"Roses of the Prophet Muhammed"

Oh, man.

So, when we were all pissed off at France when they didn't support us in Iraq, two Republican members of Congress spearheaded a movement to rename French Fries "Freedom Fries" and French Toast "Freedom Toast."

This was a stupid thing to do. For two reasons:

1. It was just childish. First-grade level at best.
   
2. It was done badly. If you had to rename French Fries and French Toast, they should have been renamed to it to something like "We give up rather quickly in major land wars Fries" and "How did we know they'd go around the Maginot Line Toast." Something like that.

Of course Iran, which is my hands-down winner of Most Insane and Dangerous Country on the Planet, decided to make sure we didn't outdumb them: today, they renamed Danish Patries to "Roses of the Phrophet Muhammed."

Oh. My. God.

First of all, that doesn't sound tasty at all. Second of all, it does sound blasphemous. I mean, you eat them, for pete's sake. I can't imagine buying a candy called "Tribute to Jesus" or "Moses and Chips." Although I guess Christmas cookies and Hamantashen are kind of along those lines. I guess.

But if you're so incensed over a cartoon about your holiest of phrophets, why would you then turn the dude with a dessert pastry? I dunno. It just seems crazy.

Love to all. Even you, the Danish, the Iranians, and the Republicans.
