The funny thing about Yemen?

You can substitute one letter of the country's name with the letter "S" and make a funny word!

"Yemes"

Isn't that a funny word?

I swear, we need to split NJ down the middle and create a North Jersey and South Jersey. The image of New Jersey is that of North Jersey.

South Jersey is just a bunch of facepalms at the caricature of North Jersey.

When contacted for comment a government spokesman said, "Yemen, we're really upset."

So does the US. You're free to say anything that's popular, everything else can go from generic shunning to you losing your livelihood. America has it's own dynamic equilibrium that keeps the real truth from most people. Media is all controlled, anyone bringing a bucket of ugly truth to the table is ignored as a "nut". Everything is managed just as effectively as it is in a totalitarian state, with the added bonus of an effective control on radicals.

THIS.

I've lived in two different towns in two different counties in South NJ for about 12 years and have never seen a guido nor do I see that many factories or industrial areas. South NJ really is a nice place.

My aunt and uncle used to live in Mahwah. Stunningly beautiful and a clue as to the origin of the state's name.

Headline: Yemen government irritated by a New Jersey blogger, though, in fairness, New Jersey pretty much irritates everybody

It should either be "Yemeni government" or "Government of Yemen". Saying "Yemen government" is like saying "America government" or "China government", you sound like a goddamn caveman.

/sry, pet peeve

I grew up in Yemen in the 1960s. Sad to say that the Yemeni people are worse off now, with electricity and cellphones and roads and mass media, than they were without those things. At least the hereditary monarchy that fell in 1962 made no pretense about being "fairly elected" while oppressing them at the same time.

Isn't Yemen like the most backward of all the Arab countries?

/Also, what is this lady's fark tag?
