House Office Buildings to Serve "Freedom Fries"

Just wait until they get their hands on the turkey sandwich (henceforth: "Freedom sandwich"--or maybe they'll name it after an ethnic group we like, so if you buy your turkey by the pound it's a "Kurds and weigh").

I wish I knew someone I could write to who would listen and do something about it.

In further news, Ney has ordered that any congressmen having affairs with interns are now to 'Freedom Kiss' them.

(As a further note, I see that although Russia Germany and China are also firmly in the 'no war' corner, there is no moe to rename Mongolian Beef or the Russian Tea Room or hamburgers--freedom patties anyone?)

or hamburgers--freedom patties anyone?

You mean "Liberty steak", of course, with a side of "Liberty cabbage". Except that in that case, Germany was actually the side we were fighting, and not merely the object of peer pressure. *sigh*

This is one of those times when it's actually a bit frustrating to have a Congresscreature who generally is on the right side of things -- I have no one to complain to, though I'm all but certain Capuano must be opposing this insanity.

[arfur]

so...encourage him to oppose it more vigorously, and try to convince his colleagues to do the same, no?

To keep from crying, I must respond instead: "bwah hah hah hah hah!" That's hysterically funny.

In further news, the European Union announced today that "American cheese" would henceforward be known as "Chest-beating thug cheese." The British representative reluctantly abstained from the vote.

I believe that overseas "American cheese" is already known as "Eugh! What is this shite? Did you run out of Cheddar?"

Does anyone else remember the onion's headline "Nation's Grannies to Stop Making Afghans"? (Or something like that)

I hate to see reality playing catchup with satire.

The current U.S. administration has been reifying Onion articles since the start.
