It looks bad but I’m betting that was the product description for a large purchase.
See http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2296746/posts, folks, it just gets better. Drudge picked this up! And a bunch of other, similar examples.
Sure: it was for a large purchase. Sec’y Vilsack got all up on his hind legs to protest, saying the cost was actually $1.50 a pound.
Annnnd... as Drudge found in a few minutes’ googling, you can get better ham for half the cost at Food Lion!
This is how the game is played, folks. Ridicule is our most potent weapon for turning the tide in 2010. And this crew is providing us with many gifts with which to bludgeon ‘em.
Enjoy!
