I like this:
"Exxon Mobil does make $1,400 a second in profits -- hear the sharp intakes of breath from liberals with pursed lips -- but pays $4,000 a second in taxes and $15,000 a second in operating costs."
I didn't read the article (didn't see the link), but if this is Will's attempt to justify gas prices, it fails in my opinion. Using productions costs, taxes, etc that are paid are all net cost before profit. I don't see how taxing big oil helps me in any way...they will just raise prices further to compensate and keep their greedy hands on as much cash as they can get.
As for Obama (and McCain), I'm sick of neither party being able to produce a candidate that is worth a crap. If one said I am going to drill and build refineries in Alaska (I know Obama won't because he probably doesn't know where Alaska is and McCain is still working on understanding this "interwebs craze the kids have going"), that would get my vote. The government can subsidize airlines - why can't they build some refineries (and I'm looking in republicans' direction since they've had the helm the last few years)?
