Breaking news from the Fast Food Nation: The McRib returned to McDonald’s locations nationwide yesterday. (And just in time for the election: Republicans make big gains and the McRib is reinstated, not sure what to make of that connection.)

After all, he can’t even correctly spell his own last name–Pkafke, really? C’mon! The world needs the return of the McRib like it needs the reemergence of polio. In my professional opinion, I recommend you vaccinate yourself with a plate of real barbecue from your favorite local joint.

So I stopped at a McDonald’s to take a ride on their free wifi, grabbed my netbook from the trunk, and loaded up bbqjew.com [Editor's note: and ordered a delicious McRib sandwich?]. […]
