At my regular Starbucks, they gave away $600 worth of all coffees yesterday to those who said they voted. (I think Starbucks should sign on to the purple finger voter verification plan.) At $1.65 a pop, that’s about 364 voters.

They were, as of 8:30 a.m., sold out of all newspapers. I enjoyed asking, “hey, did something happen yesterday that people want to read about?”
