MACDILL AIR FORCE BASE, Florida (Reuters) -- On President Bush's Air Force One flight to Florida Wednesday it was au revoir French toast, hello "Freedom toast."
"Stuffed Freedom Toast" topped the breakfast menu, in a subtle slap at the French for helping to confound U.S. attempts to get the U.N. Security Council to authorize military force against Iraq.
The name change for the venerable breakfast dish -- in this case stuffed with cream cheese -- followed similar moves by the U.S. Congress and some restaurants across the country to change "French fries" to "Freedom fries."
White House spokesman Ari Fleischer, asked about the newly titled "Freedom toast," smiled and said, "We're always proud of the men and women of our Air Force."

I can't wait until the GOP and the President stop fiddle-fucking around with taking pokes at France. Why don't they spend this enormous amount of free time they apparently have and SOLVE OUR FUCKING ECONOMY ISSUES??? Why don't they stop setting back US/European relations to pre-Revolutionary War times, and do something about the fact that nearly every able-bodied working American's retirement fund has bottomed out?
Stop playing word games and do some goddamn work, assholes!
