This must really bust Bush’s stones:
Nov. 22, 2005 — Venezuela has agreed to sell heating oil at discount prices in low-income communities in Chicago, New York and Boston.
Venezuela’s president has decided to expand his Oil-for-the-Poor program and sell cheap oil to the number one superpower of the world. The Houston-based petroleum company CITGO, wholly owned by Venezuela, will begin the program in Boston. Up to 12 million gallons of heating oil will be offered at a bargain price, representing $10 million in savings for locals, according to CITGO.
Looks like conditions are ripe for another coup attempt.
Great idea, astroworf! A coup would be great!
Chavez might want to put Simon Bolivar’s portrait up in the West Wing afterwards.
And the Secret Service guys would need to learn at least a smattering of Spanish, so they could stay on top of events.
And we’ll have to hand a big Pinata in the Rose Garden, and add some carnivals to the holiday schedule.
Do you think he would work more than the five hours a day Bush does?
That’s not quite the coup I was thinking of Antifa, but now that you mention it…
Nah, we’ll wait until next year to take back Congress, then let the fun begin!
“Meanwhile, U.S. oil companies haven’t responded to lawmakers’ request to share the wealth and donate some of their profits to the poor to cover higher heating bills.”
Ouch, a very pointed contrast. Which reminds me of what I find funny about the supporters of capitalism who say that it, unlike socialism and communism, works: they never get around to explaining just who it works for.
Of all the things busting Georgie’s little stones these days, Hugo must be as aggravating as anything.
No wonder the great Pharisee leader, Pat Robertson, of the phony, hate filled right wing wants to assassinate him - HE IS HELPING THE POOR - such a great sin against the wealthy of this country!
No doubt, Pat would have relished crucifying that poor carpenter.
Being the sinner that I am, I will buy from CITGO whenever I can.
Hey, look, we’ve become a third world country under Dipwad - accepting foreign aid from a third world country - we must be a fourth world country - a country that loves torture, death, deficits and lies.
I wonder whether BushCo will allow this. I doubt it. Seriously.
