France has its knickers in a twist

Because the U.S. is selling some submarines to Australia.

But they're nukes -- and that kills a deal France had to provide Australia with some conventional submarines.

France always has their panties in a bunch about something.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

We're in a snit with France again. Does that mean freedom fries are back on the menu?
