Starbucks recreates 'Wild West' atmosphere.

This really isn't funny. I hate guns.


From Credo Action

Tell Starbucks: Offer espresso shots, not gunshots

Over the past few months, more and more gun owners have been gathering at restaurants and coffee shops like Starbucks with guns strapped to their hips, intimidating fellow patrons.1

Businesses can legally create policies to prohibit guns from being carried in their establishments -- and so far, Peet's Coffee & Tea and California Pizza Kitchen have heeded customer concerns and barred open carrying. 

But Starbucks is refusing to prohibit the open carrying of firearms in its stores, despite protests from loyal customers. 

The practice of packing heat in places like Starbucks is intimidating and could be potentially dangerous to our families and communities -- and it must be stopped at Starbucks.

It's everyone's right to be able to sit in a restaurant or coffee shop with their families without intimidation or fear of guns, either concealed or openly carried. Under the law, Starbucks has the right to adopt a gun-free policy, with an exception for uniformed police officers. Such a policy can easily be implemented in most cases by putting up signs at store entrances.

It is critical that we tell Starbucks to bar guns in its stores. These individuals who have been carrying guns into Starbucks have all the firepower of a SWAT team, and none of the law enforcement training.

Can you hear the thunder?



I just finished watching HBO's critically-acclaimed, however, short-lived series Deadwood, and wanted to f**king write a little f**king blurb about it.

You see, that's a joke. Reason being, Deadwood's excessive use of profanity is somewhat legendary. Don't believe me? Let's just say, if you were playing a drinking game based on the work f**k, well, you'd be dead from alcohol poisoning before the end of one episode. For more info, click here.

So, if you haven't seen the show and are debating it, here's a few things to know about Deadwood.

  • It's fictionalized, non-fiction.
  • Ian Mcshane is absolutely incredible.
  • Al Swearengen rivals early Jack Bauer as my favorite television character of all time.
  • You will need subtitles.
  • If you are offended by the words f**k, c**ksucker, and c**t - then stay away.
  • If you like the show Major Dad, then this may ruin it for you.
  • Timothy Olymphant is great in this, as oppose to everything thing else I've seen him in.
  • John Hawkes is great, as always.
  • There is a cast member of 'Facts of Life' featured on the show.
  • This show features the greatest, most brutal and intense fight scene I've ever seen in film and tv.
  • The show ended prematurely, however, I was not disappointed.
  • This is not a western.
  • The show often feels like a stage play, which is pretty cool.
  • The ensemble cast is brilliant.
  • Hope you like you some Powers Boothe.
and finally,
  • Deadwood, isn't something 'she said.'
