Shop around for doctors! Always fucking shop for doctors. Doctors are stupid assholes. And they get by because people are cowed by their mystical bullshit quality of being able to maintain a 3.0 GPA at some Guatemalan medical college for 3 semesters. Find one that makes sense.

robert kuttner endorsed some woman from planned parenthood for DNC chair instead of ellison because he offends the israel lobby and that's unacceptably divisive

http://prospect.org/article/cecile-richards-or-tom-perez-dnc-chair

tom perez is actually a good choice though, i'd be fine with him
Offends Israel in the most mild, vague way, by acknowledging that there are 350m people in the middle east and that making all of our foreign policy decisions on the happiness of the 2% of them who live in Israel probably isn't the best path for long term stability.

I guess Perez is alright, although I'm not sure why someone whose highest elected office is Montgomery County Council is a shoe in to rebuild a national political party. Frankly I have no idea what his politics are other than "Obama wanted him".

The darkness you pick your beans is entirely based on taste. Different flavor profiles take over at different stages. Try em all out, see what you like.

It's coffee you should enjoy it. Except of it's free then well it's free.

I splurged recently switching from Nescafé Red or whatever to Nescafé Collection Alta Rica and I'm still getting the hang again of eyeballing how much goes in the mug before the hot water does

Sometimes if I wake up late and don't get coffee before work I use the machine in the back with the Kirkland brand beans

Pretty cheap.

Also there's a place near me named Dark Matter and the roasting place is like 1 block from me so every morning it smells like coffee.

I quit soda and drink coffee for my caffeine

I go with the Kirkland beans in the green bag for I am white middle class.

At work it's coffee roulette where I go with the most full coffee jug and hope it isn't left over from day shift. It's free and has caffeine which I guess is the best I can get on night shift.
