Update 2: This is your brain. This is your brain on sea salt.
Popsci.com had an article on salt – specifically how Lays is solving the Salt Health Epidemic of 2010 (never mind that salt doesn’t affect you unless you’re sensitive to it).
Then a commenter said THIS, which is probably one of the stupider things I’ve ever seen in print.

Ummmmm No need to reinvent the wheel here. Just use sea salt for a healthier alternative to regular table salt. Sea salt is water soluble and will pass right through your system.
Mother nature has already solved the problem for healthier salt.
Next!

Update 1: How about that change? And he says he’s a capitalist.
PRESIDENT OBAMA: “Now, what we’re doing, I want to be clear, we’re not trying to push financial reform because we begrudge success that’s fairly earned. I mean, I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money.” - Video at RealClearPolitics – April 28, 2010
****THIS WAS THE IDEA REFERRED TO IN THE TITLE…****
Illegal immigrants plan to leave over Ariz. law
… Many day laborers like Diaz say they will leave Arizona because of the law, which also makes it a state crime to be in the U.S. illegally and directs police to question people about their immigration status if there is reason to suspect they are illegal immigrants.
The sob story…
Diaz says he has too much to lose by staying – he’s supporting a wife and infant son back home in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, across the border from El Paso, Texas.
“They depend on me to survive,” he says. “I’m not going to wait for police to come and arrest me.”
Yes, a man has to provide for his family. But there are legal ways. No one is upset if you want to get a green card and work, but there’s plenty of people upset about workers who are here illegally and suck off the system. A green card means you are a tax resident and you stop living off the grid.

So, Obama is just going back to his “spread the wealth around” bit…there’s a shocker.
And as for the illegals, I do feel bad. And then I remember growing up in the Valley in Texas, and how I couldn’t even play outside, and how my friend died, and my dad’s friend was carjacked….
Sorry about your friend. Sounds like a rough neighborhood.
Before I started powerlifting I had the crap beaten out of me by one of the local immigrant kids during school – totally his fault from beginning to end as he was breaking into my locker. This kid and his family exemplified the worst of the stereotype and they were by no means an isolated case.
So anyway, as fast as I could train and bulk up, people started leaving me alone.
Let’s just say I’m supportive of being very discriminating about the TYPE of people we allow in. I want people legally coming here who have their sh*t together, are community conscious, and a moral code.
It wasn’t a rough neighborhood…it was at the mall in the next city over, just after sunset. And I still remember her
I agree with you about the need to be selective about the type of people we allow in. Most countries do not fling their doors wide open and shout, “C’mon in!” For instance, my brother-in-law from my first marriage emigrated from the U.S. to New Zealand, and has been there for about 25 years. Even after he married a local girl, in order to remain there he had to prove that he had a job and enough money in the bank to leave if they should ever change their minds. So many native Kiwis live on the dole that they wanted to be damned sure the immigrants could help support them, rather than add to the burden.
Idjits!
We’re surrounded by idjits.
We even have them running the country.
They’re everywhere.
O…M…G…
Please by all that is holy, tell me that idiot at Popsci isn’t a scientist!!!!
I sure hope not, but I made sure that I linked his comment, so if the induhvidual is as dumb as it appears then we should see some activity.
My parents grew up in south Texas and I’ve heard all the stories from relatives that are still down there.
The crime rate among the illegals is incredibly high even factoring over the reported 12 million or what ever people that are here. For the record, I’d bet the actual number is at least double that figure.
Pass the salt please.
