Just in time for the runner up Depression the White House is planting a
vegetable garden. Drop the jokes. Watermelons are fruits.
What is going to happen? Someone is going to add up the total cost of this
garden and find the cost per carrot is around $1000. The Great Giwer sees
all and knows all. The future is open to me.
After a couple photo ops breaking ground and the cute kids planting
something the day to day work will be done by the White House staff. This is
staff that can pass a background check. This is staff that knows what it is
doing so the garden will not be a failure. It must be lush and photogenic
and no weeds to spoil the tourist pictures or even worse New York Times
pictures. People who can do all this and pass a background check don't come
cheap. Maybe this can be safely handled by the existing grounds keeping
staff.
There will be the 24/7 Secret Service guards. No one wants it vandalized.
Even less do they want marijuana planted. Nor do they want human feces as
fertilizer or poisons added to the soil.
The cost is going to be significant. Worse than the ridicule of the price
per carrot will be Pills Limbaugh drawing a bombastic moral lesson in a half
hour monologue.
You read it first here.
