la tete penchante apres leur besogne, qui ne savent ny Aristote ny Caton, ny exemple, ni precepte: de ceux la tire Nature tous les jours des effets de constance et de patience, plus purs et plus roides que ne sont ceux que nous etudions si curieusement en l’ecole.”

I think it depends on how each person defines being “over-caffeinated.” A French person could easily say we Americans were equally over-caffeinated, even if some of us only have one small cup of coffee each day. Or, if not over-caffeinated, then over-….something else. :-)

These stories are getting more ridiculous by the day. We shouldn’t let word of this get out; some “genius” in D.C. will begin targeting Starbuck’s coffee next. I know; it’s highly unlikely, but then again, I never thought one could get arrested for “serial snacking” either until JT included that little gem in his “The Criminalization of America” column. Some of these clowns will stop at nothing to get a “criminal” case to court.
