Initial Code 
$.enableConsole = false;
$.fn.console = $.console = function(method){
	if (window.console && console[method] && $.enableConsole)
		console[method].apply(this, [].splice.call(arguments,1))
	return this;
}

// When debugging code, be sure to set:
$.enableConsole = true; // Or none of your lines will reach the console

// You can call any firebug functions through either the direct jQuery object, or in a chain:
$.console('debug', 'This is some %s text', 'debugging');

// The best part is the ability to use the firebug console chain easily:
var color = '#FFF';
$('#someElement').css('backgroundColor', color).console('log', 'Changing the background color to "%s"', color);

// And the access to the other functions of the firebug console, like time/timeEnd
$('#someElement').console('time', 'timing foo').animate({...}).console('timeEnd', 'timing foo');
