Newsflash: Congress is full of morons. French fries now to be called "freedom fries" in House cafeterias. Says Congressman Bob Ney: "the French government comes around we can get back to talking about french fries." Ney is also expected to claim that he is not making America look even more stupid than it already does aroud the world. Meanwhile, France is furious:

The French Embassy in Washington had no immediate comment, except to say that french fries actually come from Belgium. [link]

Americans are pouring their hearts out in thanks to Walter Jones and Bob Ney for taking time out of their cup-and-ball game to devise this cunning strategem. Surely France will be hours very soon...
