Cup Of Joe

Seems to be rather timely, what with the IRS, AP News and Benghazi things going on. There have been a few individuals that have really been put through the wringer not only by the IRS but other branches of the government as well. Nothing like abusing the power you've been entrusted with, now is there?

And now for something completely different:

My first choice of beverage whilst computing is normally a cup of coffee, or as it is often referred to, a cup of Joe. Last Saturday's Wall Street Journal had a book review on the life of Josephus Daniels who was at one time the Secretary of the Navy. Daniels "ordered alcohol banned from naval vessels, yards and stations. The offered substitute - a cup of coffee- became disparagingly known as a cup of Josephus Daniels, and as legend has it, this was soon shortened to a cup of Joe." Probably will never get around to reading the book but at least now I know the origin of something that I say on an almost daily basis.
