The freepers have announced their boycott of "french fries", "french toast", and Pepe Le Pew cartoons.

Some members of Congress are stamping their little feet and threatening boycotts and other stuff against France.

In his nearly 20 years in the US House of Representatives, New Jersey's James Saxton has built a solid if low-profile record as a moderate Republican.

But when it comes to Iraq, the unassuming Mr Saxton is an avowed hawk and he has now found a new target for his anger over European intransigence: the Paris Air Show.

The senior member of the House armed services committee has drafted a resolution, which he intends to introduce this week, that would call on all US companies and government officials to bypass the biennial gathering, widely regarded as the most important trade show for the industry.

Although the resolution would not be binding, Mr Saxton said if it passed he believed it would have a significant impact, particularly on the US military.

In other words, the relatively obscure New Jersey Congressman is just jerking off for an easily amused public. Meanwhile...

The resolution is only one of several efforts being considered in Congress to punish French industry. Dennis Hastert, speaker of the House, has discussed with Republican colleagues imposing regulations on French wine and bottled water imported into the US.

In retaliation, hot French women vowed to never have sex with overweight former wrestling coaches from the Midwest...until they remembered that they never had sex with overweight former wrestling coaches from the Midwest in the first place. Instead they just licked their lips in a seductive manner causing America's overweight former wrestling coaches from the Midwest to shift uncomfortably in their elastic-waisted Dockers and wish that they could have about thirty seconds alone in the men's room to deal with their precious bodily fluids...if you know what I mean, and I'm sure you wish you didn't.
