'Freedom fries' lawmaker's U-turn (from the BBC)

"A pro-Iraq war US congressman who campaigned for French fries to be renamed "freedom fries" is now calling for US troops to return home from Iraq.

Republican Representative Walter Jones is to introduce legislation demanding a timetable for the withdrawal.

The renaming of fries in Capitol Hill's cafeterias in March 2003 expressed disapproval among some US lawmakers with France's opposition to the war.

French toast was also re-branded "freedom toast".

Surprised I havent seen this in any American news so far.

Poking around in the bargian section on dvdplanet.com I found this amusing they have the movie based off of Hal Lindsey's Late Great Planet Earth listed as Science Fiction. This is a movie based off the book of the same name that tries to explain the Book of Revelations.

I wonder if it is a commentary or whoever is entering the discs has no idea what it is intended to be. I am betting the later, because I can see how some people would think it is fiction.

The listing is here BTW.

Heard earlier this morning on NPR about a new drug for Type II diabetics (like myself) of a new drug that controls not only your blood sugar, but also helps lower LDL cholesterol. And in most cases promotes weight loss as well. The drug is called muraglitazar (the trade name will be PARGLUVA if approved by the FDA) and articles about can be found at Forbes.com and Medicalnewstoday.com
