      <![CDATA[Hey, Ali, nice backpedaling.  But I figure you're first reaction was the true one. You just don't want to lose business. I also figure you donate to GOP candidates and other like-minded asshole causes. So nice try but I have no confidence that if I spend my money at your coffee house that it won't go to teabagger causes.
