The arbiter of “reasonable profit” get defeated - this time
The Stalinist windfall-profits legislation gets voted down. For now. You can be sure this kind of thing will resurface soon if you don’t carry passion for America’s foundational principles into the voting booth with you in November.

I like the dream of all of us conserving so much the oil companies start giving us incentives to buy.

Fine with me, as long as it’s a voluntary move on the part of each individual citizen.

Russian president Dmitry Medvedev yesterday blamed Western countries for the world’s current economic woes and said Russia’s vast energy reserves could be part of the solution. Speaking at a meeting of high-powered business executives in second city Saint Petersburg, Medvedev said the US was behind a global credit crunch and that other countries had caused a food crisis by investing in biofuels. “It is precisely the gap between the United States’ formal role in the world economy and its real capabilities that was one of the key reasons for the current crisis,” said Medvedev, who came to power last month. “Russia is a global player. We understand our responsibility for the fate of the world and want to participate in forming the rules of the game, not because of so-called imperial ambitions, but because… we have the resources.”
Please, please stop calling your fellow countrymen Stalinist or I might have to start calling you a Mcarthyite.

When elected officials of our government attempt to set limits on the profits of private organizations, that’s Stalinism.
