I want to like them, I really do.   I [...]

“Can that which is unsavory be eaten without salt?  Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?  The Bible, Job 6:6 If Brooklyn, NY assemblyman Felix Oritz gets his way, salt will go the way of trans fats in New York State and be banned.   In response to this absurd proposal, The New [...]

First off, and don’t shoot the messenger, my Irish friends, St. Patrick wasn’t Irish.  What????  [...]
