Morning Joe
Here’s the deal, Sansabelt Sibilia. Coffee’s not only good for that wake-me-the hell-up jolt—it’s also good for your health, according to the American Society for Nutrition.
Scientists say coffee offers long-term health benefits. Drink it and you'll lower your risk of Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, heart failure, certain types of cancer, and depression. Hey, way to go Mr. Coffee Joe DiMaggio. Tea and decaf don’t have those benefits, Baboon Sheehan. They said you can have five or more cups a day. Good news for me, since I hit at least five cups a day out of a classic diner mug.
Want to live even longer? Throw a shot of Jameson in the cup.
I didn’t drink coffee until I was about 13 and was an election poll worker for former Governor Endicott “Chub” Peabody—and later for Teddy Kennedy. Those early November mornings were goddamn cold, and nothing hit the spot like some hot coffee. And today, in the crazy ad game, you gotta drink a lotta that stuff.
Have a happy-go-lucky Fourth of July.
Keep your dukes up.
