Philz Dedicates New Coffee Blend to SF's Outlaw Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi

Sheriff Ross “Mugshot” Mirkirami is finally getting the recognition that he deserves, and it's not in the form of an impeachment hearing all about him either.  VC-funded startup Philz Coffee has just dedicated their latest brew to the Sheriff's Department.

Called “Ten-Eight,” the police code for “in service,” we're told the blend packs a mean punch when taken straight.  And for the real Ross special, you order two 10-8s, thus making a 10-16 — the code for “domestic disturbance.”

UPDATE: Phil writes us denying this was specifically named after Mirkirami, telling us the blend was made with “no one particular person in mind.”

yum, manufacturing cream.

This guy is an embarrassment, and yet a big chunk of voters in this town want to make him Mayor. Way to go, San Francisco.

Cite a single pixel of evidence to back up that bullshit claim.

I think the police photograph of Sheriff Mirkarimi at the time of his arrest and booking speaks for itself.

Sure.

But what is doesn’t speak for is “half the voters in this town.”

He’d make a great mayor, but I don’t think he is electable. No chance in hell.
