Paris, Cuba en Miami
I love this. These delivery guys are all over my building in the morning, with steaming cups of cafe con leche, and aromatic Cuban toast (a loaf of water bread. split along its length, loaded with a dizzying amount of butter or oleo, then toasted flat in an aluminum foil-lined press).But, if it's a Cuban cafe, and believe me, it is... why is their logo the Eiffel Tower, and the name of the place the Paris Cafe?

This reminds me of something… I got it in Sept. and have been looking into validity ever since…maybe you can help me with it? And about the post…I love morning smells of CubanoCafe! etc. Especially black beans and rice. And since they call it Paris Cafe, perhaps a question could help find out…may be an interesting story lurking here.

Sistergirlfriendgirl, I am sorry to have to tell you that that list is 100% true and accurate. All of those ass-hats are sending kids off to die for the same kind of bogus reason that our friends went to Nam. Not that they would actually go their own selves. Or send their kids. Check out how many Republicans have children in the military. ZEE-ROW. Punks. Here’s the website with the list: Chickenhawks
