Brilliant! Russia's president, Dmitry Medyedev, has decided to fight his nation's alcohol problem --not by introducing reforms to improve the lives of Russian citizens, but by doubling the price of vodka.
It will certainly benefit the rest of the world to monitor this bold experiment. If it is successful, perhaps we can fight obesity in America by doubling the price of food. Cancer might be eradicated by simply raising the cost of chemotherapy. Stay tuned.

Of course all this is going to do is get him voted out of office and produce more angry drunks.
The experiment with Prohibition in the U.S. is the ultimate proof that you can't legislate drunkeness (thank god!).
It's amazing that some still feel threatened by Russia. With clowns like Putin and Medyedev for leaders, Russia is guaranteed to remain a basketcase for generations.
