Broken Hallelujah

"The plea came in a letter from a group of U.S. senators to nine big oil companies: With huge increases in winter heating bills expected, the letter read,

we want you to donate some of your record profits to help low-income people cover those costs.

But the lawmakers received only one response. It came from Citgo Petroleum Corp., a company controlled by the Venezuelan government of President Hugo Chavez, a nettlesome adversary of the United States who has accused the Bush administration of plotting to assassinate him and invade his oil-rich country."

After the oil companies have been getting so much from the Republicans, they were finally asked to repay the generosity and use their enormous wealth to help the people. They just laughed. All except Chavez, the man Pat Robertson wants assassinated, the man who is the sworn enemy of Bush because Chavez is a better example of democracy than he is. It's funny how that works.

I'm really starting to like this guy. But are his intentions disingenuous, self serving, or are they real?
