I actually have a hard time reading the news on the radio, period.

smartass as ever
French Vanilla becomes Freedom Vanilla
The French Connection becomes The Freedom Connection
This all just stupid.
I, for one, will not be happy until reruns of Family Affair are dubbed with “Mr. Freedom.”
It seems New Guinea has elected to support us in the war effort.
This is comforting, as I just couldn’t deal with Freedom Pigs.

Last night I freedom-braided my hair. My husband said it looked nice, so I gave him a nice, big freedom kiss.
Yesterday I had a nice piece of freedom sole for supper, with a lovely side of freedom beans. I looked out the freedom windows in the restaurant, and saw none other than Daniel Chester Freedom, the guy who carved the statue of Lincoln in the Lincoln memorial. He was walking down the street, playing a freedom horn. I did a freedom leave, ripping off the waiter, and chased after him down the street. I sicced my freedom pie on him, but he beat it off with a stick that had a nice freedom polish. My poor bird went flying on to a nearby freedom roof, and it took me hours to coax it down.
And how can we not mention the Freedom tickler?
NurseCarmen beat you to it, gobear, back on page one.
Not that it doesn’t bear mentioning twice… 
Well, shucks. I guess I’ll take freedom leave, then.
Unfortunately I bet a lot of people are happy with this.
Can I be happy about if it it means never seeing another thread on the origin of french fries?
Does this mean that thousands of high school kids don’t have to study for their freedom vocab tests?
And French dip is now going to be Freedom dip. French’s[sup]TM[/sup] mustard will be Freedom’s[sup]TM[/sup] mustard.
You know who I feel bad for? French Stewart.
Wasn’t liberty cabbage renamed because it was originally called Saurkraut, “Kraut” being a derogatory term for Germans?
I feel sorry for the Freedoms still living in this country: as Kermit the Liberty sang, “It’s not easy being Green.”

Yes, and hamburgers were called “liberty steaks”, presumably because of the offensive “Hamburg” reference.
Check out this article in Slate. I agree.
So here’s a question: Given that the Spanish gov’t supports the war, but 90% of Spaniards are against it and held some of the largest protests in the world last month, … are you allowed to eat paella or not?
I can see this getting to be a problem. There are, or so I’ve heard, over 600 types of cheese, many of which have French names. Are there that many synonyms for freedom?
What about the Swiss? They tend to be neutral, and if you’re not for us…
I get this picture of a guy in the newly renamed city of Red Stick, Georgiana, saying “I’ll have a ham and Freedom on rye, with Freedom’s mustard and a little bit of Freedom dressing, and a side of Freedom fries. For desert, I think the Freedom vanilla ice cream sounds good, and a cup of coffee o’ Freedom.”
“Now we haven’t got cabbage!” ?
That can’t be right.
Damn, I wish I still had my Freedom-to-English dictionary, but the government confiscated it…
“Get your French Roast right here!”
