Sorry to bring this back up--I'm way behind in my list reading.  A few
days before the House of Representatives worked their mojo in the
cafeteria, a small restaraunt in Beaufort, North Carolina did change their
menu to read freedom fries instead of french fries.  I picked up on it,
because I used to live not far from there.

It's somewhat understandable.  Camp Lejeune is near there.  Camp Lejeune
is the largest US Naval base on the east coast, so patriotism runs rather
high in that area.
