Somehow it seems pathetic that Starbucks closing down nationally for employee traingin should make news headlines. I was more than mildly irritated when Paris Hilton was garnering headlines right next actually important world events. This is enough to make me snap.

Need you cup of coffee tonight? Well, Starbucks nationwide are closing \from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. for employee training.

My solution? Pull into Barnie’s. They have higher quality coffee. Or, try your local 7-11. Their pot of coffee is surprisingly good. Or, seriously, just brew your own. Gas is over $3 a gallon, what in the name of all that is good and Holy are you doing spending that much money on a cup of coffee anyway!?
