Why? My cupcakes, why hast thou forsaken me?

I have checked the status of the votes. I can see perfectly clearly that you don't want ads on my blog. But before you make your decision final, examine my noble motive: if enough people click on the ads, I will get enough money to buy myself a two-story house. Or a ranch. A cardboard box perhaps. Something other than a bi-level. Or, I may use it to buy a new computer. I have my eye set on the new iMac. Yes, the iMac! I need it for better blogging! Please reconsider, cupcakes. Or at least, send me money for keeping you entertained. Think of me as the PBS of blogging--no commercials, high-quality content, and pledge drives twice a year.
