I can't help but think that a co-marketing Jim Beam and Starbucks is simply a bad, bad idea. Idiots!! Kids, enjoy your hot chocolate while Daddy gets his hard liquor, yum!!! How about a REAL egg nog latte next winter?

Of course, many people don't realize Starbucks already appeared in liquor form before -- Red Hook used to (or still does) have a specialty brew called Espresso Stout. I tried it once -- interesting, but I'd rather keep my java and brews separate, thanks.

<<A mutual fund company that invests only in businesses it deems socially responsible has dropped Starbucks Corp., citing the coffee giant's launch of a java liqueur with whiskey maker Jim Beam>>

The GOOD news is, SBUX is now eligible to be purchased by the Vice Fund....<G>
