With heating oil prices approaching $10 a gallon in rural Alaska and reports of neighbors stealing fuel from neighbors to warm their homes, a Venezuela-owned oil company plans to supply free fuel to villages again this winter.


That's what a Citgo executive who oversees the company's free heating oil program told the Alaska Inter-Tribal Council earlier this month, said council director Steve Osborne.

4. Adding to global warming in an already warm country? Tsk tsk, I smell a rat.

And I did add deodorant to my underarms 5 minutes ago, so it ain't me...

"Chavez is obviously an evil doer. He's undercutting the sacrosanct Holy of Holies, the 'free market,' and making it more difficult for us to cash in and reap MASSIVE MIND-BOGGLING PROFIT off these poor, cold, problematic proles.

"Hmmmm? We need to organize an 'elite' Think Tank on this problem, and get Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Glen Beck, Sean Hannity, and the other USUAL OVERPAID republicon Chickenhawk propaganda whores, to make our Righteous Republicon case."

6. imagine that?

I am waiting to seeing what happens next in South America . Chauvez, Morales and others are real progressives.

We can't have THAT, now can we?

7. Frontline just aired a piece on Hugo Chavez...

I didn't know much about the guy before (except for that he called Bush the Devil :applause: ).

Well, turns out that he took the royalties from the oil companies to give to the people. Then they (the greedy rich) tried to overthrow him but were unsuccessful because he is very loved by the poor).

He is a funny, interesting man who says what he feels and feels that he has an obligation to help the poor (the masses).

I like the guy. :toast:
