I'm for the war and generally pro-french bashing but damn is that dumb. Really dumb.

What I want now is for another restaurant to protest civil liberty infringements by renaming its food...

If they want to change the name to protest they should have changed it to French Canadian Fries

But then people would think it was poutine.

Actually I think saurkraut was called "victory cabbage". That's also when people stopped eating frankfurters. I'm not sure if that's when the name "hot dogs" became common or not.

WWI is the reason my grandfather didn't speak any German but his two older sisters did. Why it would have mattered considering they lived in rural Iowa surrounded by people just like them, but I guess it wasn't "American" to speak German at that time. Not that the Amish in the area cared.

Patriot or Quebec kissing.

Hey, the restaurant better remove those french ticklers from the vending machine in the guy's washroom (or at least rename them to something more patriotic like George W. Bush ticklers!).

I said it before on another board....some Americans are somewhat dumb people in certain matters....and I swear most of them do it just for the publicity. The whole basis for Jerry Springer and Ricky Lake.

It can be embarassing to be an American sometimes. Note the location of Cubbie's diner, however.
Liberty Measles is the stupidest fucking thing I've come across today, and I've been reading THE AMBASSADOR's posts in SLAM....

'Victory Cabbage?' 'Freedom Fries?' How about 'Triumph-over-the-terrorists Nights'!

Liberty measles almost sounds like a disease you'd want to come down with. Like the orgasm pox or something.

German pinschers should be renamed Liberty Pinschers.
