Spoiled Child Throws Tantrum

"It's important for producers not to take actions that hurt our economy. We believe oil prices should be set by market forces in order to make sure that we have adequate supplies available."

So bawled Scottie McClellan, in reaction to OPEC's announcement that it will slash production. Well, a temper-tantrum's not as bad as an outright invasion and occupation of an oil-rich country.

But still, wonder if Scottie's all set to announce a cessation of U.S. grain subsidies, in order to make sure that the rest of the world has adequate supplies available?
