Radiation, radishes & ridicule for Mrs. Obama

It looks like old-guard Soviets may be beaming radiation at the White House again. That is Rocky’s explanation for the rapid and bountiful vegetation growing in the new White House garden.

On March 19th, the New York Times reported that First Lady Michelle Obama would plant a White House vegetable garden. [Click here.]

Less than 90 days later, Mrs. O and the students from the Bancroft Elementary School were back at the White House harvesting waist-high crops.

Crops cannot grow this fast (except in the Amazon), so Rocky offers two more explanations for the improbable bounty:

1) Genetically modified crops. Seriously modified.
2) Global warming. In Washington, there is so much hot air that the growing season starts early.

Most likely the crops were planted fully grown — and it’s just a photo opportunity. This sure isn’t Eleanor Roosevelt’s Victory Garden !
