Barista Gone Wild

Typical day at work. A bit rusty from the weekend funk, slowed a bit. About 530 I was released onto K St. to badger the public about a free morning coffee promotion. When I warmed up, the shtick flowed like fine wine. Buy a muffin...get a free Latte. In a bold Michael Buffer-ish tenor I bellowed Free Coffee! Lost our Lease! It's Free...it's coffee! It will be sobering to face the public in the morning as they storm the Java Palace for their freebie. If only we had a tip jar, sigh!
Now I am watching Discovery times programming about how Al Quaeda spreads propaganda through to media sources. Actually I was very enlightened by a Wash,. Post story about Al-Zawahiri's praise of Hamas' victory in the elections, and warning them about Western influence. We know clearly from their lifestyle that they're not in it for money or power, but for ridiculous devotion to God. They declare that Democracy interferes with God's right to rule. Allahou Akbar, indeed.
