Ladies and Gentlemen, your Congress at work:
Liberty Cabbage = sauerkraut (WW I)
Liberty Hound = dachsund (WW I)
Frankfurter = hot dog (WW I)
and now:
Freedom Fries.
This is all a distraction from the stories about possible abortion bans and drilling in ANWR, of course. Not to mention that the Administration now plans to stop publishing a report which shows states what they can expect (or not) from the Feds. That's purely a cost-cutting move, of course; heaven forbid the Administration would actually keep something secret.
Posted by Linkmeister at March 11, 2003 04:12 PMI swear to GAWD this stuff is getting completely out of control. If we follow this same insipid "logic" (as if French Fries are in any WAY French), we need to change a couple more things:
1) No more French kissing. Henceforth, it shall be known as "Freedom Kissing"
2) Get that stupid STATUE OF LIBERTY out of there. It's French, after all.
Ugh. The Redneckification of America is complete.

The road to hell, etc. I did hear Connie Chung ask the sponsor "with all due respect, don't you have something better to do?"
If my Rep. voted in favor I'm disowning him.
