… I have once again fallen off the soda wagon. It’s been happening for a while, and now I am admitting it – I am back on the Coke. Cherry Coke, Vanilla Coke, straight Coke … you name it, I’m drinking it.

Except Diet Coke. The sweetener they use (aspartame – blech!) leaves a nasty little aftertaste in my mouth.

And, don’t believe the Coke ads about Coke Zero tasting just like regular Coke – it doesn’t. It actually tastes like an unholy blend of Diet Coke and [shudder] New Coke. Good grief, do you remember that taste? It’s been pretty much seered into my memory from when they were saying that the New Coke would be replacing the Classic Coke.

Yeah, that didn’t work out too well.

In other news – the US has hit it’s debt ceiling. There have been comparisons (for those of us too dumb to know what they mean (like a certain 52% of the voting public)) to your credit card spending limits. Now, the administration is worried about not having enough money to finish bankrupting the country.

Here’s an idea – quit spending money you don’t have, you new-coke-personified-as-a-president.

Chat ya later…
