I'd say the US administration are teetering on the edge of fascism right now

I think that applying the word "fascism" to "Freedom Fries" is a bit strong, though I realize probably you aren't just referring to the one incident. This fries thing is, of course, silly and petty, but it's just that.

If bills such as "the repatriation of American corpses from France" make it onto the statute books, the rest of the world can be certain that the US has finally lost the plot and could well be the most dangerous nation in the world right now.

The bill is, of course, stupid. I don't want my tax dollers being spent on a futile gesture of hatred, nor would (I suspect) most Americans. I have little doubt this bill won't make it very far.

Oh, and at least they haven't asked us to obstain from french (freedom?) kissing yet.
