Better Dead than Red?
I know what people are saying about me. Just because I currently reside in the hotbed of "pinko liberalism" does not mean that I am converting to communism.
But if converting to communism means doing what Hugo Chavez, the quasi-communist leader of Venezuela, just did, then I might look into it. Chavez, the same man that Pat Robertson wants assasinated, is distributing eight million gallons of heating oil at half the market price. Not too surprising for a communist, but here is the catch. Chavez is distributing this super-cheap heating oil to select communities in the United States.
And GWB cannot do anything about it (short of taking Robertson's advice), for the oil will be distributed through CITGO. That is the company owned and operated by the national oil company of Venezuela.
Think of this as a gift-wrapped warm and cozy Thanksgiving morning for thousands who could not otherwise afford it courtesy of your friendly neighborhood communist. Hopefully GWB is taking notes.

Dude, on so many levels, that's awesome.
I dont call you a communist. At least not to your face : ) On a side note my boss and her husband just vacationed in Argentina (arriving the day after Bush left town) and found the people to be suprisingly nice and supportive, even after all of the anti-Bush rioting. They may hate our gov't, but its comforting to know that they don't entirely despise us!
It is part of the job, Mike. You can't be much use as a theological ethicist if you don't have a clue what is going on. And it is really not that difficult. GoogleNews is a gift, man, a gift.
