Sigh….

New York State’s awesome legislature has today addressed a long-standing issue that needed resolution…by making corn the state vegetable.

Corn is, of course, a grain.

I am more and more reminded of George Carlin discussing news media reporting on Mickey Mouse’s birthday: “No wonder nobody takes our country seriously anymore; we spend valuable television time informing our citizens of the age of an imaginary rodent.”
