#1 Tom DeLay has it about right. They have isolated themselves pretty well. This french fry et al thing is pretty small potatoes (sorry, I could not help myself; I had to say it). France has a history of selling its foreign policy to middle east oil suppliers. Look at what they did in 1973. The French have backed themselves in a serious corner, and they have a very significant potential fifth column. Let France serve as a very serious lesson to all of us.

#2 Personally, I've stopped buying French bread. Now I buy weasel bread.

(It's the same stuff, baked in the local store. I just put a different name on the grocery list.)

#4 Uh, guys? "French" fries don't really have anything to do with France at all. They actually hail from Belgium - I know, I KNOW, that's not much of an improvement, but still. Actually, the "french" in "french fries" refers to the method of cutting the potatoes into long, thin strips for frying, which is called "frenching". "French-cut" green beans are called that for exactly the same reason. As a matter of fact, I vote for calling them "chips", because that's what the British call them, as in "fish and chips" (what we call potato "chips", the Brits call "crisps").

#5 Angie, that's not very precise. "Weasel bread" could be French white bread OR German black bread, right?
