For both of you wondering why it’s been so long since I’ve written (hint: it isn’t because I’ve been banging Adam’s neice girlfriend), it’s mostly due to the fact that I’ve spent little time at my computer in the past few weeks. It’s true, my computer has seen as much of me as Sarah Palin has seen of Russia from her backyard.
I could ramble on about the various weddings and other events I’ve been to in July, but who wants to read about that? What I’d like to do is share some of the things I’ve seen people do while driving. Things that don’t seem to cause the law-creating outrage that talking or texting do. I’m guilty of at least some of these myself:

Last Spring I posted a story about 10 New Fast Food Items in the Works. The post was a farce. I truly didn’t really think so many fast food companies would actually begin to try and outdo each other creating mondo-caloric foods that dwarf the fatty crap they already sell.
I was wrong. So very, wrong.
Instead of restraining themselves, and considering the obesity epidemic in America, fast food makers have bluntly shouted “Fuck You” to the health conscious movement and have begun unleashing their monstrosities en-mass.
Witness Carl Jr’s new foot long burger. A 1400-calorie monster burger. Monster burger? Does everything in this country have to be super-sized? Yes!
The foot long burger is just one example though. It’ll get worse. Quickly.
I guess Carl’s, KFC, Friendly’s and the like, figure they bare little responsibility for America’s fatness. It’s our personal responsibility. Our choice not to eat these cheap, sugary/fat sandwiches. They are in it for the profit. And these things sell, especially at just $4 a foot-long burger.
So, it’s up to our collective self-restraint to avoid buying these giant bad-for-us foods. Personally, I won’t. But the sad reality is I just bought some stock in Carl’s Jr.
Eat up America. Die early. That way I get more Social Security to live on.

I feel like Susan Powter here…”Stop the insanity!”
Regional fast food joint Friendly’s isn’t taking the success of KFC’s Double Down sandwich lightly. They’ve introduced their own gut-busting, heart attack, caloric-insanity sandwich.
The Grilled Cheese BurgerMelt is a big burger between 2 grilled cheese sandwiches. Apparently it’s the “BurgerMelt to end all BurgerMelts.” Which, when considering bad it is for you, could spell a lawsuit. And George Steinbrenner like heart attacks.
A few month ago I predicted the next wave of Fat food sandwiches. I have to admit, I did not see this one coming.
