Venezuela threatens anew to turn off oil spigot to US

Quote from The Kin:

I say we nationalize the country to allow all the Venezuelan women to come to the United States.

Yes, with a built-in clause to allow divorces at 35 when they grow mustaches and become swarthy...
 
Quote from Rearden Metal:


Sadly, this shitty little communist dictator is closer to the spirit of America's founding fathers on this subject than our own rulers.

"A prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded. Prohibition goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes."

Recently, there was a Congressional hearing on the Internet and pornography. One of the witnesses disagreed with the government interfering with his online site. One of the Congressman replied "Well, we're going to make it our business".

Baseball, steroids, porn, etc. Our central government is snowballing in its power and scope, and people don't give a damn. When do they start sending "representatives" to our dinner parties?

Yep, this guy has balls. Remember he has also survived 2 US backed coups against his elected government.

Drug war is just another in a long history of BS excuses for US imperialism in Latin America.

American Government on all levels grows at an average annual rate of 2% per year on average. That annual number has probably been higher since 9/11. Look at the invention of the Homeland Security, complete new department of the Federal Govt created out of thin air with zero input (or outrage) from the citizens it works for, now that's progress! Unbelievable!!

The US Govt is a powerdrunk bully that cannot be stopped or controlled by it's people, it has passed the point of redemption a long time ago that's leading America down it's slippery slope. :(
 
Chavez is our best business partner
that's whay he's the god in venezuela...

we will get rid off him after 2008..
eveyrtime he open his mouth everyody makes millions in the gas and oil business...

only Exxon control 60 billion empire at the orinoco... he's our puppet.
 
Certain presidents (guess who!!!) know better than to allow America be at the mercy of Communists and Islamists controlling oil supply.
 
Quote from libertad:

Look...the public info highway...is often just another tool for pricing enhancement...

Right now...oil is hot...and the oil players are very very happy...

The Bush family...and anyone else whereas oil is their business...are very very happy...The Bush's are in oil and wartime goods...and are very excited about their current windfalls...with more to come...as are their cronies...It's their family business...and they have used the political podium to enhance themselves and their cronies....which was very well planned out in the late 90's.....

Up and down...like any other price...of any stock or commodity...nothing extaordinary....

Just another trade....

Good point.

Why marry in the first place?
 
Quote from libertad:

What's more interesting is that the US is supposedly having big big problems with:

Iraq
Iran
Venezuela

Gee...I wonder if it has anything to do with...OIL ?????

Look...the Bush family has got to make some more dough....

Don't forget North Korea and the problems we had (and fixed) with Afghanistan. But I don't think they produce much oil.
