I find the latte bit more puzzling, because everybody. Drinks them. Hell, I've even come across the term " latteconomizing. Let's say it together kids!

A Blessed, Warm Fog: "An Eye for an Eyelash"
http://blessedfog.blogspot.com/2009/01/eye-for-eyelash.html
A Blessed, Warm Fog. Friday, January 9, 2009. An Eye for an Eyelash". America and the EU shamelessly joined Israel in ostracising and demonising the Hamas government and in trying to bring it down by withholding tax revenues and foreign aid.

http://blessedfog.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
A Blessed, Warm Fog. Friday, December 5, 2008. What I Want for Christmas. Thinking about this made me a little sad, seeing as all my wishes have become undeniably adult and domestic: kitchen things, expensive sheets, liquor. Which takes me back to simpler times:. I don't recall my brothers and I ever having the "Homeless Guy and Mustachioed. So, this is my wish: That this still exists, and that someone in the world gets it for Christmas (or other winter holiday). Posted by Robyn B.

Do they sensationalize stories to achieve top circulation and profit, or cautiously evaluate the validity and source of released information?
