You may have noticed my posting a week ago about the Palm Beach politician who is lobbying to rebuke the French — by having local restaurants officially call “french fries” by a new name.

As it turns out, this cultural revolution has reached Capitol Hill. This week, two Republican Representatives announced that they had successfully spearheaded a similar move — and from now on, all deep-fried slices of potato served in three House office buildings will be known as “freedom fries”.

One can only wonder what the cheese-eating surrender monkeys on the other side of the pond think of all this.

(Many thanks to Marc for passing this along!)
