<snip> Starbucks Chief Executive Officer Jim Donald said during a Capitol Hill press conference today in the office of U.S. Rep. Norm Dicks that his company would provide 50,000 pounds of free, whole-bean coffee that will be brewed and distributed by Red Cross workers to troops serving in Kuwait, Afghanistan and Iraq.

The Starbucks-Red Cross coffee distribution partnership will boost military morale, McCurry predicted, while bringing "a little bit of home to the troops."

Good for you, Starbucks.

2. And I'll bet KBR charged the gubmint for coffee

at the same time without having to serve any because of the Starbucks free coffee.

3. Did Halliburton

charge five million to deliver it?

4. LOL!

And knowing those pigs, they'll probably take all the Starbucks coffee and replace it with Foldgers before it gets to the troops.
