Crushing Logic Dept.

Nicholas Kristof, writing in the December 13 New York Times about changes in China:
In a city in Manchuria, I stopped in a small restaurant and ordered a cup of coffee. The waiter asked whether I wanted Nescafe, Maxim coffee, Swiss coffee, Brazilian coffee, Blue Mountain coffee, mountain-grown coffee, mocha coffee, iced coffee or Italian cappuccino. I can't help feeling that when people get multiple choices in ordering a cup of coffee, it's only a matter of time before they demand choices in national politics.
Absolutely. A good cup of Joe is always a harbinger of freedom.

It's just like those old commercials for was it Gulf Oil or Shell Oil? "I don't know gasoline, but I do know deck shoes. And if they make good deck shoes, it stands to reason they make good gasoline."
