A Crazy Idea Regarding the Obama Administration and Security

So my buddy Steve brought me a small sample of
Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee
today. Evidently a co-worker was brewing some for himself and offered a
taste. I now realize this was an act of cruelty.

<deep breath>

I am prone to hyperbole, so I’ll try and restrain myself…

This coffee makes me want to be a better man.

Hmm, too much hyperbole-bell.

Seriously, this is not just “better” coffee. It’s not just “good” where
other coffee is “ok”. No, this coffee is “euphoric”, while other coffee is
“meh”. There’s that much of a difference. And it’s not some subtle
distinction that you can only grasp after years of study; you take a sip and
you just know it’s the best coffee you’ve ever tasted. Period. That’s
with no additives whatsoever.

This is coming from a novice coffee enthusiast, not an expert, mind you, but
that might even support my claim. It’s the mildness and lack of bitterness
that the coffee is known for. Here’s what Wikipedia says about it, which
seems to be the consensus after some cursory research:

Supposedly there is only one coffee that’s better, called
Kopi Luwak, which is made by having lemurs eat the coffee cherries and then poop out
the seeds (the coffee beans).

That’s a bit extreme for me at this point, so I think I’ll stick with my
plans for freshly ground, french-pressed Jamaican Blue Mountain (I just
installed a water filter at home for this). And at somewhere around $35/lb I
think the Jamaican stuff is expensive enough. I think I’ll have to keep the
Blue Mountain on hand for my weekly or bi-weekly treat, as it’s too
expensive for a daily brew.

Anyway, if you haven’t tried this stuff, I highly suggest it. It’ll change
your life. ::
