The kettle is a remnant from
The kettle is a remnant from way back in the day, it has nothing to do with Starbucks.
The Oriental Tea Company's kettle, actually
The kettle has been around since 1873, to be exact, and it actually has a fairly cool history. You can read about it here.

Because Boston, The Universal Hub, is the cradle of Liberty, and because there is a fight in the Senate over consequences for wiretapping Americans without a warrant, I'd like to ask Adam G to consider a post on the topic, perhaps one that references the position of our Senators and Congressmen.
