Britons drink Poop for $100

Britons drink poop(DUNG) for $100, well they actually pay $100 dollars per cup to drink poop.
"Britons are being encouraged to spend £50 -- about $100 -- for a cup of
coffee that is made from animal dung.The barista says Caffe Raro is a complex and costly blend of coffee that includes rare Jamaican Blue Mountain and Kopi Luwak beans. What makes this beverage truly unique is the fact that Kopi Luwak beans come from the droppings of civets, a cat-like animal. The Associated Press described the process back in 2004: Civets live in the foliage of plantations across Southeast Asia. These fussy foragers pick the best and ripest coffee berries. Enzymes in their digestive system break down the flesh of the fruit before the animals expel the bean. Workers collect beans from the plantation floor, wash away the dung and roast them to produce a unique drink that devotees might say is good to the last dropping I am not quite sure what is worth, my dog will make you guys some coffee beans for alot less than $100 dollars. "(USA TODAY )

I don't know sounds like a scam, I am sure i can find my German Shepard some coffee beans from Starbucks. Let him ingest the beans, and i will let the Britons take the beans if they clean up the residual effects of feeding a dog. Sheesh, just gross.

I am not eating and defiantly not drinking anything that comes out of the CIVET, it looks like a mix between a raccoon and a marsupial


Kopi Luwak
, is the name of the coffee. If you would like to see a picture of the beans in their natural form, which I will abstain from posting. Click on the link and the picture will be to your right. Who was the first person to try this? LINK

Riot Alert: Haiti;Wyclef for President

Haiti is one of the poorest countries if not the poorest county in the world is back in the news. Political turmoil has been part of the status quo since the 50's, but not until recently has this tipping point finally been reached due to the rising cost of living and a food shortage. Rene Preval, the raining emperor/president of Haiti decided to stand up and make a statement for his country.
"To those who are stirring up violence, I order you to stop because it is not going to solve the problem," Rene Preval

Way to be proactive Captain Obvious. Riots rarely stop any problem, but they are the voice of the forgotten. It is obvious that the people in HAITI need HOPE and food. In a country with the land size that is smaller land size than Maryland and a population of 8 million plus. Captain obvious needs a better plan then telling the people of the great country to stop. BBC reports on his address to citizens earlier today.

Food prices, which have risen 40 percent on average globally since mid-2007, are causing unrest around the world. But they pose a particular threat to democracy in Haiti, where most people live on less than US$2 (euro1.27) a day.

Preval acknowledged that in his address, saying Haiti's predicament comes partly from its dependence on imported rice that has weakened national production.

But it was unclear whether the address would appease the rioters, who are demanding Preval's resignation for failing for tame the rising prices. (AP)

In a country with no major exports and not enough natural resources or agricultural resources to provide adequate food for the population. What in the hell are you doing, if the people and Haiti are starving.

I hope I am wrong but this might be another coup d'etat to add to Haiti's volatile yet rich history.
Wyclef for President, he isnt elected and he cares. Vote for Haiti's favorite Son.
