Taco Bell: fast food even faster

17 Taco Bell: fast food even faster Daily Dot

Just because the concept of guilty pleasure attained its undoubtable zenith with the Crunchwrap Supreme doesn’t mean that Taco Bell, purveyor of affordable dog food for drunk humans, will stop innovating new ways to excite our appetites and ravage our colons. It's also, it so happens, the first of the major highway rest stop franchises to introduce a mobile ordering app (though rival McDonald’s may not be far behind), just to streamline the process of binge-eating your way into a shame coma. Available for the iPhone and Android, the software allows you to select a location, customize your desired tacos or taco-like menu items, skip the line of defeated losers relaying their orders by mouth, and pay with a credit card that never even leaves your wallet. Best of all, the app enables your pattern of self-abuse with the “Rotate to Re-order” feature—a single click tells them you want the usual. To reinforce the idea that this is a new dawn where America’s snackaholism is concerned, Taco Bell deleted all its tweets and Facebook posts before beginning to tout the gimmick.

Riots Erupt In Zambian Capital

25 Riots Erupt In Zambian Capital Huffington Post

LUSAKA, Zambia (AP) — Zambia's acting president on Tuesday rescinded his decision to dismiss the ruling party's chief in a bid to defuse a political conflict that triggered overnight riots. The reversal was announced by acting President Guy Scott and Edgar Lungu, who was restored as secretary general of the ruling Patriotic Front party. Police and demonstrators clashed late Monday in protests against Scott, a white Zambian who fired Lungu following the death last week of President Michael Sata. The 77-year-old president died in a London hospital on Oct. 28 after a long illness. Scott's move to defuse public anger came after a heated meeting in which senior party members urged Scott to reinstate Lungu, who is also minister of defense and justice and is considered a possible presidential candidate. Under the constitution, Zambia must hold a presidential election within 90 days of a president's death. "The position of secretary general will remain with Honorable Edgar Lungu," the statement said. Former Vice President Scott has said he is not interested in running for president and is in any case barred from the office because his parents were not Zambian by birth or descent. The riots started Monday night in several places in the Zambian capital of Lusaka, including the University of Zambia and a government building designated as a place for Sata's mourners to gather, according to witnesses. Protesters had descended on the building, Belvedere Lodge, with stones, machetes and other weapons, and police fired tear gas into the venue to clear demonstrators from the area. Order was restored early Tuesday. The protesters were angry over the dismissal of Lungu, who said Scott's act was illegal. He accused Scott, who is of Scottish descent, of "insulting our culture." Lungu was acting president when Sata died in London. Sata's body arrived in Lusaka on Saturday and was taken to a conference center for public viewing until the burial on Nov. 11. The conference center has not been affected by the rioting, which ended early Tuesday, though protesters warned they could return to the streets. Before Lungu's reinstatement, Moses Siwali, spokesman for the home affairs ministry, had urged political groups to meet peacefully to resolve the situation. "We don't want Zambia to go into turmoil," he said. Protester Mary Tembo earlier said Scott, the acting president, was causing confusion. She urged him to "go to Scotland," saying Zambians want to mourn their president in peace.

Man Kiled By Falling Tape Measure

26 Man Kiled By Falling Tape Measure Huffington Post

JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) — A man delivering sheet rock to a construction site was killed Monday when a tape measure fell 50 stories and hit him on the head, authorities said. A spokeswoman for Jersey City's department of public safety said the accident occurred shortly before 9 a.m. in the city's downtown area. The 1-pound tape measure became dislodged from the belt of a worker on the 50th floor and struck construction equipment about 10 to 15 feet from the ground, spokeswoman Carly Baldwin said. It then ricocheted and struck 58-year-old Gary Anderson, who had just stopped to speak with another worker who was in a pickup truck. Anderson, of Somerdale in southern New Jersey, was taken to a hospital, where he died shortly before 10 a.m. Anderson wasn't wearing a hard hat but had one in his truck at the time, according to the police report. A police report listed Anderson as working for Charlotte, North Carolina-based National Gypsum. A spokeswoman for the company said he was delivering National Gypsum's product at the time of the accident but was employed by an independent trucking company. Officials said two 50-story residential towers and an attached hotel are being built at the site of the accident.
