Three things:

#1 Teresa Heinz Kerry is not associated with any of the Heinz Inc's business deals.

#2 She married into the Heinz money ... see a common denominator with someone else?

#3 US Oil companies should be advised to take note!

I'm shocked! Shocked, I tell you! A tin-pot South (or Central) American dictator took over financial interests belonging to others, in their country! Quick! Call the UN! They'll know what to do! Call Jimmy Carter! He knows ALL the dictators!

Blackwater Security's stock just went up 3 points......

The plant has not been in operation for at least 8 years.

It never employed more than 50.

Heinz' major plant employing 700 people is unaffected.

From other stories, apparently Venezuela is a large per capita consumer of ketchup. In the US, salsa now outsells ketchup.

[OldFriend]

The plant had been abandoned.

What harm was there is seizing it for other uses?
