Congressional Chef Renames Chicken-Fried Steak
(2003-03-11) -- Just a day after the head chef of the U.S. Congressional cafeterias changed the name of French Fries to Freedom Fries, he announced France would still have a place on the Congressional menu. Buy "Axis of Weasels," the first book by Scott Ott. $12.95 + S&H; Comments

And Kentucky Fried Chicken announced that they will be renamed French Fried Chicken until the they start showing that they are more than yellow, back-stabbing, cheese-eating surrender monkeys.

Posted by: James Joyner at March 11, 2003 05:41 PMFrench products and companies to boycott: http://nikita_demosthenes.blogspot.com/ Posted by: nikita demosthenes at March 11, 2003 06:02 PMIn order to add salt to the wound, Congress passed a bill (100-0) stating that McDonalds would rename all of their [terrible] food with the word French included. Now, McDonalds is serving French McNuggets, Shake-the French-up Salads, and the new WhopFrench burger. Posted by: Paul C. Tindall at March 11, 2003 06:25 PMFrench-Fried Steak! Very creative. A much better zinger than naming "French Fries" to "Freedom Fries". Anything with the word "chicken" in it should become "French", ie: French McNuggets. Posted by: ZigZag at March 11, 2003 06:43 PMAnother way to diss the French is to deliberately speak their language badly. Posted by: Xrlq at March 11, 2003 07:32 PMThis link has excerpts from a speech by Neville Chamberlain circa 1939. Sound familiar? Sorry Scott, I know this is a satire site, but I would like to post a link to a Pro-America song. It was on Hannity and Colmes last night, and is at, www.hannity.com. You can download the song, please spend 3 minutes and 45 seconds to listen, as a lot of radio station are refusing to play it. They will play Mellencamp's anti-war song, but not Darryl Worley's, Why? After you go to www.hannity.com, scroll down to, Hannity's Pro-American Song Club, "Have You Forgotten", then click on the song. It's free, what have you got to lose? Posted by: Susan Serin-Done at March 11, 2003 08:27 PMsusan the song is great :) its seems we have some fox news fans what's the new slang term for chipped beef on toast? A frenchman on a shingle ahhahahahahahahahhaha. Posted by: Gin Blossom at March 11, 2003 10:15 PMA.P.A. ANNOUNCES NEW RETARDATION TERMINOLOGY Responding to frequent complaints that the designations used in the categorization scheme for ranking low levels of intelligence are too stimatizing, the American Pyschology Association has revised the terminology as follows:
IQ between 36-51 will be termed 'Belgian' instead of 'imbecile' IQ between 20-35 will be termed 'French' instead of 'idiot' The designation for an IQ under 20 will not be changed in the new scheme, and will still be called 'Democrat' Posted by: Keith at March 11, 2003 11:36 PMA bit off topic, but here is a short history on how "french fries" got their name. Hint, they gave the wrong Paris credit. LOL. http://www.texasescapes.com/AllThingsHistorical/InventingHamburgerFrenchFriesBB602.htm Posted by: Kestrel at March 12, 2003 06:06 AMGreat story Kestrel! I'll order Paris, Texas fries next time! Posted by: Susan Serin-Done at March 12, 2003 06:33 AMWhenever I am confronted by or confront a vocal supporter of the Peace Movement, before engaging that individual in any kind of debate or discussion, I first ask if he or she demonstrated against the Clinton excursions into Kosovo, Serbia, and Africa, or against the Clinton missile attack on Iraq. If the response is "no", I dismiss the person and the argument as spurious. I see these people as attackers of President Bush, who will be up for re-election in less than two years. This means that the activism in which these people cloak themselves is nothing more than campaign politics, and, at this time, I have no interest in political campaigns. Sometimes, if I am in an ill humour, I might indulge in a little invective at the expense of the poor misguided soul, but, by and large, I just go my merry way. I am sure that my position is not unique, and that these folks have a set of stock answers (read excuses) for the Clinton adventures so if any poster out there can enlighten me, I would greatly appreciate it. Posted by: Joseph at March 12, 2003 10:47 AMJoseph - EXACTLY my sentiments. Their tactics are so transparent, only the people with "French" "Belgium" or "German" IQs are taken in. Posted by: AHA at March 12, 2003 11:01 AMKeith, Joseph, Kestral, I liked this one from another website: Beth, Here is our plan in France: 1) The US prepare a resolution to attack North Korea because they have kiked out their inspectors and they have nuclear weapons. 2)France is using it's veto because we are weasels.Mr Bush is furious and declares French kissing illegal. 3)Mr Bush is advised that the missile shield system is finally working and decides to strike first. 4)North Korea is destroyed and so is part of North America because the missile shield system was not so good after all. 5)The French rediscover America and decide that as the new superpower,it's their turn to rule the world. Could you all imagine if France was left to rule America! Look what kind of history they have and what they have done to that poor area of the world. I would think God would take one look at that and decide enough is enough and just have a big meteor smack the earth. Which reminds me, did any of you get some sick sadistic pleasure watching Armageddon (with Bruce Willis) and see Paris get wasted. ahhh, if only life was fair... Posted by: Justin at March 12, 2003 05:25 PMI guess you just have a sadistic pleasure watching things get destroyed and people having foam bats strategicaly placed. This kind of action is typical of American culture. OFF, you are in serious need of a sense of humor! It is arrogant little pissants like yourself that give France a bad name. Have to admit I wasn't too crazy about NATO bombing the Balkans for 88 days straight, was shocked at the photos I saw, blown up graveyards, bombing that T.V. station, the China embassy. Complete Landscaping...Inground Swimming Pools -Call NATO Now. "when precise location isn't critical". But you're right. Wasn't much protestin' going on. Maybe I was the only one. Posted by: ledonquelais at March 12, 2003 09:57 PMFrance the new superpower? When were they promoted ahead of Togo, Costa Rica, and Lichtenstein? Posted by: chickenfriedsteak at March 13, 2003 04:22 AMOFF, at first I saw your point about wishing that a bunch of girl scouts would strategicall place foam bats into Chrirac, but then I realized that the guy is an anti-american jerk-off. He hates America and that is it. He will do anything to try and make us look bad or cause us trouble. He even started giving the former soviet satalite countries crap because they were to "pro-american" and therefore wanted to block their entry into the EU. What a jerk, who does he think he is. I could say that he truly suffers from a Napoleonic syndrome. ledonquelais: I have heard yesterday that 70% of New Yorkers are against this war. I think they realise that We have had to deal with it for decades in France with bomb squads runing around our metro and people getting blown up on a weekly basis. The conservative vote in the US comes mostly from small cities and rural areas where people think they will not be affected by terrorism. Chirac is not Anti-American, he doesn't necessarily look down at any idea that is not from France. He is just Anti-stupidity. I have no doubt that the US can get a victory over the weak Iraqi army.I can't wait to see what will happen when you occupy Iraq. During the last gulf war,Mr Bush senior(who I respect a lot more than dubbya) realised he could not control Iraq and asked the military to get out of it. Is Bush Jr really the president anyway ? By the way, I am more than happy to live in France and I don't need a green card, Thank you. Posted by: frogwatch at March 14, 2003 03:07 AMOkay, Froggy, you are an easy mark baby. Response to each of your paragraphs: 1. You heard wrong. And you claim that if we respond in strength against terrorists they will keep fighting? Guess we'll find out. France, however, never will. Terrorism is guerilla war, you cannot fight it with tanks and missiles. Look at your friends the Israelis who are invading Palestinian territories.They regularly send their tanks to kill some Arabs thinking it will keep them quite. Concerning my comment: Herr Frosch Maybe It was just someone imitating James Baker and Scowcroft. Or maybe I heard wrong again... No, not only what I say. In fact, your statement "what you say is fact" proves that you too are indeed capable of reciting facts. Posted by: greyhawk at March 14, 2003 12:46 PMGreyhawk, frogwatch; We have implimented a new yellow card especially for the French. If Chriaq was really anti-stupidity.. he would be advocting the UN lead by US and UK forces, invade France and liberate you too. Posted by: Phrog Poet at March 16, 2003 12:56 AMShould have named it "Chicken-French Steak." With the way the world is getting screwed up the jokes are begining to make more sense than the reality! Posted by: calman1949 at March 16, 2003 10:00 AM" he missed all the other specials that would tell him that the military and the UN told him not to occupy Iraq during the 1st Gulf War. We had authorization to free Kuwait and anything else would upset a lot of people and go against the UN mandate. " For once I agree with you. Regarding our economy, have you seen the state of your economy, your trade balance deficit and the bill for the war? Posted by: frogwatch at March 17, 2003 06:15 AMWe're glad of what they did to you
by Shirley-Anne MacKellar So now you care about what Puapua new Guinea thinks? Sorry, we don't have the Nevada desert to do our testing. And we don't need the United-states to tell us what to think and do. Posted by: frogwatch at March 20, 2003 05:29 PMFrogwatch, And don't be so condescending about geography. You french always seem to try and put yourselves higher than us and it gets old. Try and show some intellectual respect and if you can't you can always go the the other side of the web (the porn area that you are so familiar with). Posted by: Justin at March 20, 2003 06:58 PMJustin you and Frogwatch need to grow up and smell the roses. You live in fairly decent countries where a difference of opinion is allowed, where a man can run for president without having to bootlick someon'e shoes by joing the noisier party. Unfortunately for us, that is not the case. While you guys are squabbling about Iraq, cheese and such like things, we Zimbabweans live in a climate of uncertainty, where a president elected in 1980 is presiding over a corrupt, morally bankrupt government that is gobbling up farms all in the name of "Land Reform". These farms and their produce are being shared among the Zanu pf big cats and their apologists. These people use the farms as weekend playgrounds, where they shoot the cattle, braai the meat and have themselves a high old time with some beer. They have no knowledge or skill in farming, so they grow jack on these farms. And though there is widespread support for the idea of voting in the opposition party, people are leery about their chances once they become known as activists. We all remember the mysterious bombing of Herbert Chitepo's car in Zambia before Independence, the assassination of Josiah Tongorara, the disappearance of Rashiwe Guzha, the TWENTY THOUSAND MATABELE WOMEN, MEN AND CHILDREN BUTCHERED IN THE GURAKUHUNDI MASSACRE after Independence. Ah, but you say, President Bush pushed for sanctions against our El Presidente. True, but when he came to Africa, instead of using that golden opportunity to "throw down" on our "beloved leader", Bush modified his stance, and watching Zimbabweans groaned in dismay, as the world's most powerful leader deprived us of any hope that our leader would be brought to heel. Chirac did worse, inviting our dictator to France for a conference. When there was a hue and cry, he said he believed no African leader would attend the summit without our honourable murderer in attendance. So like I say, you guys need to grow up. Cos things ain't half as bad for you as they are for us. And that is the truth. By The Way: our dishonourable minister of information has a plan to aquire new spy software which will allow him to eavesdrop on mails like this. -B Posted by: Bryan at August 18, 2003 04:00 PM |
