Sitting in the sun, reading a book by Lee Iacoccca.

I had to smile when he was talking about how Congress, after feeling betrayed by France refusing to support GW in attacking Iran, insisted the fries in their three cafeterias be renamed "freedom fries".

France didn't respond except to mention that French fries actually come from Belgium.

He also pointed out we should be happy they didn't ban the word French from our vocabulary or we would have been "freedom-kissing" and having "freedom toast" for breakfast.

Just an aside, Benjamin Franklin spent years courting France before they agreed to finance the American revolution, providing us with money, arms, equipment, naval support, and soldiers for the endeavor. In all, the French spent about 1.3 billion livres (in modern currency, approximately thirteen billion U.S. dollars) to support the Americans directly, not including the money it spent fighting Britain on land and sea outside the U.S.
