wow, now that's news. i don't know which piece i like better:

The French Embassy in Washington had no immediate comment, except to say that french fries actually come from Belgium.

or

Ney [chairman of the House Administration Committee} said he was of French descent and "once the French government comes around we can get back to talking about french fries."
