The fast-food world has proof positive that
size matters: a foot-long cheeseburger.
A cheeseburger sold as a foot-long sandwich, with
three burgers and three cheese slices, is being tested at 50 Carl's Jr. restaurants in
Southern California and 50 Hardee's units in Indiana. That's the
same chain that introduced the world to the 1,400-calorie Monster Burger
and the Monster Breakfast Sandwich, with 47 grams of fat.
The move comes at a time fast-food chains are
focused on concocting more items intriguingly low in price but large in
size. This summer, there's serious foot-long-on-the-cheap mania.
The Carl's foot-long fetches $4 without lettuce
and tomatoes, $4.50 with.

Food and health Nazis aside, what is the generally accepted political position of Rollins; Liberal shill or batshit crazy Libertarian? I've was a huge Black Flag fan for years, but since he's been doing his own thing, I've not been much in tune with the scene to figure him out these days. Help me out here folks.
ReplyDeleteWho?
ReplyDeleteWho? Is Henry Rollins of Black Flag. My son wanted a tattoo of their symbol when he was in high school.
ReplyDeleteRollins also hosted Iconoclast on IFC, where his opinions were shared. He's LIBERAL MAX,imo.
p.s. That's who that pic is of.
ReplyDeleteThat is a picture of Henry Rollins, former lead singer of Black Flag ('80s DC punk band) isn't it?
ReplyDeleteThe reason I ask is because even though he thought Bush and Reagan were anti-christ figures, he had also been equally critical of democrats as well. Although I do agree that if he is Libertarian, he's definitely to the left of that spectrum.
ReplyDeleteHe,Henry Rollins, played a pretty good Aryan biker on FX's Sons of Anarchy too.
ReplyDeleteMoFiZiX Gr4FiX, JR and I went to see him in Olympia a couple years ago. I love this man but I was so disappointed that night. It's one thing to be of an opposing position on things...he can be so brilliant even if I disagree....but he was so simpleton that night I was kind of embarassed. JR said he was just pandering to the Lympians which was kind of worse.
ReplyDeleteHe sounded like one of them and it's just not how I thought of him before then at all.
Sigh......
Phuckin' shame :( Years ago, he was all about preaching rebellion against the system in general. Granted, it was the years of ignorant anti-Reagan punk rhetoric, but I've heard Rollins rail against asshat Democrat just as viciously. His A-political messages and the emotion he put into his performances were incredible. Black Flag and the Bad Brains set DC on fire. They were the ones that gave birth to east coast hardcore. Sadly, it appears Rollins fell victim to the one thing he preached against for years... selling out to the corporate machine. Guess that pretty much makes him a hypocrite, now doesn't it?
