Hollering into the void since 2002

Now I just need some really good crackers to go with it

The government is now selling peanut butter. Not any old peanut butter, mind you. This is standard peanut butter (New York Times link, registration required), the reference used to define peanut butter, much like the platinum brick in a vault in France that’s used to define the kilogram. And now you can get your own standard reference peanut butter for only $425 for a set of three six ounce jars. Such a bargain! Anyone who ever wanted one of those $800 government screwdrivers should snap this right up. And you’ll no doubt be delighted to discover that the government takes Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. What, no PayPal?
