Dairy Queen Disappoints

Disappointment 1: Dairy Queen chicken bacon ranch artisan style sandwich

"The chicken is really tough and chewy and kind of rubbery" Jason's verdict: 5 out of 10.

Wow! Very disappointing. Sounded like it would be a good sandwich. Too bad. Maybe it was just an anomaly, an old batch of chicken or something. Still, I'd be reluctant to try it now.

Disappointment 2: Dairy Queen buffalo chicken snack melt

Jason's verdict: Taste 9 out of 10, value 4 out of 10.

Well, at least this was better than the sandwich, but I agree, the price is too high for what you get. I guess the 5 buck lunch deals seem okay, though. I haven't been to Dairy Queen in a long time. We always used to go for the ice cream anyway.

Agree or Disagree? #1 - Quotes: "Conservative Taste"

Conservative taste is taste. We stand for standards: melody in music, perspective in drawing and painting, soaring & sublime beauty sculpted in stone for architecture, plot and theme in storytelling, and so on.

We have the Saint John’s Passion by Bach, the paintings of Bouguereau, the Cathedral of Notre Dame, and the Lord of the Rings by Tolkien.

Morlockery is untaste. They stand for scrawling graffiti on standards and urinating and vomiting and excreting on them. They stand for atonal cacophony in music, bleary visual mess in drawing and painting, inhuman blocks of concrete and featureless steel in architecture, dreary incoherent psychopathy in the written word.

They have the music of Scriabin, the spastic scrawls of Picasso, the soul-crushing ulginess of Corbusier, and Ulysses by James Joyce. - John C. Wright

The Overrated Hume and the Argument from Design

Oh well, David Hume's reputation as a philosopher is so bloated and overrated anyway...

Cleanthes would wonder, in turn, why it's valid to criticize theological concepts as ad hoc, while it's simultaneously permissible to postulate the existence of universes whose existence is entirely unproven and which may be forever untestable. He'd also wonder why the order in the universe is such a pressing scientific problem as to justify postulating a vast number of alternate universes but not to justify postulating an intelligent designer.-David Hume and the Argument from Design

Capitalism Doesn't Work If You Don't Have It

Well, we have a kind of capitalism, but not truly free market capitalism. Though Schiff here calls the current system "croynism", "coporatism", fascism".

Caitlyn Horse

Caitlyn Horse (formerly Bruce Cat): "All my life, I've been chasing mice, meowing, licking my fur, when I knew my real desire was to run in the Kentucky derby, wear shoes, eat oats and hay and sleep standing up (I've been practicing that last one). I'm really a horse, not a cat, you see."

Weep it and Read

Ann Coulter is a withered old hag who uses shock value to sell books. Look at her face. What is she, 40? And her hair? Come on. Are we supposed to take this “woman” seriously? Her latest incarnation of Mein Kampf says Adios, America on the front but should really be called Mexicans Are Human Garbage. I haven’t read it yet but the claims she makes in the book are as disgusting as they are outrageous. It all came out on a recent appearance of Fusion with Jorge (pronounced “Hor-jay”) Ramos. As the title implies, his show brings together all kinds of different cultures into a fun plate of multiculturalism that’s like fusion cuisine for the brain. (If you don’t believe diversity is our strength, check out all the cool restaurants in New York City. You can be served by a Somalian one day, a Turk the next, and a Glaswegian in between the two.)-¡Adios, Ann Coulter!
