Droll Coincidence

My home page at My Yahoo displays, among other things, today's headlines from the New York Times. Today's NYT headlines include the following two items, adjacent to one another:

Obamas to Plant Vegetable Garden at White House
Dispensers of Marijuana Find Relief in Policy Shift

Marijuana could be classed as a vegetable or herb. Do you think somebody at the NYT has a sense of humor?

I have this image of the Obamas growing some 'purely medicinal' weed at the White House, carefully tended by a GS-5 on loan from USDA-Beltsville. That would be the kind of change a lot of my boomer friends who voted for The One could hope for.
