Maybe it should be the International Edition. Certainly there’s no one in the US wasting time at work reading this. Independence Day is probably the most widely observed holiday in the US – moreso than Christmas or Thanksgiving. In my first years on the bottom rungs at a law firm, I worked all of these holidays. Plenty of company on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Fourth of July? Ghost town. Anyway, light posting today (unless it really starts to rain). If you’re French, take a half day off, since you helped and all.

Even if it’s fake, it’s funny.

Did you skip over the guest Midweek Makeover: Cover Girl Edition post? Go back and check it out – more cover goodness (and High Fidelity-level music dorkery in the comments).

No more SuperValues meals? The American Family Association is calling for a boycott of McDonalds, because McDonalds apparently lacks the requisite hatefulness to stay in the AFA’s good graces (something about daring to be interested in marketing to gay people). And when know what happens when you lack hatefulness (stolen from the comments at WaPo):
I have to confess to an illicit affair with Mayor McCheese. It started out so innocently; we bumped into each other at a food convention and started chatting about McDonald’s new policy. The conversation began to turn and soon we were discussing the appeal of hot beef and soft buns. We sneaked away to his hut and there I touched his pickles and sniffed his onions. He made sure there were plenty of condiments for us both, and it ended with secret sauce. I have never met any faster food in my life. Now he refuses to return my calls. I am at my wit’s end. If loving him is wrong, I don’t want to be right.
Now, there are a billion reasons not to eat at McDonalds (your health primary among them), but this will make me at stop there more often when I want a Diet Coke.

More later. Maybe. Enjoy the holiday.
