well, I got my flamewar

RESPECT, sock it to me

Yes, I got the flamewar I’ve been praying for, in the very last place I expected. Yes, it’s a little one-sided (I started it and currently have a bigger word count on that blog than he does) but just think of it as the War on Lebanon of the Northern Blogosphere.

G’wan over and see what it looks like when I fight with Pork and Beans (okay, so I'm a little cranky today!)impassioned reasoning, facts, and the angels instead of my usual bag of tricks.

It feels good, too.

I didn’t think you had the balls. Now I wonder if you have the brains.

With all due respect, hail Miss Manners, etc: Good lord, man, what have you been smoking?

Okay, almost entirely without my usual bag of tricks.

Congress Surrenders to the “French”

[yeah, I’ve heard that French Congress has always been popular in Washington]

More than three years after one of the most pathetic displays of political petulance in this once-proud nation’s history, french fries have returned to Capitol Hill.

On March 11, 2003, Congress, led by Republic Representatives Bob Ney and Walter Jones, voted to eliminate all references to France from the House cafeterias’ menus. From that day forward “freedom fries” and “freedom toast” would replace “french fries” and “french toast” respectively.

Very quietly last week, the word “french” returned to the menus.

Never mind that french fries are originally from Belgium.

The change comes as France‘s popularity among Americans far exceeds that of the President. In a recent Pew survey, 52% of Americans said they had a favorable impression of France. Just last week, only 38% of Americans said they support the president.
