Delightful. I don't know about you, but I feel safer already.

QuoteScott MacFarlane, investigative reporter at NBC-4 Washington, discovered through Freedom of Information Act requests, that Department of Homeland Security employees put $30,000 of Starbucks on the cards in 2013. Agency employees spent about $12,000 at one Starbucks in Alameda, Calif., and several of those purchases were for just under the $3,000 "micropurchase" threshold, which means they can avoid scrutiny.

It's really, really nice spending other people's money and not being held accountable.... :-\

I stand by my belief the DHS needs to be shuttered and Americans just accept that there is risk involved with having freedom.

This is *just* Alameda, California. We haven't gotten to Walnut Creek yet!

I can think of many a morning where coffee kept me out of jail.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

 I thought coffee was one of the cheapest ways to keep employees happy?  Then again, this isn't a private company  :)

These guys make enough money to buy their own damn coffee. Hell, besides that most Starbucks will give them the coffee free anyway if they see a badge. Charging it to taxpayers is yet even more of the "let them eat cake" mentality we are seeing in our government today.
