Remember a couple years ago when congress voted to change the name of "French Fries" to "Freedom Frie"s because they were mad that France didn't think a war in Iraq was a good idea? (House cafeterias change names for 'french' fries and 'french' toast)
Yeah, well, they changed it back this week with very little fanfare and with their tails between their legs.
Several Republican staffers and lawmakers suggest that the change isn't worth investigating, unlike the eagerness in March 2003 to get into the headlines about patriotism on the menu.
I wonder what it cost us to have that stupid piece of legislated semantics shoved down our throats?
This is the same congress that shot down a 25-cent increase in the minimum wage this week.
They don't want to talk about that one either.
