The Economist and the Head of Lettuce

LZ Granderson: If I were an American politician or political operative, I would very much keep an eye on what a national currency collapse looks like in terms of your domestic politics. A thing that is no longer worth our time now that it has ended, but which has retroactively been demonstrated as very much worth everybody's time was the Daily Star set up a live stream with a picture of Liz Trust and a head of lettuce. Lettuce triumphed; although they've dressed it up some, it's got a wig and googly eyes and glasses now, but it is the definitive winner of the competition.
