» Freedom Fries from Karma to Burn
Well, now I've seen everything. Apparently some cafeterias in Washington have changed the name of "French Fries" and "French Toast" replacing "French" with "Freedom". CNN has the story. Link via Michele (With One "L") of A Small Victory.... [Read More]

Oui.

It is getting a little silly. Just call them chips like the Brits do if you want to change the name.

It's ironic really, From my understanding, when the fight for freedom for America was on, the French fought WITH the Americans to get rid of the British. How the tables have turned.

I'm glad they found time in their obviously busy schedules to hold a press conference to announce that.

Oi. I saw that earlier.

I've been wondering if we're going to start doing the same thing with all things Russian.

Freedom roulette has a nifty ring.

I have a better idea. Let's nuke Paris, annex France and change the name of everything there to reflect their new masters.

Nothing would piss them off more than to have to eat American bread with their Brie and wine.

Why don't they call them what English speaking countries call then - chips?

Beaker, forget that. Feed them Velveeta. And Cheez Whiz. BWAHAHAHAHA!

Wait, an extra l in Michele is wrong, but it's okay to put the extra s in asinine? Never mind; I DO want to freedom kiss you. And have some freedom onion soup. And a salad with freedom dressing.

It's a little silly, but the French are very silly, and I believe in fighting silliness with silliness. It's certainly no sillier than renaming sauerkraut, "liberty cabbage", as was done during WWI. And I'd be willing to "freedom kiss" you, Michele (one "l"). ;-)

The problem with calling them "chips", is that in the US, people would think you were talking about Ruffles™, Pringles™, etc.

Riyadh delenda est!

beaker (are you the muppet? mi mi mi):

You're cruel. American bread!

Of course I'll Freedom you ;)

I can't believe I'm the first to point out that French fries are from Belgium.

And French toast sure as hell isn't French, in ten years of living there I never once saw a Frenchie make it or even understand what I was talking about. They would have called it a bread omlette.

actually french toast DOES exist... but I think only kids eat it, and it is done with day old leftover baguettes. but in french it's called "pain perdu"... lost bread.

last week in tulsa, our mayor and his kids were on the front page of the newspaper eating 'freedom fries' at a local burgertorium. i was so po'ed that i called his office to tell them that i thought that this was the most facile, insipid thing that i had ever seen. and when i asked if he was going to stop driving his german car they didn't have anything to say. good grief!

WTF do they expect this pissing contest to achieve? Bah. 'Scuse me while I go play with my "freedom tickler" tonight. :)

Bob Ney and his idiot cronies are the reason why this country is headed for the shitter... oops, pardon my freedon.
