Someone has money. <\/p>\n<p>People look whipped. Mainstream America feels whipped to me, although I don&#8217;t think they realize it. <\/p>\n<p>One wonders how Facebook undermined democracy on election day. To think that progressive organizations are using the service to coordinate and promote progressive causes is mind-boggling to me. <\/p>\n<p>The coffee here sucks.<\/p>\n<p>A special coffee purchase supports a military unit stationed somewhere in the Middle East or Asia participating in the longest wars in American history with no end in sight. <\/p>\n<p>Lines are seven deep. <\/p>\n<p>One of the baristas is singing the orders as customers place them. It will be a viral video soon, with the appearance of human spontaneity, but really, the result of a directive from corporate headquarters. <\/p>\n<p>I think I&#8217;ll read the Lawrence Durrell novel I found on the road. I dived in last night and it was barely readable. No one writes with that rococo style anymore. It&#8217;s just too grim out there for ornamentation. <\/p>\n<p>So are the Democrats drafting articles of impeachment yet?<\/p>\n<p>Does anyone ever work anymore?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been sitting for 30 minutes and I still can&#8217;t sip the coffee. Too hot. <\/p>\n<p>I see they have a new special holiday drink with the word \u201cbliss\u201d in the title. Well, at least corporate is introducing a new vocabulary word for most of the customers.  How about a drink with the word \u201cephemeral\u201d or \u201copaque\u201d in it?<\/p>\n<p>Bodies are listing in here. The ship of state, too. <\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-4574\" data-postid=\"4574\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-4574 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An army works for the coffee shop after the election.
