1. Ellen Degeneres must have read my blog post as she is also referring to #CupGate2015.

Funny, Ellen Degeneres must have read my blog post as she is also referring to #CupGate2015. I claim copyright!

2. Do you use paper cups to drink coffee? Do you recycle them?

3. the far-right is so stupid the comedy practically writes itself.

Although a part of me is always a little sad at that much dumb.

5. The #EasyAccessStupid age. The new hashtags follow every stupid step and lead us to it too.

[center]Interesting to observe the evolution of hashtags on this one. Tags are such a great search/filter tool, instant access to all the posts planet wide as events unfold and as wacky memes propagate. Twitter is becoming more a visual medium--you want your tweet read, you need a graphic--enriching the experience.

I got back from a weekend with friends to find parts of the American populace worked up into a hazelnut froth over a….coffee cup. That’s right. Not guns or abortion or marriage equality. Not Planned Parenthood or Obama’s birth certificate or even the U.N.’s secret peacekeeping mission in Texas.

A coffee cup.

Now, I’m worthy of some pretty spectacular mental gymnastics when I’m stretching to prove a point. I have, on more than 743 occasions, jumped to a conclusion. But…a coffee cup??

Did Susie Q. Public go into her local Starbucks, order her usual venti dodecahedron mocha latte latte chocolat-é with extra skim froth milk and walk out with her red cup convinced Starbucks had declared a war on Christmas with a….cup?

Did Joe Q. Plumber pop in for a quick grande double shot and uncover the Great Starbucks Christmas Conspiracy?

Is there some Da Vinci code type thing going on ......
