Au revoir freedom fries

Taters free to be French, again, eh?

This almost makes me sad, what with it being the end of an era and all. It's sort of like when The Gong Show was canceled: There's just no way of avoiding at least a small degree of grief over the passing of something so profoundly stupid; the retirement of freedom fries from the congressional cafeterias leaves us all with one less thing about which to feel superior to our political leaders (happily we can count on the GOP Congress to quickly find ways to fill the void).

It's been so obvious for so long that the French were right and the US was wrong on the Iraq War, that this whole thing has somewhat the same feel as when Pope John Paul
II apologized to Galileo a mere 359 years after the church condemned him: Its nice and all that, but perhaps just a bit tardy.

Still, I suppose this is progress, sort of.
