37. If you're in Turkey, perhaps you could set up a row of signs like this to greet any neocons...

who come to visit Turkey... you could easily put in pictures of other people besides Bush.



For those who don't know Turkish, here's the appropriate translations to help understand them...

piç = bastard (pronounced "peach")

im = "sign of"

im piç = "sign of bastard" (pronounced "IMPEACH!")

So you see how these signs together work on many levels! :)

I lived in Ankara back in the late 60's and early 70's... Had some different issues then, but it was westernized then there in the city much like you describe Istanbul as being now. Though they didn't have McDonald's and other chain restaurants move in then like they are in there now. We could only get hamburgers on the American base there then, not that I ache for hamburgers now living back in the states at all. About the only chain they had then was Haci Bey's, which I'd like to think still exists there some place. Their Iskender Doner Kebab was the best. Have a dish for me!

I see what you are saying, and another reason that I'm having difficulty supporting Clinton as well.
