[jQuery] Double queries using $.load

[EnvyGeeks]

It seems that either I'm doing something horribly wrong or something
because everytime I do an Ajax call using $.load() it causes a double
query on the page.

example:
$("div#example a").click(function(){
    $.ajax_uri = this.href;
    $("div#sidebar").fade_in(300,function(){
        return $("div#sidebar").load(String($.ajax_uri)+" div#sidebar
ul:first",function(){
            return $("div#sidebar").fade_out(300);
        });
    });
    return false;
});

results in:

GET URL/URI    200 OK    39ms    jquery.js (line 19)
GET URL/URI    200 OK    28ms    jquery.js (line 19)

I removed the URL's and URI's because it's a work in progress and I
don't want it public just yet.
