The Washington Post column In the Loop is now running a contest to rename the US Embassy in Baghdad, now that it appears that the State Department really doesn’t need it all for diplomacy or whatever they thought six weeks ago in their meth-fueled fantasies was going to require 16,000 staff.

Contest rules are simple: Simply tell The Loop what the United States should do with the compound and — this is a two-parter — name the new facility (or facilities, if that’s the plan).

Enter online today for fabulous prizes! You can also see the current entries, posted online.

Good God, at the rate the State Department in Iraq is generating satire, I’m not gonna have any material left for this blog in a week or two. Then again, nah, they’ll come through for me.
