House cafeterias change names for 'french fries' and 'french toast'
OK, many stupid things are being done right now, and in the grand scheme of things, maybe this isn't the stupidest... but it's hard to see that right now. How much precious time did these stupid lawmakers spend on this issue, and do they have no sense of how moronic they look?
I mean, "freedom fries"?
In this country, freedom certainly does fry...
(Anyone for freedom kissing?)

Restaurant serves 'freedom fries'
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The cafeteria menus in the three House office buildings changed the name of "french fries" to "freedom fries," in a culinary rebuke of France stemming from anger over the country's refusal to support the U.S. position on Iraq.
Ditto for "french toast," which will be known as "freedom toast."
The name changes were spearheaded by two Republican lawmakers who held a news conference Tuesday to make the name changes official on the menus.
