Okay, one can be righteously pissed at Chirac and the French government, but the backlash is going over the edge a bit. Changing the name of the French fries was a good joke, but the House cafeteria actually did it. Okay, ha ha, and all that.

Then there's the boycott stuff, which is okay too. It's a free country, and a legitimate way to show your opinion.

But IMHO this is going a bit far. At some point, this will all die down again, and Chirac (Ver) will be gone. There are, believe it or not, a lot of French people who do not feel as their government does, and I heard a letter read on the radio from a French veteran of WWII who is still grateful to the Americans and wrote to the widow of an American soldier buried in France to tell her so.

But meanwhile, at least keep the jokes coming!
