Hugo Chavez, War Economy, Corporate Enrichment & Impeachment

CNN ran a story about Venezuelan President, Hugo Chavez, yesterday. When it was done, the woman made some comments--"disturbing" and "unbelievable" or something like that.

Didn't I tell you Chavez is going to use this war as his opportunity to jump onto the world stage? Especially now that Castro's about to drop dead, and he can take his place.

And he's sticking up his middle finger at the U.S., threatening to cut off the oil. Which hopefully he won't do, because that will just hurt his own economy and make Venezuela descend into more crappiness. And what else would that do? Make the price of oil higher so those American oil companies can rake in even more money.

Because as we all know, it's those American companies--the oil ones, the construction ones, many of which happened to be based out of Houston and are close personal friends with Cheney and Bush, that are benefitting from this war. Shouldn't they be investigating how money Dick and Cheney are making off this war?

Besides the fact that war always revs up the economy, and when the economy is good, people tend to get re-elected. And it is an election year.

How many people think that if the Democrats take over the House, Pelosi (the Representative from San Francisco) will start impeachment hearings against Bush and Cheney, which she'll win and then become the first female President?

Okay, one thing: I think Jane is a very intelligent and thoughtful person, but let's all stop with the "Harvard education" stuff. Trust me, if there's one thing that does NOT act as a guarantor of thoughtful intelligence (and certainly not morality), it's where you went to college. After all, the Vietnam War disaster was brought to you by the combined talents of Harvard grads.
