Actually, on second thought, half of the story is about toast. It's amazing what those Republicants can think up; they must have GOP fry cooks, or the seventh sign of the apocolypse will surely take place!!! At least they realized the name change was pure symbolism.

French fries axed in fit of pique

22 minutes ago

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - France's refusal to back a possible U.S.-led attack of Iraq has triggered a verbal food fight in the restaurants of the U.S. House of Representatives as "French fries" and "French toast" are replaced on menus by "Freedom fries" and "Freedom toast."

"This action today is a small, but symbolic effort to show the strong displeasure of many on Capitol Hill with the actions of our so-called ally, France," said House Administration Committee Chairman Bob Ney, an Ohio Republican.

Ney's panel is in charge of the House's administrative needs. He took the action at the suggestion of Rep. Walter Jones, a North Carolina Republican.

"I am grateful to Mr. Ney for standing with me today as we publicly declare our support for our nation's troops and our sincere disappointment in our old friends, the French," Jones said on Tuesday.
