Default Today's Headline

"WASHINGTON - With gasoline prices topping $4 a gallon, Senate Democrats want the government to grab some of the billions of dollars in profits being taken in by the major oil companies."

I like that they got it right in their use of "grab". How will that help any of us?

And my favorite quote from today's story is, "The oil companies need to know that there is a limit on how much profit they can take in this economy," said Sen. Richard Durbin of Illinois, the Senate's No. 2 Democrat.

Yah. That thinking is exactly how this country was built. We're going to tax ourselves out of this problem. Brilliant...
