Coffee and... Al Franken?

Starbucks Cup

Wow, I couldn't believe this one. So I go to heat up the remainer of my Grande, Extra Caramel, Carmel Macchiato, and I notice this writing on my cup that's never been there before. I thought 'Wow cool, kinda like the Chipotle cups that tell a story about the company...well not quite after I took a closer look. It's a quote by Al Franken! Sure there's a disclaimer at the bottom of the cup saying that it's not necessarily the opinion of Starbucks...but who's to say it isn't? Of all the people in the world, why did they have to give Al Franken the platform? Anyway, here is the link to see more "The Way I See It"
