Freedom Fries. Freedon Toast. Freedom Vanilla ice cream.
*shakes his head* And yet, I'm the crazy one. Simply because I leave no mud pit undisturbed.

That was crazy.
And stupid. I'm pretty sure the rest of the world just looked at us and went, "What the f*ck is wrong with them?" to each other.

And I don't think it's changed much. In fact, they probably are saying that more than ever.
But yes, that was ridiculous.

I'm going to go home and have me some liberty cabbage.
I thought the French embassies response was funny. First of all the french don't call them french fries. Also, they believe they came from Belgium. The french part was added to the name by Americans who can't read a map.
Any way the french response during the whole name calling before the invasion of Iraq was:
---------
The French embassy made no comment, except to note that French fries are Belgian. "We are at a very serious moment dealing with very serious issues and we are not focusing on the name you give to potatoes," said Nathalie Loisau, an embassy spokeswoman.

The moronic thing about it is that french fries were invented in Belgium, not France.

I like oppression fries with a grain of salt. Much tastier. Also, I was doing a very good job at forgetting this until it was brought back up. Now look what you did, I'm shaking my head again.
