I didn't think it would be possible for any government to do anything as silly-assed stupid as ours when Congress changed french fries and french toast to freedom fries and freedom toast.

I was wrong.

In retaliation, I am no longer crocheting Afghans (ironically, the most peaceful of all the blankets). From now on, I am crocheting Yankee Doodle Cover-Ups.

In fairness, it's not the government behind the change in Iran's case.

I loved the sign I saw on the news the other day "Freedom of Expression is Western Terrorism"

That pretty much sums it up right there....

I remember freedom fries. *giggles*
The thing I always found really funny is that here in France the fries are said to come from Belgium.

Well, of course they are; there's even a region in the Netherlands called Friesland.

I was quite amused by something The Sugar Beet did at the time about LDS teens showing their patriotism with "Freedom kissing". Since it wasn't French kissing, they now had carte blanche to kiss as much as they wanted... [ROFL]

(For those who don't know, The Sugar Beet is a satire mag much like The Onion but about LDS topics; now, sadly, offline-only.)

.. and changed French kissing into Freedom kissing... French dip into Freedom dip...

Now what. Danish pot is going to be Muhammad pot?

I think this "framing the debate" BS may have gone a little too far.

Individualism through conformity! Yay! The movement has started.

I think the end of days may be nigh.
