They’ll Be Coming For You

Coworkers, friends and family often look at me very askance when I call out coffee drinkers as druggies. Well, here you go

…on a popular pro-drug Web site, a visitor reported taking seven No Doz tablets, or 1,400 milligrams of caffeine, and compared the effects to a bad trip on LSD.
Then, like many who get carried away with the world’s most popular drug, the person wondered: “Can caffeine really do this?”
It can. And abuse of the legal stimulant is an emerging problem among young people, according to Northwestern University researchers, who recently analyzed three years’ worth of cases reported to the Illinois Poison Center.
Symptoms include everything from nausea, vomiting and a racing heart to hallucinations, panic attacks, chest pains and trips to the emergency room.

How long before the swat teams are hitting your breakfast nook and narcs are lurking in the corners of Starbucks?

A Blog to Support and A Blog to Bury

I’ve been reading PoliBlog for a few years now and generally find Steven Taylor’s posts to be interesting and thought provoking.
Apparently Verizon is attempting to steal the name. (Update here) I will not read or link* to the Verizon site until they change the name and maybe not even then.
Whether you agree with Steven’s view’s or not I urge you to give him a link: google bomb his site, PoliBlog, to assure that he always ranks well above the folks stealing his name.*
Steven’s site will continue to be the only PoliBlog that I read.
*Taylor has not encouraged any google bombing. However, it seems reasonable to me to come up with bomb material for Verizon that might become as effective as miserable failure. With the bomb material I will break my no link policy.
