Support your local grower

From It's all about Coffee - Lingle to press White House to use local Hawaiian coffee
"As Gov. Linda Lingle makes her rounds in Washington next week, a small but significant item on her agenda is to persuade the White House to serve only Hawai'i-grown coffee to its guests." "Lingle, who arrived in the capital yesterday, is toting a basket with a selection of coffee grown on the Big Island, O'ahu, Moloka'i, Maui and Kaua'i along with a letter 'suggesting this would be a nice thing to do since we're the only state in the union that grows coffee commercially,' said Steve Bretschneider, chief marketing officer for the state Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism."
Two things. One, I wish someone would show up at my house toting a basket of coffee. Two, it makes perfect sense to me to support U.S. business, especially coffee producers. It would definitely make this administration more productive (I'd drink tons more coffee if it was Hawaiian!).
