Kale to the Chief


Posted at 12:01 am by Jon Bauer, Herald staff

The greening of the presidency: President Barack Obama has joined the hallowed ranks that include great Americans such as George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and SpongeBob Squarepants. Obama has his own Chia head, the clay figurines that grow sprouts for hair.

This does solve the problem of what to give foreign heads of state as a gift when they visit the White House.

Just watering the garden, mum: England’s National Trust, which manages stately Wimpole Hall as a tourist attraction, has advised its male gardening staff to — ahem — “relieve” themselves outdoors rather than use the flush toilets indoors, thus saving water.

It’s a shame Benny Hill isn’t still with us to turn this into a skit with “Yakety Sax” playing in the background.

One toke over the line: Two Mountlake Terrace men say they may file suit against the city after it rejected their application for a business license for a medical marijuana dispensary. Washington state law allows physicians to prescribe marijuana but is silent on how patients can obtain it.

Our advice to the prospective medical marijuana entrepreneurs: You can inhale, but don’t hold your breath.
