Sunday Salsa Assassination
Today there was a brutal attack on the 1400 block of P Street NW.
An innocent recycled glass jar of vegan, Fair Trade, organic, heirloom tomato salsa was smashed against cold, unforgiving concrete.
A cry was heard from the scene – bystanders thought it was either the anguish of the rehabilitated child soldier subsistence farming cooperative that hand-crafted the salsa.
Or the socially conscious, environmentally aware, enlightened consumer who just lost $12.99 + tax to the mean streets of Washington DC.
The horror. The horror.
I think the real crime here is the fact that someone is willing to pay $12.99 for a jar of salsa.
