AOL Food review: McDonalds Mushroom Swiss burger is evil between a bun

AOL Food lays the slamdangle down on McDonald’s Third Pounder Angus Mushroom and Swiss today.

Grade: F
Our food editor’s husband proclaimed that he’d just had the worst burger in all the land, so naturally, we had no choice but to sample for ourselves. Turns out he was wrong. It was in fact the absolute, most extremely, terribly, awfully horrible burger in the known universe.

The industrial mushrooms had the flavor and mouth appeal of a sneaker insole, while earwaxen Swiss cheese and globbed-on mayo formed a thick slick which was, truth be told, necessary in order to moisten the throat sufficiently to swallow the spongy gray mass that was being hawked as an Angus patty.

Bad things happen when McD’s tries to get schmancy, and they beefed this one badly.

I don’t eat no mushrooms on no burgers and swiss doesn’t go on meat (or, eh, anything), so I’ve never tried it, but dang…

You’re doing it wrong: 21% of self-proclaimed atheists in US believe in a higher power

The study detailed Americans’ deep and broad religiosity, finding that 92 percent believe in God or a universal spirit — including one in five of those who call themselves atheists. More than half of Americans polled pray at least once a day.

But Americans aren’t rigid about their beliefs. Most of those studied — even many of the most religiously conservative — have a remarkably nonexclusive attitude toward other faiths. Seventy percent of those affiliated with a religion believe that many religions can lead to eternal salvation. And only about one-quarter of those surveyed believe there is only one way to interpret their religion’s teachings.

Moveon’s ridiculous “you can’t have him” Campaign ad

John McCain is SUCH a vulnerable candidate ripe for such a plethora of targeting this season – which is why Its so stupid for so many campaign operatives to keep pounding this smear about the “100 year war”. I mean jee-zuuuuus. enough already. It’s so easy to expose as a smear. Quit hurting yourselves by using it!

Quick background on that for those of you that are unaware: at a townhall meeting, McCain answered a question by saying he was okay with us literally being in Iraq (not fighting a war like we are now) for a long ass time just like we still have bases in Japan and Germany. Watch the video here. Soon after he snagged the nomination, a popular attack line has been to scare people into thinking he wants to keep blowing shit up for 100 years (they do this obviously by failing to mention the part where he said “as long as they’re not being killed or injured” – paraphrase).

And now MoveOn.org comes out with this…

You might be surprised to know that I was the first one casted in this part, but they cut me out for this girl and the “cuter” kid…
