Just a little sugar in mine please. No cream.

I need to make coffee...at some point.

re: #10 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

Just a little sugar in mine please. No cream.

Good thing. I'm out of cream this morning and don't want to have to go out to the store quite yet.

Ordered a coffee at a dunkin donuts in NJ once, the donut lady put a cup of sugar in my cup of coffee...I made her dump it and try again.

So she dumps that one, pours another and adds a cup of sugar...

Tried two more times to do it without enough sugar to put me in a diabetic coma. She finally agreed to hand me a cup of coffee and sugar packets.

Is that the way that coffee is drank (drunk?) in Jersey, New York? Truly disgusting.

I like my coffee like I like my women.

Hot, creamy and sweet.

Oh, and evil to the core.

No Free Trade coffee for me, please

Good Morning, Lizards!

An Iranian parliamentarian said here on Monday that Washington is the biggest threat to global peace and security.

Secretary-general of Iran's Inter-Parliamentary Group, Mohsen Yahyavi denounced the hegemonic and expansionist policies the US and several other Western powers are exercising in different parts of the world.

He underscored the need for vigilance of the world nations in order to help the international community achieve peace, stability and security.

Yahyavi further called for all-out cooperation among world parliaments in order to counter threats facing democracy.

Referring to Iran's active role at the Inter-Parliamentary Union, he said since the Islamic Republic of Iran enjoys independent policies, it is fully respected by world nations and governments.

The IPU meeting has provided a good opportunity for consultations between the Iranian delegation and representatives of the world parliaments

Yes, isn't that crazy? My brother once ran in and got a Dunkin Donuts coffee for me and it felt like I was drinking a snickers bar. I want my coffee black, that's it.

For anyone that cares, my morning routine includes what I like to call "supershake"

Supershake:

1 scoop of protein powder
1 overflowing tablespoon of instant coffee
1 very large scoop of oatmeal
1 teaspoon peanut butter
1 teaspoon flax seed
10 ounces of water (or equal parts water and milk, if I have fresh milk)

Now that's how you wake up!

A Kurdish rebel group based in northern Iraq threatened on Sunday to launch bomb attacks inside Iran if Tehran fails to halt anti-Kurdish policies in the Islamic country. Pejak (Party of Free Life of Kurdistan) warned it has the ability to "carry out bombings against Iranian forces" inside Iran. Ronahi Ahmed, a member of Pejak's political bureau, told AFP from the group's hideout in Qandil mountain in northern Iraq that the rebels were ready for a long fight with Tehran. "We can't stand handcuffed when Iran is chasing us on daily basis. We have the ability to confront Iran inside Tehran. We are not accepting any threat from anybody," she said. "We don't accept the religious suppression that is being carried out by the Iranians. We totally reject it."

What happens in Vegas...

Soroya Malekzadeh wanted to test Iran's claim to being an open democracy, so she submitted her nomination papers to be a candidate for this month's parliamentary elections.

The reply came from the Interior Ministry, formally disqualifying her for failing to meet Iran's strict Islamic requirements. Now, exhausted by state harassment and imprisonment, she has submitted another set of papers, this time to the Canadian embassy in Tehran in hope of obtaining refugee status.

From a small, one-bedroom apartment in central Tehran, Malekzadeh trembles and blinks nervously as she describes her failed bid to run in Iran's elections.

Visibly exhausted from years of run-ins with the authorities, Malekzadeh, 38, says her vocal stance on women's issues in Iran has left her with little option but to leave.

"I have lost almost everything," she says. "My job, my future, everything," the medical nurse adds.

"Women can't do anything in this country. The government tells us how to dress, whether we can see boys and what we can say ... I want to go to Canada where I can have freedom."

The former lecturer and author with a Masters degree in medicine now spends her days reading and pleading her case for asylum.

"I am not a criminal," she says, sipping tea. "It is my choice whether I want to wear a chador."

Radio Farda correspondent Parnaz Azima, who was stripped of her passport and prevented from leaving Iran for eight months last year, has been convicted by an Iranian revolutionary court of "spreading antistate propaganda" and sentenced to one year in prison. Azima, a former librarian and literary translator who holds both Iranian and U.S. citizenship, is appealing the verdict, of which her Tehran lawyer was informed on March 1. If the decision stands, the Prague-based journalist will face a stark choice: return to Iran to serve out the sentence or forfeit the deed to her 95-year-old mother's Tehran home, which was posted in lieu of bail.

CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said his government is working to create a NATO-like South America defense council along with Brazil and other countries.

During a speech Sunday night, Chavez said the council would unite the region's countries to "design our own defense policies." He said Venezuelan officials planned to discuss it with Brazilian Defense Minister Nelson Jobim when he visits Caracas on Monday.

The leftist leader said he brought up a similar proposal at the start of his presidency in 1999 but that it met with opposition in the region.

"I once said that if NATO exists — the North Atlantic Treaty Organization — why couldn't SATO exist? The South Atlantic Treaty Organization," Chavez said. "We've placed it on the table for Latin America once again."

Chavez was addressing a crowd of supporters outside the presidential palace on the sixth anniversary of his return to power after a short-lived 2002 coup.

Chavez, a close ally of Cuba's Fidel Castro, reiterated his accusation that Washington was behind the 2002 coup and shouted: "Down with imperialism!"

Airplane will always be a special memory to me. About 20 of my high school friends and I went to see it when it opened--the same day as the viewing for one of our friends who had died of cancer at 16. We were such a mess, but someone said, "You know, he would have told us to see Airplane." So we went and celebrated the joy of his friendship and humor.

re: #70 goddessoftheclassroom

I saw it about the same time -- it was the beginning of my senior year of high school, and my uncle had brought me out to stay with him in the Bay area for a couple of weeks. He did this primarily to demonstrate that there was a much wider world than the Illinois-Wisconsin borderlands. I knew that, but I didn't quite have an escape plan. Presenting me with a set of plans was his primary goal, I suspect. I spent much of my time with one of my favorite cousins as well as with various friends of his who gave me exceptionally good advice, albeit indirectly. All of them were classic "neo-cons," though no one knew that term yet -- former Berkeleyites who'd gotten jobs and lives and become Reaganites. Anyway, he, my cousin, and I went to see that one afternoon. I don't remember ever laughing so hard at a movie. All in all, it was a great summer, a sort of turning point.

I was always an entertaiment snob (movies , music, tv, books), even when I was very little, there are tons of things that people love made over the last 30 years that I entirely ignored or really do not like.
I never watched much TV ....and when I was a kid,
if something was popular, I most of the time immediately decided it must also suck
and therefore I would make a point of ignoring it.
I am sure I missed some good stuff that way, but not much.

PHOENIX -- The mayor wants the FBI to investigate whether the local county sheriff has violated any civil rights laws with his recent high-profile crackdowns on illegal immigrants.

The "saturation patrols" have drawn protests from civil rights and immigrant-rights advocates, but they have drawn support from backers of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and from people who believe the government hasn't done enough against illegal immigration.

In an April 4 letter to U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey, Mayor Phil Gordon asked the agency and the Justice Department's civil rights division to examine what he called discriminatory harassment and improper stops, searches, and arrests by sheriff's deputies in Maricopa County, which encompasses the metropolitan area.

"Over the past few weeks, Sheriff Arpaio's actions have infringed on the civil rights of our residents," Gordon wrote. "They have put our residents' well-being, and the well-being of law enforcement officers, at risk."
