I just heard that the Capitol cafeteria has stopped serving "Freedom Fries" and has gone back to "French Fries."
Well, I guess that settles it, right? Presumably the French are dancing in the street and waving American flags, and Jacques Chirac can finally get some solid sleep again?
No, not really. I just heard a French analyst on BBC saying the whole issue was "daft and useless." (I like that, nice and concise analysis.)
Great that people in Washington are spending time thinking about what to name French Fries instead of, I don't know, the wars in Lebanon, Iraq and Afghanistan, global warming, the Iranian nuclear weapons program, the North Korean ballistic missile program, the energy crisis, the staggering national deficit...
I could go on but it just makes my head hurt.
