According to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, which is a weird name for a paper (I'm gonna intelligence you), up to 80 percent of the healthy antioxidants in green tea lose their power in stored tea or in your intestine and don't get absorbed at all. Sadness! How to combat this? Brew fresh tea and add lemon. According to "researchers" (I would feel more intelligenced, Seattle P-I, if you told me which researchers) a 50-50 citrus/tea mix will best preserve the antioxidants in green tea. Lemon works best, followed by orange. Yum!

The Perfect Cup of Green Tea

Oregon Church Fights to Drink Hallucinogenic Tea
The Justice Department classifies hoasca as a banned substance, but a federal judge is considering whether the church should be allowed to use the tea in its services through the religious freedom restoration act. For example, some Native American tribes are allowed to use peyote (a cactus with similar properties) as part of their ceremonies.
I'm not sure how I feel about hallucinogenic tea. What if these believers saw a vision of God telling them to kill somebody? Religious folks are crazy enough without visions. I do like the possibilities for a marketing campaign, though: "Drink tea. See God."

Right-Wingers Co-op Tea
Anyway, it seems to me a very minimal tea connection, and a poor excuse to tie tea to conservatism! I don't have an incredibly strong view on the stimulus package myself, but I am sure that tax cuts are not going to save our economy. Personally, I think we should limit all salaries to one million a year. You can't POSSIBLY need more than that, let's be serious.
