Oy vey!

The ignorance of some people sometimes just makes me want to hit my head against a brick wall. Like this story:
CRESAPTOWN, Md. (Map, News) - You've heard of kosher salt? Now there's a Christian variety.

Retired barber Joe Godlewski says he was inspired by television chefs who repeatedly recommended kosher salt in recipes.

"I said, 'What the heck's the matter with Christian salt?'" Godlewski said, sipping a beer in the living room of his home in unincorporated Cresaptown, a western Maryland mountain community.

By next week, his trademarked Blessed Christians Salt will be available at http://www.memphi.net, the Web site of Memphis, Tenn.-based seasonings manufacturer Ingredients Corporation of America. (Read the rest of it and weep.)

Can you say, "Missing the point?" (Saw this at Boing Boing, one of my favorite diversions on the internets.)

hey, I just bought some Quaker Salt! It comes as one big block. Simple salt. And it's silent.

Then there's Obamasalt. It CHANGES the flavor of food when used, but the food is still the same.

Then there's Nancy Pelosi salt. It's not even "on the table".

So is to salt liberally the same as Liberal Salt?

Then there's Boxcar children salt. The shaker is.....empty.

ObamaSalt™: It's no different than regular salt, but:

Democrats think it makes all food better than it has ever been and find eating ObamaSalted food to be a near orgasmic experience.

Republicans think it will kill you and claim they'd prefer to starve rather than eat ObamaSalted food. In fact, what they really want is to keep all the ObamaSalt for themselves, change the name to Conserve-a-Salt™, and let everyone else starve.
