The lovely and talented Clive, who runs the lovely and talented Collision Detection "web log" when he is not drinking too much coffee or nervously crashing video game cars, sent me a link to a news story from Palm Beach, Florida. Reading it, I learned that a county commissioner there named Burt Aaronson wants his County Commission to officially change the name of french fries to "Freedom fries."

What a good idea. Everyone knows the French do not eat food like that.

I've heard they like to eat large servings of fresh vegetables, and alongside they have small portions of perfectly-roasted rare meats, which are themselves dabbed with exquisitely-seasoned cream sauces. On the side they have a glass of 1961 Chateau Latour Pauillac.

And sometimes they have a big long loaf of bread whose name sounds like a homophobic slur. This is a family "web log" so I will not print it here.
