Yes this was kinda mentioned before but I just realized something pretty funny ...
From CNN. . .
The restaurant menus in the three House office buildings will change the name of "french fries" to "freedom fries," a culinary rebuke of France, stemming from anger over the country's refusal to support the U.S. position on Iraq. Ditto for "french toast," which will now be know as "freedom toast." The name changes were spearheaded by two Republican lawmakers who plan to hold a news conference Tuesday to make the name changes official on the menus.
From the Simpsons ...
Grampa Simpson: 3 wars back we called sauerkraut Liberty Cabbage. And we called Liberty Cabbage Super Slaw.
If anybody is a huge fan like me I know you'll appreciate this

Sigh ... I was hoping to make a rare, humorous escape from the constant reiterations of this forum. Oh well, I guess you can't take the political out of the political forum

- Well, I find it stupid, and funny how they are able to name FRENCH FRIES to FREEDOM FRIES.. besides sounding WACK! Its jsut plain IDIOTIC!. Its nothing against the Republican legislators, but COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF is wrong with them??
-Instead of actually making me laught, it makes me puke of how this legislators (supposedly educated), are doing things their own ways just because of the way they feel. If I ever see a STORE with the name of FREEDOM FRIES, I swear I will up to them and go.. THIS FRIES ARE NAMED SOOOO GAAAAAAAYYY.. IM OUTTA HERE.. disgrace!

Future Simpson predictions:
Abe Simpson: Now, my story begins in 19-dickety-two. We had to say "dickety" 'cause that Kaiser had stolen our word "twenty". I chased that rascal to get it back, but gave up after dickety-six miles...
Replace Kaiser with Saddam

My last word about this "freedom" (insert food prefixed with French here) hullabaloo:
I really do feel the French are handling this whole situation in a very poor manner but I myself wouldn't go as far as to start changing menus nationwide to spite someone who honestly isn't our (main) antagonist, as Germany was in WWI.
Having said that I understand why people would be that upset with the French and its within their right to rename food items, boycott French products, not visit France, etc. However, it's also my right to think of these people as jingoistic and unreasonable dopes.
