in response to the campaign, "It may be drawing awareness to factors that we might otherwise not pay attention to, but it's creating a gap between people. It's only making people more racist on both sides."

The company is to open its first outlet dedicated to the drink by the autumn. The new concept store, called Tazo, will be tested in Seattle and follows the inauguration of the company's first juice bar, Evolution Fresh, in a Seattle suburb in March.

 

Tazo will sell more than 80 varieties of loose leaf tea as well as related products such as tea pots. Starbucks, which has 17,000 outlets worldwide, bought Tazo for $8.1m in 1999 and currently sells its tea products through third-party retailers.
