I just... I... I don't know what to say about this.

You'd think these members of Congress would have more important things to be doing.<ul><li><a href="http://www.cnn.com/2003/ALLPOLITICS/03/13/sprj.irq.congress.france/index.html">Bill proposed to allow return of U.S. vets buried in France</a></li></ul>

Default Christopher's CNN post notes that:

the chairman of the House Administration Committee, Rep. Bob Ney, R-Ohio, ordered that House restaurants change their menus to read "freedom fries" instead of French fries.

Default What idiots, will we give the Statue of Liberty back next? Jeesh those morons...

we would not be a country but for the French. I know the issues now seem so darn important, but for crying out loud how about a little historical (not hysterical) perspective ;-)

Default I guess an unpopular opinion here...

...while I disagree with removing a fallen soldier from the other men of his company with whom he lays at rest with, I can understand the sentiment - the overwhelming anti-American attitudes of the French have been noticeable for years (long before GW was President) and as of late, untolerable.

I think we as a country need to take a look at how we support such an unfriendly ally.

end of rant.
