Third, and more fundamental, is the fact that budgetary data are an imperfect indicator of priority. The spending levels of different federal programs do indicate that society (through its government) has decided to allocate more money for one than the other, which can be construed as an indicator of preference, or a measure of priority. Yet some things cost more by nature. Launching a satellite to monitor conditions in the upper atmosphere may be considerably more expensive than a project that involves conducting national field studies of water quality. Their costs may differ by a factor of ten or even 100. This does not necessarily mean that one is 100 times more important than the other.
Fourth, in judging the relations between environmental budgets and statements of environmental goals there is the problem of whose goals are "national goals." In our pluralistic society, there may be numerous conflicting views of what constitutes an appropriate set of national goals for the environment. Indeed, the very existence of the Forum for which this paper has been prepared, is evidence of the lack of consensus on such goals.
Finally, it should be remembered that the federal government is not the only source of funds for environmental programs. State and local governments as well as the private sector expend considerable sums on programs and activities related to the environment. None of these are included in the present analysis. The federal government may choose to spend more or less on a particular activity not because it is more or less important, but because others are already covering it adequately.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is the federal government's flagship agency for environmental regulation, for mitigation and remediation of problems caused by environmental pollution, for environmental monitoring, and for R&D related to these missions. It was formed in 1970 by bringing together units from several different federal departments and agencies, including components of the Department of the Interior and the then-Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. EPA's responsibilities include administration of programs under the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act, the Safe Drinking Water Act, and several other major pieces of environmental legislation. Although most definitions of environmental programs include a considerable number of other federal activities, the level of funding for EPA and trends in the agency's budget are useful indicators of the priority of environmental protection at the federal level.

BBQ in Charleston, Summerville and Clemson, SC
Some friends and I are visiting South Carolina to see friends and watch some basketball, and we're stopping through Charleston, Summerville and Clemson - and we are looking for some good Que! We're pretty new to proper barbecue, and so I'm looking for any advice and recommendations that I can get. If there's anywhere I absolutely need to eat at, Que or not, I would love to hear about it as well.
Momma Brown's in Mt. Pleasant (on Coleman Blvd, heading to Sullivan's Island) has the best BBQ around Charleston -- and it is part of an amazing buffet. There is more wonderful food of that ilk than you can possibly eat.
For a quick BBQ sandwich, Melvin's is tasty (two locations -- James Island and Mt. P).
About an hour outside of Charleston (up I-26 toward Columbia) is perhaps the best BBQ joint in all of SC. It's called Sweatman's. They're only open Fridays and Saturdays, but it's worth the trip. Out in the middle of farmland, pork cooked for hours on end over oak coals, ribs to die for.
Big Dave's BBQ in Clemson is good, and I hear that Annie's in Seneca (7 miles west of Clemson) is good but haven't tried it yet. (Annie's is only open for lunch.)
Just More BBQ (7 miles east of Clemson) sounds promising too. It's in the country and they have live music on Friday and Saturday nights. I really need to check it out!
As a Clemson grad, I can tell you that Just BBQ by the Esso Club near campus is great if it is still open. It is owned by the same family as Just More BBQ in Pendleton but the Clemson location is the original.
In the last year, we have tried South Carolina BBQ at Maurice's and at Melvin's (each on a single occasion). As transplants to NC from the northeast, we have enjoyed BBQ in the past in both the NE and in Asheville. However, we didn't like the BBQ at either Maurice's or Melvin's at all. I don't know if SC BBQ style is an acquired taste or others also don't find their BBQ particularly tasty, so just consider this a report from someone who isn't an expert on SC BBQ.
re: stevesr0
Agreed, Maurice's is pretty much yuck. Haven't had Melvin's, though.
re: stevesr0
SC yellow pork is NOT BBQ. Its pork with mustard. Yuck!!
re: Spreadhead
South Carolina has mustard based BBQ, Vinegar based BBQ, and tomato based BBQ.

On May 17, the main news story plugged on the fronts of the Denver Post and the Rocky Mountain News revolved around a damning report about University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill -- but the papers' presentations were hardly mirror images. The Post printed a straightforward headline -- "Panel on Churchill: Fire or Suspend Him" -- above a large, extremely ineffective photo in which Professor Marianne Wesson, who chaired the committee scrutinizing the controversy-loving firebrand, stares blankly into the distance while holding her hand to her cheek; she seems to be more concerned about a throbbing incisor than alleged academic malfeasance. In contrast, the Rocky chose to feature an unrelated shot of Zion, a heroic yellow lab that had rescued a boy from a river (that's the kind of Zionism everyone can support). For his part, Churchill is seen in a smallish file photo alongside a single, supersized word: "Hammered." Since the Rocky has been hammering Churchill for over a year, this headline appeared downright triumphant. It was as if the paper had shouted, "Woo-hoo! Nailed the bastard!"
Stylistically, these strategies were as dissimilar as they could be. The Post's front page exuded sincerity and good intentions but was cautious and a bit dull, while the Rocky's cover was livelier and less predictable -- and these same descriptions applied to the rest of the papers' Churchill coverage that day. The Post's work was quite measured, with little that was unexpected along the way. The Rocky, meanwhile, juxtaposed sweeping (and unrelenting) Churchill reportage with a Mike Littwin column that claimed the entire matter had been ridiculously overblown -- a de facto criticism of his own paper's actions.
In this case, then, first impressions proved to be correct -- but that's no surprise. With rare exceptions, the front page of each Denver daily provides a very accurate sense of the pages beneath it.
An analysis of all the Post and Rocky covers published between May 6 and May 17 supports this conclusion, even as it reveals plenty about what types of stories the papers' editors think are important, whom they consider their audience to be, and how they believe they can best appeal to those readers, as well as to folks who aren't already on the subscription rolls. Such distinctions matter, since the dailies continue to drive public discussion here, thanks to still-sizable circulation, powerful websites and a multiplicity of media connections; for instance, the Post has a partnership deal with Channel 9, and the Rocky maintains a similar relationship with Channel 4. The differences between the Post and the Rocky are worth celebrating, as is their continued existence, which was in doubt when they entered into a joint operating agreement five years ago. Yet their individual quirks are still capable of inspiring head-scratching on a very regular basis.
The Post's 2004 redesign helps the paper put its best face forward. Especially effective is a space above the nameplate that's used to plug inside items with text and, often, accompanying art. For example, a May 12 tease of a Poseidon review placed the words "Better Effects, Crueler Script" in front of a giant wave. The writing can be punchy, too, as it was in a May 9 blurb -- "Does Sex Really Sell? Study Says Maybe Not" -- that may have actually convinced people who never bother with the business section to give it a try. The Post has also gotten better at using big photos or graphics above the fold, rather than dispersing the visual impact by scattering several smaller ones around.
As a result, secondary stories must be extremely compelling -- or made to seem that way -- in order to earn attention, and during the survey period, several failed to meet this standard. Lackluster headlines are a lot of the problem, with the May 9 issue offering some unfortunate examples. The main head, "Legislature: It's a Wrap," was less than stirring, but it was grabby as all get-out compared with "Border Debate: Many in Middle," a label that made the sizzling immigration controversy seem about as hot as Walt Disney's cryo-chamber, and "New Sign Pays Homage," a desultory lead-in to an emotional narrative about slain police officer Donald Young. Even worse was the May 11 headline "Phone Records of Millions Collected." The USA Today story below, about a National Security Agency program to examine the telephone records of average American citizens in the hopes of stumbling upon a terrorist, was a stunner that's still generating arguments. But thanks to the bland headline, Post readers may have missed it, and instead gotten stuck reading a lead article about the chances of United Airlines relocating its headquarters to Denver (those odds are "slim" and "none," respectively) or perusing a gaudy graphic that asked, "How Lasting is Liposuction?"
This last piece was among several Post front-pagers with dubious news value; even the broadsheet's Sunday showcase wasn't immune. On May 7, the Post offered a first-rate series about Manual High School that was promoted by an appropriately vivid headline ("Manual's Slow Death") and two dominating photos. But a week later, on May 14, the paper devoted its most high-profile real estate to a story about foreign-born doctors working in rural communities. Variations on this report have cropped up in many venues of late, and the Post didn't make its offering any fresher with another inspiration-free headline ("Foreign Docs Fill Gaps") and a photo of a mugging physician that could have come from a bad sitcom.

Man arrested after pig slaughtered in Fair Oaks backyard
Sacramento County sheriff's deputies said a man inhumanely slaughtered a large hog in the backyard of a Fair Oaks home.
Neighbors at a Fair Oaks apartment complex near the home said they could not ignore the squealing.
"We heard horrendous screaming and squealing from pigs," said neighbor Trust Palmer. "(It died) from a hammer hit to the head."
Christopher Roppelt, 31, was arrested Thursday night and charged with felony cruelty to animals, according to deputies.
"There was a very large hog and it was suffering. It looks like at first he tried to bludgeon it with some kind of blunt force. When that was unsuccessful, he took some type of weapon and slit the pig's throat," said Jason Ramos of the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department.
Animal control officers and sheriff's deputies put the hog out of its misery.
"We made the decision to end the life of the hog that much quicker with a fatal gun shot," Ramos said.
On Sunday, deputies went back to the home to tell residents to remove the carcass and remaining pigs from the property.
Sheriff's officials tell KCRA 3 the area isn't zoned for livestock.
A woman who lives at the home said the incident wasn't inhumane.
"We just didn't know how to kill the pig, that's all it was," she said.
Neighbors, however, said there is no excuse.
"I don't care if you kill pigs, but do it the right way," said Palmer.
Residents who live at the home where the pig was killed said they are in the process of removing the other hogs from their back yard.

Mosbach Castle Rental Photos and Description
6 Dream Vacation apartments in a historic water castle
The moated castle, on the southern edge of the Odenwald lies embedded in a welcoming Hügellaft far from the romantic Neckar Valley. The distance to the center of the county town of Mosbach with its beautiful half-timbered houses is approximately 6 km. Neckarbwärts towards Heidelberg, the trail leads past many castles and beautiful towns by the large unspoilt forests of the Odenwald. Neckar upward in direction Heilbronn start the vineyards.
Such places have their charm, history and stories.
Of special attraction is the plot of the water castle with its many lovely places in the midst of biodiverse parks and gardens.

Westbury is situated under the north-western bluffs of Salisbury Plain, cut into which is one of our line's most distinctive landmarks, the Westbury White Horse. Once believed to have been created to celebrate a great Saxon victory over the Danes in 878, no evidence has yet been found for the existence of the Westbury White Horse before the 1720s. The form of the current White Horse dates from 1778, although its original shape may have been quite different from the horse seen today. One 18th century engraving shows the horse facing to the right, but in its current form it faces to the left.
The centre of town is surprisingly quaint, particularly around the Market Place, behind which is the churchyard of All Saints' Church (14th century). The church boasts the third heaviest ring of bells in the world, an Erasmus Bible and a 16th century clock with no face constructed by a local blacksmith. The town has some interesting independent retail stores, and splendid Victorian swimming baths, with the oldest indoor pool still in use in the country.
The town centre is just under a mile from the station, but is signposted along the route, and there is a useful map on the front wall of the station (to the left as you exit). At the top of the station approach road, turn right at the roundabout. There are also reasonably frequent buses along the main road at that point. Again, details are available at the front of the station.

guest ranch set in an 1880s
Anaconda, Montana
This ranch has been run as a dude ranch and has not been run for several years. Because it was reduced in acreage, I believe the ranch would be best operated as a guest ranch or a B&B. It is most unique, designed to look like an 1880s town with modern amenities inside. ...

Tiger Lyrics - Paula Cole
Review The Song (2)
Where do I put this fire
This bright red feeling
This tiger lily down my back
He wants to grow to twenty feet tall
I've left bethlehem
I feel free
I've left the girl I was supposed to be and
Someday I'll be born
I'm so tired of being shy
I'm not that girl anymore
I'm not that straight A anymore
Now I want to sit with my legs wide open and
Laugh so loud that the whole damn restaurant
Will turn and look at me and say
Look at the tiger jumping out of her mouth
No more sex-starved teachers
Trying to touch my ass
I can finally be a teenager at age twenty-six
Go to hell lions, tigers, and bears
I'm not afraid of you anymore
And my fear broke apart like fifty balloons
And I'm thrown around the room like party confetti now
Someday I'll be born
Someday someday someday I'll be born
Someday someday someday I'll be born
High and noon (13 times)

Brilliant | Reviewer: Sean McKinley | 11/21/2007
The emotion and effort it requires for a woman to sing with such intensity, allowing the primal anger and angst of her thoughts be revealed so honestly, is truly remarkable. I've seen her a few years ago at the Lillith Fair - she takes her music very seriously, enough so that Peter Gabriel thought she was good enough for his Secret World Tour.
Hate this song! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/25/2006
I guess Paula is trying to be some sort of performance artist, but her voice on the ending to this song is so grating that it totally detracts from the lyrics. Sounds like she scream-singing, and it's horrible! Up until that point, I kind of liked it!

This product doens't give me much volume, but it did make my eyelashes stay curled all day.
Not a fan of the wand, too hard to put mascara on.
Take a long time to get it off, because it's too waterproof.
Another negative is that it's on the pricey side.

Love this gel formula, the brush is cool too. It really does stay on waterproof but it's not too bad to remove. I got mine at Kroger for about USD$6, is easily found at most places like DS that sells Maybelline. I think this is their 2nd best waterproof mascara (after GreatLash!), but the brush being flexible makes it unique & I love how it holds a curl & is really black.

This is an okay mascara. I needed a waterproof mascara because I go to the pool or the beach a lot. This one doesn't give much volume but it's pretty water resistant. If you touch your eyes after getting wet it will smudge a bit. Not buying again but it'll do for now.

Maybelline usually is on point with their mascaras, but I don't like this one at all. I purchased it in purple to change it up a bit, but this just doesn't have much pigment, doesn't really lengthen, volumize, or provide any oomph. For the extra work to apply and curl for little effect, I'd rather just get 5 extra minutes of sleep and skip this altogether. This one will probably just get thrown out soon since I never use it.

I kind of have a love/hate relationship with Maybelline mascaras. I'm never too crazy about their wands, which are usually cheaper and more flimsy than other brands. Clumps were at a minimum, but still definitely there, which is to be expected with all mascara. I definitely didn't like the "flex" wand, the mostly just sprung up and got mascara on my eyelid! I found a slight difference from other mascaras, with their claim for plush, non-stiff lashes. They were still relatively stiff, which I guess is required for it not to smudge all over the place. Overall, I don't think I'll be buying again, but it was a decent mascara if you like past Maybelline mascaras.

I wore this once and i guess it's not a fair review if i only wore it once, but I'd still like to review this mascara before tossing it in the garbage. The performance of this mascara on my lashes was okay, it was nothing special. The gel formula is unique, but when I opened it, it looked as if it was old and it smelled slightly overwhelming. The formula looked extremely thick and made it hard to apply onto my lashes, especially with the flexible applicator that moves around. I didnt mind the flexible applicator or the smell, but the formula was just too thick for my liking. It performs quite like the Maybelline The Colossal WP mascara when it's close to drying out. It clumps quite a bit, provides little to some length and it gave some (not too much) volume. It's nothing special and gives a fairly natural look. This did not smudge on me throughout the day and it holds true to it's waterproof label. (I went in the shower with this and it did not come off at all)
However, it was a little TOO waterproof and it took me a lot of effort just to remove it. I use EVOO and a waterproof Makeup remover and it still doesn't wash off completely. There's still a little remaining when i sleep, and doesn't completely wash off till the next wash.
Better off with the Maybelline the Colossal WP mascara (that one washes off quite easily and performs much better!) :)

I really enjoy the formula of this mascara, it goes on well, doesn't come off throughout the day, doesn't make my lashes too clumpy if I wipe off excess, BUT.. I cannot get this crap off of my eyelashes! It takes a good 3 minutes to get it all off, and that's with waterproof mascara makeup remover. I liked it, but I threw it out because it's definitely not worth damaging my eyes just trying to get it off. I like Maybelline's The Colossal. Works similar, but actually comes off!

I bought this mascara after reading great reviews. Boy was I disappointed. The brush is horrible. It does not grap my lashes at all and it moves! IT MOVES! I can't even apply any mascara to my lashes because the bending mechanism thing on the wand does not allow me to use pressure. The formula has the potential to be good, but the brush doesn't allow me to find out. It is waterproof however. I slipped numerous times trying to put the mascara on due to the wand and found that the mascara wouldn't come off with out a hefty amount of remover. I'm not sure if I had a defective wand or what.

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
Otto Schnellbacher, one of the greatest athletes in University of Kansas history, passed away on Monday, March 10. He was 84 years old.
Schnellbacher was a football and basketball standout at Kansas before playing both sports professionally. Known as the "Double Threat from Sublette" he was an All-America football selection in 1947 as a wide receiver, helping the Jayhawks to an 8-1-2 record, a share of the Big Six Championship and a trip to the Orange Bowl.
Schnellbacher and Ray Evans were the first Jayhawks to be tabbed football All-Americans in 1947. Schnellbacher was a two-time all-Big Six selection on the gridiron; he finished his career with 58 receptions for 1,069 yards. Those numbers stood as KU records for 22 years.
He lettered in football at Kansas in 1942, 46 and 47, serving as a co-captain his senior year. He also served as a team captain in basketball, and is one of just three KU athletes ever to captain both teams.
In basketball, Schnellbacher was a four-time all-conference selection, one of just three players in KU history to accomplish that feat (Charlie Black, 1942-43, 46-47 and Darnell Valentine, 1978-81). He averaged 9.7 points per game as a sophomore, 11.2 as a junior and a team-best 12.8 as a senior under head coach Phog Allen.
He was drafted by the Chicago Cardinals of the NFL in 1947 and by the New York Yankees of the All America Football Conference in 1948. He played with the Yankees in 1948 and 1949.
Schnellbacher then joined the New York Giants of the NFL in 1950 and 1951, earning All-Pro honors as a defensive back both seasons. He led the NFL in interceptions with 11 in 1951. He finished his four-year professional football career with 34 interceptions, including 19 with the Giants.
Schnellbacher spent the 1948-49 season in the NBA with the St. Louis Bombers and the Providence Steamrollers.
He has been inducted into the State of Kansas Sports Hall of Fame, and the University of Kansas Ring of Honor and Hall of Fame.

Son sues Skokie over garbage truck crash that killed mom
By MIKE ISAACS Sun-Times Media October 29, 2013 10:18PM
Updated: October 29, 2013 10:57PM
The son of a Korean woman who was one of three people killed in a fiery car crash with a Skokie garbage truck Oct. 15 is suing the Village of Skokie, he said Tuesday.
The collision occurred at 12:40 p.m. at Harlem and Harrison in Glenview, according to Glenview Police. Gwi Rye Kim was in the back seat of an SUV with Chicago residents Won Suk Lim, 56, and his wife, Jung Ran Min, 50, when their vehicle was crushed and caught fire after impact.
Kim's son, Jaeyoul Jung, alleges in the lawsuit that the garbage truck driver was traveling too fast for conditions and not paying close enough attention. The driver was allegedly on his way to a refuse transfer station with a loaded truck at the time.
"My family and I are so very sad because of what happened to her," Jung said Tuesday at Clifford Law Offices in downtown Chicago. "It is not right. We need answers. We thought we would have her for many more years. Instead her death came so suddenly and we were not prepared. Knowing how she died brings even greater sadness because of the violent nature of her death."
Jung, who lives in Korea and came here after his mother died, made his statement in Korean and it was translated in English.
After the crash, Skokie released a statement that maintained that the driver had "complete right of way." The passenger vehicle violated the two-way stop sign and entered the intersection, according tothe statement.
Thomas K. Prindable, managing partner of Clifford Law Offices, doesn't deny that the garbage truck driver had the right of way and that the SUV driver was required to stop before heading through the intersection. But he said the suit was filed to ascertain all the facts surrounding the crash.
"Mr. Jung and his family members would really just like some answers as to how this tragic crash happened," he said.
The truck pushed the SUV about 90 feet and landed on top of it, causing a fire, he said. The victims burned to death and their bodies could not immediately be identified. He wants to be able to inspect the vehicles and have "equal status" with Glenview Police in the investigation.
According to Prindable, a Mack garbage truck of this kind should have an "electronic control module" that would record the speed of the garbage truck, the speed at braking and the length of the braking.
"The garbage truck driver has never been identified in the press," Prindable said. "We have requested and have been denied the police report. We have requested the name of the driver and have been denied."
Skokie officials have said only that the driver is a 19-year veteran with a solid record.
Jung is seeking more than $50,000, according to the lawsuit.
The lawsuit, filed in Cook County Circuit Court, states that Kim's death left her two adult sons and adult daughter with losses that include "support, society, companionship, love, affection, protection and consortium."
The three victims who died that day owned or worked at a Korean restaurant in Chicago and were enjoying a day off, Prindable said.
Prindable said the garbage truck driver will be added to the lawsuit once his name is identified, along with the driver of the car, Kim's close friend. The latter, though, is more complicated because you can't sue the estate of a dead person, only the representative of the estate, which takes some time, he said.
"That's the only reason the village of Skokie is the only named defendant at this time," Prindable said.

Jack in the Box always delivers on the marketing side of things, and the Bacon Insider burger is no exception. First off, we have the commercial.
I want to hate the jingle, but for some reason I find it difficult to do so, even though I managed to memorize the entire thing and get it stuck in my head after just two viewings. Well, I guess that's the sign of a good jingle.
What does it say about me that I'd rather have the curly fry tree than the chopper out back?
What we really need to focus on here, though, is the bork. In case you haven't figured it out, it's beef and pork, represented in the commercial by pigs with cow-like markings on them.
This creative take on the "stuffed burger" concept seems cute and innocent in the commercial, but I sense some dark, Island of Dr. Moreau-esque undertones. This is punctuated by the bork at the very end of the commercial that proclaims, "Moink?"
It's the desperate cry of an abomination, confusion showing in the question mark as it struggles to understand its place in nature when, in reality, it has none.
I'm just fucking with you. I instantly fell in love with "Moink?" and have said it like, five times today. It's a delightful portmanteau.
If you want a real bonus treat, watch the Spanish-language version of the commercial, which contains mariachis wearing Mexican pointy boots, a thing I did not know existed until now. The boots, not mariachis. Credit to sometime guest-reviewer Robert for finding this gem.
Also true to form, Jack in the Box has created a special promo site for the Bacon Insider, including a tour of Jack's farm and a game where you control a bork in…virtual space? that shoots bacon at regular hamburgers and turns them into Bacon Insiders. If this weren't Jack in the Box, I'd consider that a bizarre sentence.
Here's Jack's long-winded description of the Bacon Insider: "Jack's newest creation is a bacon triple threat. A juicy beef patty mixed with savory pieces of bacon. This new bacon and beef patty is sandwiched between hickory smoked bacon and topped with creamy bacon mayo, lettuce, tomato, and American cheese. All served on our new soft warm brioche bun. This burger is sure to make you want to 'bring home the bacon.'"
Can we pretend they never used the phrase "bring home the bacon" and just stick with "moink" and "bork"? I'm sure the Swedish Chef would agree. Bork bork bork.
The Bacon Insider, deconstructed. The lettuce was a little sad, but the tomatoes were juicy, and look at that lovely bacon configuration. Instead of letting the slices just flop out the sides, they've been neatly arranged to fit in the burger. And plenty of it, too!
But wait, there's more! And by that I mean more bacon and bacon mayo underneath the bork patty. Double bacon layer. That's pretty awesome.
Speaking of the bacon mayo, I tasted some on its own and it was tangy (because it's mayo, duh) but only vaguely bacon-y. As you can see, there were little speckles in it that looked bacon-ish, but it wasn't like there was some JitB employee hand-crumbling pieces of bacon into the condiment.
Now we come to the bork patty. There were definitely some visible bacon pieces in the burger, and when tasted on its own, the bacon was impressively noticeable. In my experience, most "stuffed" burgers don't actually gain any flavor from whatever they're stuffed with, so this is a bit of an accomplishment.
Now that we've deconstructed the Bacon Insider, the real question is, how did it taste altogether?
I found it to be what is probably the most baconiest fast food burger I've ever had. The bacon strips were what I would call mid-level crispy, and the configuration of the strips, in addition to having them on top of and beneath the burger, guaranteed that I got bacon in each and every bite. How often does that happen with a bacon cheeseburger?
Looking at the big picture, it seems like it's the proliferation of bacon strips that did all the heavy lifting on the Bacon Insider. Maybe the bork patty and the bacon mayo added a little extra bacon support, but I could also argue that their flavor disappeared under all that bacon.
The bottom line, however, is that the Jack in the Box Bacon Insider burger really does deliver the bacon goodness. (I almost made a "bring home the bacon" joke there, and then realized what I was doing and quietly backspaced. Oh, wait, I probably wasn't supposed to tell you that.) I credit the amount and configuration of the bacon strips, but I do wish the bacon mayo and the bork patty had been able to shine a little more. However, it made for a great marketing campaign, and I learned about Mexican pointy boots!
At the end of the day, all I can say is…moink?

I tried one of these earlier this week. Here are my unsolicited thoughts….
1. Bacon Insider? I hardly know 'er! I just had to get that out of the way, first.
2. Seriously, what is the deal with Jack's lettuce? It's bad enough that he's giving us iceberg instead of the green leaf or arugula or whatever it is in the official glamour shot, but even for iceberg, the lettuce I got was pathetic. To call it wilted would have been a compliment, because it would imply that it once was good and fresh. I guess I wasn't prepared for this, since pretty much anything I ever order from Jack is lettuceless. I think I'll keep it that way.
3. I honestly didn't get a big rush of bacon flavor from the "Bork" patty. Maybe it tasted a little more smoky than usual? The gratuitous bacon slices above and below really were necessary to make thing anything other than just a regular cheeseburger. And while we're talking about cheese….
4. I have a recommendation for all the burger joints out there, so listen up. Don't put a single crappy slice of American cheese on your "premium" burgers. It always, ALWAYS brings the quality down. An American cheese slice is just fine on the value menu and is even acceptable on your mid-priced items, but once your burger starts edging towards the $5 mark, you need to step up the cheese game and throw on some Swiss or cheddar or Monterey jack or… something. Something that doesn't make me immediately think you just peeled open a Kraft single and slapped it on as an afterthought.
5. I liked the "Creamy Bacon Mayo", even though it was pretty much indistinguishable from their "Mayo-Onion Sauce", which is on the Sourdough Jack. I enjoy that Jack has to have a new special sort of mayonnaise for every burger he comes up with.
7. I felt like I'd eaten an entire package of bacon after I ate this thing. I really want to get another actually count the number of slices. Also, they seemed pretty good for fast-food burger bacon, which usually sucks.
6. Finally, I really want Jack to replicate this, using sausage. C'Mon Jack, let me have my Sausage Insider.
Thank you, you've been a great audience. I'll be here all week.
Robert Bork. Ray Bourque. Bork and Mindy. Smorgasbork. Sbork.
I need to taste this baconiest bacon burger! Looks amazing. Bacon mayo shall haunt my dreams.
Thanks for another amazing review, yo!
I love reading your reviews!
Jack in the Box is not only the best Jack around (sorry, Sparrow), it's also the best Box.
I thought this burger was pretty good, too!
Great review! I love Jack in the Box's creativity with their menu.
Jack in the Box has, without a doubt, the best salads! They do have a very large menu!
Digicats {at} Sbcglobal {dot} Net
I've been watching their commercial for the past 2 weeks, but after reading this review, I'm giving one a try for lunch tomorrow. Moink!
All that bacon makes it worth trying!
