Today’s photo of the day shows President Obama on Leno. While I don’t mind him stopping by to occasionally yuk it up, this didn’t feel right. Unless Leno was prepared to ask mildly tough question, they should’ve stuck to lighthearted banter. Otherwise, it just feels like propaganda to me.

Today’s video of the day shows classic footage of the Jackson 5. Remember when Michael was the shit???

Today’s video of the day comes from Bill Maher, where Michael Eric Dyson lays the smackdown on conservative Andrew Breitbart.

Christian Salt Introduced

After reportedly tiring of hearing chefs on television recommend kosher salt, a retired barber has introduced Blessed Christians Salt, which is sea salt blessed by an Episcopal priest. What to you think?

Karlen,
Systems Analyst
“Great, now I can go to hell for eating the wrong salt.”

Cameron Benoy,
Unemployed
“Blessed or not, I don’t care. God made bland food for a reason.”

Mike Prussman,
Apartment Maintenance
“This just might pave the way for my Lutheran hot dogs.”
