I have no words. I am stunned that Yahoo published it. William Randolph Hearst is rolling in his grave.

Oh...and for those of you who think I can't read... I know its opinion. Seriously people... There are limits even still.

Ironic how this Burma crisis follows the junta politics of the most recent Rambo movie.....no need to invade, just send in Sly Stallone. (notice bad-guy arm under muzzle "flash")

Why does every politican think they know something about military strategy?

Actually, it's closest to Kiev. :icon_tong

 

[phrogdriver]

Kiev is the only one of those four that is still called that. I think I get the funny...

Wasn't there a song about this sort of thing?

You sure?

You sure?

They changed the spelling, not the name.

 

[phrogdriver]

Apparently they changed the spelling. Kyiv is still pronounced the same, and many journalistic style guides are stick with the traditional English spelling. So there, smartypants!:icon_tong

 

[phrogdriver]

Flash was too quick on the draw for me, there. See, occassionally he really is fast!

 

[BACONATOR]

There are also no chicken dishes with the following in the title: "Beijing/Thailand/Mumbai/kyiv", but their other names...

 

[phrogdriver]

I do NOT want any Bombay Chicken, either. As they said in Seinfeld,"They still have the plague there. The PLAGUE! Can you believe it?"
