Only difference between the Llama in the pic and the Obama Llama is that the Obama Llama has two humps, one white and one black.

+1 subby, you made me chortle.

I'd order the city chicken, maybe the city beef...

tonesskin: Pet peeve, eh.

Yes, dammit! Bob is pretty much my spokesflower.

There was a chinese restaurant in the Green Zone back in 2004.

Take-a order, preeze??

General Petraeus' Chicken? I imagine that instead of being smothered a delicious sauce it will be smothered in an absurd number of unearned medals?

Unearned Medals?

Evidence and sources please.

Also, your branch of military service and rank required.

Um, no. Sorry, but singular possessive always ends in -'s. Even if the noun ends in S. Punctuation for a singular noun is not dependent on its spelling.

This makes me crazy. It's "Petraeus's."

Pet peeve, eh.

Strunk & White Rule #1:

Form the possessive singular of nouns by adding 's

Follow this rule whatever the final consonant. Thus write,

Charles's friend
Burns's poems
the witch's malice

Exceptions are the possessive of ancient proper names ending in -es and -is, the possessive Jesus', and such forms as for conscience' sake, for righteousness' sake. But such forms as Moses' Law, Isis' Temple are commonly replaced by

the law of Moses
the temple of Isis

/Everyone should have a copy of the "little book" near their keyboard, pen and pad.

So we should celebrate that we wasted a lot of lives (4177) and a Chinese company is opening up shop?

Mission Accomplished.

You go now!!!

Guys, while I'm all for political jokes, I do demand they actually be funny. You can wack on either side, but at least try to get a chortle or two. Llama's don't have lumps at all, so that one falls flat (ahem). The second one is lamer than hell because it was a bad pun on the cover of a magazine early in the year.

I can't even give either of you 1/10. Try harder next time, please.

/Srsly, I'll laugh at good jokes at either party's expense.
//Make them funny is all I ask.

CHICKEN!

Nothing in TFA about General Petraeus' Chicken. Boring article otherwise. Subby sucks.

Indeed, for those who think harmless jokes are now racist, Chris Rock, Eddie Murphy, and Dave Chappelle would like to have a word with you.

Also, I'd love to hear the 911 call from these idiots after they've been robbed or shot.


911: 911 operator can I help you?
caller: yes, I've just been robbed
911: can you describe your attacker?
caller: yes, he was around 5'9" 192 pounds
911: any other distinguishing features?

(( now here's where it get's interesting because there are two possible answers based on his race ))

#1. caller: yes, he is white, blond hair with blue eyes and a tattoo on his arm.

#2. caller: no, nothing else jumps out at me. I'm no racist.

You're thinking of the Kerry kabobs.

Will they have Sweet and Sour Rove, or Don Rumsfeld Mien?

You are oozing desperation.

Try the Kung P.O.W. Chicken, too.

Dammit, subby, now I'm hungry.

Can you get it without RPG?

They had a Chinese restaurant when I first there 5 years ago.

Will it have Lame Duck, a la Bush?

I'll see your random blurb about the English language and raise you the AWKWARD SOUNDING rule (which would certainly apply here):

Of course, we're talking about the English language, so we're going to have some exceptions to the rule. While grammar books and style guides don't necessarily agree on how to determine these exceptions, most consider a word's pronunciation. Here is what a few of the books say:

* "If pronunciation would be awkward with the added -'s, some writers use only the apostrophe. Either use is acceptable." (Diana Hacker, A Writer's Reference)
* "Exceptions are the possessives of ancient proper names in -es and -is [such as Achilles' and Isis'], the possessive Jesus', and such forms as for conscience' sake, for righteousness' sake." (Strunk and White, The Elements of Style)
* "With some singular nouns that end in -s, pronouncing the possessive ending as a separate syllable can sound awkward; in such cases, it is acceptable to use just an apostrophe." (Kirszner & Mandell, The Brief Holt Handbook)
* "Since writers vary in the use of the apostrophe, it is not possible to make a hard and fast rule about the apostrophe in singular words ending in s.... Punctuate according to pronunciation." (John E. Warriner, English Grammar and Composition)

notmtwain Too bad they don't allow liquorin Iraq.

Liquor is freely sold in most places in Iraq. Lots of Heinekin, Everest (really strong Turkish beer), and pretty much any western booze you want.

Don't drink local whisky unless you are a masochist, though. Ick.

Will there be a Barack Hussein's Dog?

More like a wet firecracker. It's not that hard or awkward to say "Petraus's" (think of the ending of "analysis"), unless you were born with marbles in your mouth.

Yes he did Betray the democrats, he started winning a war he was suppose to lose so they could win more seats in Congress.

It is a genetic disorder, okay!

I like the notion that Petraeus is referred to as being 'weak' or 'cowardly'. For those who approve, what do you suggest as a strategy - rounding up every Iraqi there is and have them shot on sight?

Freakin geniuses, that's what you are.

No idea what those acronyms mean, but I remember seeing some soft journalism piece about a Chinese restaurant in Baghdad from back around '05. I think it was Anderson Cooper 360 or something.
