Dumbass Has a Change of Heart

The Guardian | French fries protester regrets war jibe

Jones said his "freedom fries" idea came from God. Does that mean Jesus was working off bad intelligence as well?

"Mr Jones, who in March 2003 circulated a letter demanding that the three cafeterias in the House of Representatives' office buildings ban the word french from menus, ... made headlines around the world, both for what it said about US-French relations and its pettiness.

Now Mr Jones appears to agree. Asked by a reporter for the North Carolina News and Observer about the name-change campaign - an idea Mr Jones said at the time came to him by a combination of God's hand and a constituent's request - he replied: 'I wish it had never happened.'"
