Head of Cabbage of State
Fafblog’s choice for Man of the Year is in, and it makes a hell of a lot more sense than Time magazine’s choice.
Here is a snippet:
A head of cabbage always offered us steady leadership in times of change. When we wonder “what’s goin on in this crazy world I do not understand” there’s a head a cabbage bein a head a cabbage! Its reassuring vegetableness, its green leafiness, the way it looked natural on a farm, spoke to our deep cabbagey values. And it knew how to stick to its guns! When its critics complained that it was a bad cabbage or that it had food poisoning or that it had pointlessly launched the military into a nightmarish, unjustified quagmire, it knew just what to do: keep sittin there bein a cabbage.
Bein a cabbage, a head of cabbage isn’t that smart. But it also knows that it’s not that smart and listens to other the other cabbages around it which makes it an excellent cabbage manager! Some people say a buncha cabbages will just keep makin stupid mistakes, but the important thing is they will never admit them.
