No more 'freedom fries'?
The Guardian says that the Congressman who led the campaign to change 'French fries' to 'freedom fries' has changed his mind. According to The Guardian, Rep. Walter B. Jones, R-NC, told the News & Observer in Raleigh that "it was meant as a "light-hearted gesture"", but that now "I wish it had never happened." and that now he believes the US went to war "with no justification". The original story in the News & Observer doesn't seem to be available on their Website. posted by liz at 2:45 PM
