I don’t know where I should start picking out this nonsense.
Starting points may include:
Will this person please shut up?

In a new video condemning anti-gay bullying, Cindy McCain, wife of former presidential candidate John McCain, spoke out against the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy – despite the fact that her husband is currently leading the charge to filibuster its repeal in the Senate.[...]
“They can’t serve our country openly,” McCain says, adding, “our government treats the LGBT community like second class citizens, why shouldn’t [bullies]?”
This isn’t the first time McCain has publicly sparred with her husband over gay rights: In January 2010, McCain and her daughter, Meghan, appeared in an ad campaign for the same organization, which was formed in protest to the passage of California’s Proposition 8, which banned gay marriage in the state.

Update: HERE IS A COMPLETE U-TURN
Cindy McCain, the Arizona Republican Senator’s wife, made huge headlines across the country Thursday when she joined once again with the gay activist NoH8 Campaign, bucking her husband’s fervent stance against the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” andcame out in support of repeal. But late Friday night, in a dramatic about-face, Cindy McCain issued a statement via Twitter, “I fully support the NOH8 campaign and all it stands for and am proud to be a part of it. But I stand by my husband’s stance on DADT.”
[...]
This was not a nuanced clarification, but a total repudiation of what was being characterized as a brave stance. Now, she will have to endure the scorn of the seventy-eight percent of Americans who want “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” repealed, and those who see a woman chose her husband’s dwindling career over honor and protection of vulnerable children.
Yesterday’s headlines:
ABC: Cindy McCain Stands Against ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,’ and Her Husband
FOX: Cindy McCain Knocks “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”
New York Times: Cindy McCain Calls for Repeal of ‘Don’t Ask’
CBS: Cindy McCain Slams “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” in Anti-Gay Bulling Ad Campaign
Tomorrow’s headlines will not be kind.
“Did she lie today or lie yesterday? Either way, she’s a liar, and she should be removed from the NOH8 video because, as of right now, Cindy McCain is a hater. Not to mention, great message she just sent to gay youth. If someone pressures you, cave and support hate.
[...]
“Her lying homophobic face needs to be yanked from that video immediately.”
Worse, what message is she and her bigoted, controlling husband, sending to children around the world, about equality, and about the bounds of marriage?

Tata Chemicals’ Tata Salt Lite voted one of the leading brands in Complete Wellbeing survey
Tata Chemicals emerged as one of the leading brands (fourth with 37 per cent votes) under the health and happiness category in Complete Wellbeing magazine’s survey. Complete Wellbeing magazine recently commissioned a pioneering survey to identify the role of brands in the two most important pursuits of a consumer’s life — health and happiness. For the survey, respondents were asked to vote for brands they perceived as representing only health, only happiness, and finally, both health and happiness.
Speaking on the achievement Ashvini Hiran, head, consumer products business, Tata Chemicals, said, “Tata Salt Lite has been launched in the health and wellness segment for helping overall blood pressure management. This is achieved through its unique low-sodium and potassium formulation. The brand has already acquired a leadership position in this niche category which has enormous potential to grow and work towards the health of India. It is heartening to note that it has made a visible impact in just the second year of its pan-India presence. Such recognitions encourage us to focus on providing innovative solutions and raise the bar always.”
Together in all three categories, as many as 88 brands feature in the first 10 ranks — 27 in the health-only category, 15 in happiness-only category and 46 in the health and happiness category. Head & Shoulders, Maggi, Lakme, Sundrop and Dettol are some other brands that have figured in the top of the health-and-happiness list.
The survey was conducted by leading global search company Synovate for Complete Wellbeing magazine. The Complete Wellbeing Health and Happiness Brand Survey 2009 engaged respondents in the SEC A category from Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru — three cities that best represent urban India’s lifestyle choices.

Oh yeah, lower sodium content, you say? Do you just reduce the number of grams of salt by whatever percent and say that your product has lower sodium content? How else do you accomplish that when the product is basically sodium chloride?
So basically, Tata Salt Lite is not selling us salt, but rather, some other combination of white stuff that looks like salt and has lower amounts of sodium?
