EVENING COFFEE: Gay Rights and the Be Nice Controversy

March 12th, 2009 5:13 pm · 0 comments

Sittin’ at Prince Street Cafe right now sippin’ a cup of the Prince Street Blend, an excellent full-bodied dark roast that combines beans from “all Arabica” regions. Arabica beans are considered the best kind of coffee bean because it grows in humid areas which get cold at night (like Central American mountains) and has a clearly defined rainy season, which tend to develop the bean’s excellent flavor. Frankly, Prince St. Cafe’s blend is the best dark roast I’ve tasted in a long time. Smokey but not overwhelming.

So what’s out there in the political world? This unfortunately has to be an abbreviated version of “Evening Coffee” because I have to run to the next thing on the schedule.

Looks like Democratic state Rep. Dan Frankel’s bill to add sexual orientation to Pennsylvania’s anti-discriminatory laws passed a major committee test and could be headed to a House vote shortly.

Gov. Ed Rendell has set his sights on the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board’s new $170,000 program to train their workers to be nice, asking for an investigation into any improprieties. Story by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is here.

More later tonight. Enjoy your coffee.
