A Cracking Bad Idea

Via Instapundit comes word that a British MP has proposed carbon rationing. You see, you only get to buy as much gas or energy as you have credits for that year, and then you are cut off unless you buy some more. And we all know (well, we conservatives know) what rationing does to the supply - that's right, it causes it to dry up.

Even San Francisco hasn't gone this far - yet.

However, the main reason I'm linking is because of one of the commenters on the page.

I have read some tripe in my time but this really takes the biscuit.

Hmm, I wonder if this is a British story?
It sounds even better if you imagine it in Wallace's voice.
