Pass The Salt

Things haven't been going Mayor Mike Bloomberg's way as of late. First employees of his company were busted for spying on Goldman Sachs. Then some smart asses at a place called House of Cupcakes baked up a huge 36,000 calorie cup cake.
“Its got over 12 pounds of sugar, five pounds of butter, four pounds of flour, six cups of cocoa powder, 24 eggs, two cups of milk,” said owner and cupcake creator Ron Bzdewk swelling with pride.
The nation's tiniest mayor was not amused. “This is one of the dumbest things people have done, but if they can get some publicity, this is not a joke. People are dying.”

Hiz Honor doesn't have much of a sense humor. The New York Supreme Court tossed out his ban on 64oz soda s calling it " arbitrary and capricious". Maybe one of the justices should have told him to grow up. The piece de resistance was served up today by the Institute of Medicine which did a study for the Center for Disease Control It announced that it could find no benefits in sharply reducing salt in ones diet. Studies such as that rely controlled groups and while insightful don't measure up to applied innate wisdom and superstition as used by Bloomberg.
