Big List of Evil Organizations

, , , ...

1. Starbucks
2. Microsoft
3. WalMart
4. The Gap Corporation (including The Gap, Old Navy and Banana Republic-- I suppose they think the last name is supposed to be funny)
5. AT&T
6. Whole Foods (abominable labor practices under the pretext of being "cool")
7. Nike
8. GATT (General Agreement on Trade & Tariffs), which effectively negates the sovereignty of Nations (with their annoying labor, quality & environmental regulations) and allows nations to be sued for enforcing those regulations on other nations which choose to ignore socially/environmentally/etc. conscious manufacturing practices
9. Wells Fargo (who however, because of their entirely ruthless banking practices, will undoubtedly turn out to be the "Last Bank Standing")
10. Oil companies in general: Exxon, Chevron,
11. De Beers (blood diamond trade)
12. Halliburton - a.) After Democrats take control of Congress in January, 2007 (after sweeping into office in the November, 2006 elections on the failure of (primarily) ex-Halliburton CEO Dick Cheney's disasterous policy decision to invade Iraq, and handing nearly trillions of dollars of no-bid contrats to his old company, those patriotic souls at Halliburton turn tail and move their base of operations out of the US, to their welcoming tax haven (heaven) of United Arab Emirates in Dubai.

b.) selling nukes to Iran;


this list to grow as I add (probably perpetually) to the list

Starbucks are frauds too

So, anyway... I get up around 8:30 every morning, get dressed and slog down to the local coffee shop / "bookstore" (really a woefully understocked "fambly" bookstore--more crap than books), and go online (they do have internet), but their internet was down, and the kids behind the counter were apparently too stupid to reset the modem (they're nice, though, so I didn't sweat them). I drank my grossly overpriced cup of coffee and then headed for the dreaded Starbucks, located right across the parking lot.

Starbucks announced deveral months ago that they were going to free wireless (as opposed to the horribly overpriced T-Mobile service they had before. Anyway, they insisted it was free-- you just had to purchase a $25 Starbucks card, and you could use the AT&T wireless for "free" for up to TWO HOURS a DAY!!!

What a bunch of greedy motherf@#*%g! scumbags!

Yeah, like we really needed MORE reasons to hate Starbucks...

I've hated them since they started displacing long-standing family-owned neighborhood coffee shops, some dating back to the 1950s. One time I waited in line behind a bunch of scrofulous queebs ordering their "double-decaf" non-fat soymilk, caramel crappiacinos just to order a small caffee (what they refer to as a "tall"). I was told-- and I quote:

"We don't have coffee today." Apparently their coffee-maker was broken, and these assholes didn't even have a back-up.

Of course, I'm probably being too harsh & unfair with them.

I mean-- they're not really a coffee shop...

Oh Lord, lead me not into huge repositories of Monty Python videos. I may never emerge alive again!



(I also watched the entire "Cheese Shop" sketch. It reminds me of the time I went into a Starbucks, South of Market in San Francisco, and after waiting patiently in line-- while people ordered their double-decaf, no-fat-soy-milk-amaretto Frappianomachichino-whatchamacallits-- and finally ordered my small (In Starbuckian parlance: Tall) coffee-- whereupon I was told-- and I quote-- "we don't have any coffee today." (the coffeemaker was out of service))
