French Fries are history on Capitol Hill...McDonald's next?
From a story in the UK newspaper The Guardian about the renaming of French Fries on Capitol Hill:
Yesterday Republican legislators deemed the nation's favourite side dish unpatriotic, ordering the cafeterias in the US House of Representatives to change French fries to "freedom fries".
"This 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. Bob Ney, chairman of the house administration committee.
