What's funny about all this "French" stuff...
What's funny is that all these "French" things that people are changing the names of aren't French. French fries, French toast, French dressing--I don't know who named them "French" or why, but people from France don't consider them native foods. French's mustard actually had to put out a statement saying their company isn't French in an effort to ward of a boycott.

Toy Soldiers
What about the little toy soldier easter baskets? I could have sworn we were supposed to avoid letting our kids play with guns, but it is ok to play with dolls carrying guns.
Hopefully they won't shoot the bunny baskets.

AO-Hell Had a Poll
About a month or two ago, AOL had a poll asking folks if they'd rather buy French Fries, Freedom Fries, or something else (I can't remember what). I voted for French Fries becasue, IMHO, the Freedom Fries is just going a bit too far.
What's next? Freedom Kissing instead of French Kissing?

Liberate the "French fries" ?
What on earth are we trying to prove by not calling the "French fries" that way?
Come on, lets agree, a chair is a chair !
If we do not want to stay attached to the French, what are we going to do to the statue of liberty ?
I know I have said that too many time, but the fact remains.
