China and Russia Are Snubbing American Chicken
U.S. poultry producers are suffering as leg and thigh exports wither

http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/china-and-russia-are-snubbing-american-chicken-07282011.html

*snip*
Beijing last year imposed tariffs on American chicken in retaliation for duties the U.S. placed on Chinese tires. That helped send exports to the mainland in 2010 plunging by 85 percent, to 103,485 metric tons, according to the USA Poultry & Egg Export Council. In Russia, sales took off in the early 1990s when President George H.W. Bush authorized shipments as economic aid—earning U.S. chicken the moniker “Bush legs.” Now, Moscow has cut import quotas for poultry as the government tries to wean the country from imported food. U.S. chicken exports to Russia fell 55 percent, to 331,540 metric tons, last year, the Poultry & Egg Council reports. Total U.S. chicken exports will fall 3.3 percent this year, the U.S. Agriculture Dept. predicts

“Well, take my cock and pullet.”

Isn’t there something in The Rules about when a PUN WARNING should be attached to a post?
