Dumb & Dumber

This is lame. I'm just not sure which part is more lame. The AP is reporting that French Fries no longer exist in the halls of Congress. They are now called Freedom Fries. And at breakfast, our legislators will be eating Freedom Toast. Not exactly a move that will strike fear into the hearts of our enemies, but Congress is entitled (some would say required) to make low substance announcements.

What really strikes me as truly lame is that the French embassy was questioned about this (never mind anything like the Iraq situation) and they actually denied any connection to French fries - claiming they actually came from Belgium! Is Belgium the scapegoat for anything offensive that comes out of Europe?

We really need to start focusing the world's leadership on something more than deep-fried potatoes.
