I have done a poor job of updating my blog as of late. I plan on putting something up here in the near future. And no, this post doesn't count as "something." It would be rather silly of me to refer to this post in the future tense, wouldn't it? Although I suppose that it could make sense given that it will be online in the future relative to the moments in which I am writing these words. Well, regardless of whether you want to view this from the perspective of my future or your present, this post still doesn't count. Sorry for wasting your time with this self-referential tripe!

Hey hey hey, today is Michelle's birthday! I hope she parties heartily; she deserves to let loose more than anyone right now. Of course, it would be nice if I could actually be with her to celebrate, but that's how the cookie crumbles.
Mmm, I should get her a giant birthday cookie when she comes back to town. That would be so delicious. No, wait, a giant birthday cookie skillet! With ice cream! Michelle, mark this down - we are going to share a gigantic warm cookie topped with the ice cream of your choice (even butter pecan!), which in turn will likely be topped with chocolate.
Can you tell that I haven't eaten dinner yet?
CLICK ME!Anyway, back to topic. Whenever I hear the word "birthday" nowadays, I automatically think of Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job, and the beautiful singing of Jan and Wayne Skylar (the only married news team in the tri-county area). I'm sure everyone assumes that the song was intended for Dr. Steve Brule, but I just noticed something today that makes me wonder if that really is the case. I don't know how I missed this before...
Okay, listen up; things have started to get a little confusing in our country, so here's the latest rundown: Fox News is now the voice of the hippy revolution, CNN is The Man (and has little regard for the emotional wellbeing of babies), MSNBC is the new Daily Show, and The Daily Show is back to waiting tables. On top of that, our country is descending into some sort of bizarro communist/fascist hybrid state and the stars of Cheers and Northern Exposure are making celebrity appearances.

Got it? Well, below is the obligatory Comedy Central clip to provide a little more clarity. (I'm assuming it was recorded between shifts at Applebee's) If you glance downward, you'll see that after giving an overview of the recent Tea Party protests, Jon Stewart makes an attempt to comprehend what's going on with this apparently crazy new world order that's brewing around us. I don't know, man. I don't know.
Not that this is any big surprise, but (gasp!) fast food almost always misrepresents itself in advertisements. There's nothing like like a good illustration of a concept, though, so here you go: yummm
