I mean, they’re not just &^%$# giving it away. It costs $10. But as a note on the chalkboard of this popular Avondale burger joint on Chicago’s Northwest Side makes plain: “Price is negotiable.”

“Where’s the Beef!”
canopfor on January 7, 2009 at 10:11 PM
Where’s the Obama burger? A giant pile of baloney served between two marshmallows.
highhopes on January 7, 2009 at 10:26 PM
LOL Ed. There is no beef, just a whole lot of bologna on a stale bun.

The Obamawich- dark meat turkey and arugula on white bread.
thomasaur on January 7, 2009 at 10:34 PM
Two yeast buns hold the meat with a side of arugula.

God, I hate Chicago! Can’t we just send them all so SF, then saw off the San Andreas fault?

I will, oddly enough, be eating lunch at Kuma’s on Friday.

I don’t understand! I thought Chicago was about deep dish pizza.
“Joliet” Jake and Elwood Blues
Kini on January 8, 2009 at 12:11 AM
And I thought it was about whole fried chickens and dry white toast.
Laura in Maryland on January 8, 2009 at 12:29 AM
Sounds good to me. But, can we be careful and not saw off the part where I live? I live about three hours. To close for comfort.
sheebe on January 8, 2009 at 12:54 AM
What they forgot to do in Chicago was to THINK
Kini on January 8, 2009 at 1:13 AM

Yeah, **** me for a sandwich. Who do you think you are, Bill Clinton?

The Obama Burger: After a two year media blitz and hyped to the extreme, you get an empty plate and a bill for twice the advertised price.
The Rev. Wright Burger: Rancid meat on a moldy bun.
The McCain Burger: imported beef patty with swiss cheese, $50 lettuce, e-coli infested Mexican tomatos, Heinz ketchup, and Miracle Whip on a stale bun. Guarenteed never to agree with you.
The Biden Burger: Just kidding.
The FrankenBurger: A stolen Whopper with cheese.
The Sarah Palin: Doubble decker choice of Moose, Carribou, Elk, or Deer patties, or a combination of any two, shot, dressed, and packed by The Gov. herself! Cheese, toppings, condiments and roll of your choice. A burger for The People!
The Hillary Club: A triple decker of toasted whole wheat, bacon, lettuce, tomato, mayo, and turkey with Obama’s balls as garnish.
The Caroline Kennedy: Rare roast beef on extra-dry white bread with swiss cheese and Grey Poupon; incredibly difficult to swallow.
The Olberman: one heaping plate of BS.
The Nancy Pelosi: A small, costly meatball and marrinara sub that gives you acid indigestion just thinking about it.
The Harry Reid: dry fried chicken patty on a stale hamburger bun left under a heat lamp for a week.

funny and clever, I like it.

Offtopic, but according to Australian media you guys are outraged over it:
“Americans miffed at Howard bumping Obama”
“John Howard’s decision to stay at the luxurious Blair House mansion in Washington DC has sparked a firestorm of protest in the US.
Outraged American taxpayers are demanding the former Australian prime minister book a hotel or stay at the Australian embassy.
The story is also a hot topic on US radio and TV talk shows.
For weeks the name of the occupant booked at Blair House on January 12 was a mystery.
President-elect Barack Obama and his family asked to stay at Blair House before taking the keys to the White House but were told it was already booked.”
etc etc

If it were Louisiana Blago would be reelected.

There’s also a new martini in Chicago called the Illinois Senate Seat. A shot of impeach schnapps, a couple of shots of f’n vodka and a splash of Midori (to make green like money). Price negotiable.
