This is a little unusual for the Fast Food Critic for three reasons: 1. This feature has been benched for about a month so welcome back everyone! 2. We are covering a fast food item that’s actually somewhat healthy, 3. In keeping with the Obama week theme, I sort of grasp at straws to tie…

Down & Out in Bumblefuck: Defending Obama Week
Not so much an actual item that relates to rural people (this is tornado season so in an attempt to keep this from turning into the weather channel, this feature might be kind of scarce in coming weeks), as it is an announcement about this week’s features. Sunday officially kicked off “Defending Obama Week,” in response…
Monday Morning Movie Review: Your Highness
This could be a eulogy as much as a review as Your Highness died this past weekend, the same it was born on. The film opened in 6th place with more people going to see the sure-to-be-shitty Arthur, giving Russell Brand (also voice star of Hop) the top two films this past weekend. The apocalypse…
Monday Morning Movie Review: Source Code
The biggest problem I have with Source Code isn’t even in the movie. It’s in the other movie reviews I read for it that use this movie to launch an attack on Inception, saying both movies are convoluted and make no sense when you really think about them. As a tired defender of Inception, this…
Monday Morning Movie Review: Paul
Does anyone care about this movie anymore? I watched this thing…I guess it was almost a month ago, and at this point I’ve almost completely forgotten it. That’s too bad because I was going to give Paul a pretty good review, but now realize maybe it deserves less than that. What Works: Seth Rogen as…
Mom Jokes: Next Season on Survivor
Have you heard about the next planned “Survivor” show? Three businessmen and three businesswomen will be dropped in an elementary school classroom for 1 school year. Each business person will be provided with a copy of his/her school district’s curriculum, and a class of 20-25 students. Each class will have a minimum of five learning-disabled…
Sunday’s Sermons: Conservatives See President Black Panther, I see President Huxtable
“I don’t hate Obama because he’s black…” So starts almost every argument by people that don’t like Obama before leading to the second half of that sentence which proves they almost definitely hate him because he’s black “…I hate him because he’s a Muslim.” Not true. “…I hate him because he’s not born in the…
Working Class Economist: Why Liberals Need to Get Better at Math
It happens at least a handful of times every week: I talk Math and nobody listens. By Math, I mean what politics really boils down to: fundraising, economic clashes, working class versus rich, unions versus corporations, simplified to the extreme: money. The political feud between Democrats and Republicans isn’t some lofty war of morals like…
Now What? (Life Post Grad): Which Social Networking Site is Right for You?
Since today I am putting more of a marketing push behind Working Class Economist’s feature, and it has been scientifically proven my facebook friends can only handle one serious item a day—if that—before going to something lighter or logging off completely, I am going to evaluate the different social networking sites for you and anything…
Red State Vs. Blue State: Alabama Liberal Vs. a Black Female Conservative
Today I debate probably the oddest of all political curiosities: a black female conservative. They do exist, and are actually shockingly numerous in the Southeast, but still, if someone gets to debate a unicorn (and really somebody voting conservative when true conservatives would probably rather that person not be allowed to vote makes about as…
Monday Morning Movie Reviewer: Sucker Punch, the Ambitious Failure
Today on the site I bring you no less than 5 new movie reviews—and the only reason it’s not seven is I didn’t have enough time to write a review for Paul and Source Code—so I’m pretty sure that if you’re not interested in this movie review there’s something down below it you might like….
Movie Review: Battle L.A., the Unambitious Success
If there is a place in flop hell for ambitious failures then unfortunately there is also a place in box office heaven for unambitious success. Battle L.A., a reasonable hit, is proof positive of that even though there isn’t a thing new to this you haven’t seen a hundred times before. Haunted Military Hero Who…
Movie Review: The Lincoln Lawyer, the Lazy Winner
From the opening credits with a smooth Motown song playing as a Lincoln glides around the streets of LA, you can tell The Lincoln Lawyer isn’t going to reach for success, strive for ambition, unsettle you in any way, or really challenge your thinking on anything. However, it is also a pretty good movie. It’s…
