Sucks being Hugo. How’s that communist thing working out?

Wait, those are our $.

[umgud]

Add Isaac shutting down the gulf oil ops and we’re looking at huge spikes at the pumps for a while.

It’s almost worth paying more to see Hugo’s stolen refinery go up in flames.

If it takes $10 a gallon to get the Obamination out, money well spent.

Venezuela is so advanced. They do it all for themselves. Wait. I see Caterpillar, Case and either Peterbilt or Kenworth represented there. What is all that American made stuff doing there?

1972 to 1994 they pretty much managed to improve the production by something like -50%. Good job boys, you’re right on schedule to do it again.

I note that Chavez et al are sticking with the claim that there’s no reason to think this was due to poor maintenance or bad practices. If not those, then what? Are we about to see the official “Evil Western Capitalist Imperialist Pig Sabotage” card thrown onto the table?

Probably about the same time that Iran gets on Israel's last nerve.

Are”The Natives”becoming restless?

The shut down of the Gulf production will last 8 days tops, just read one of the big producers, has already sent their people back. When are we going to use the oil we now have found in the U.S. instead of relying on a bunch of Camel Herders for our oil. We have just discovered an oil reserve in Texas that is judged to be 5 times the size of the Bakken in North Dakota, both together could supply all of our needs for the next 40 years.

Bush’s fault, plain to see.

“If it takes $10 a gallon to get the Obamination out, money well spent.”

Me too! Just read that those Leftist Humps in CT are upset that they are now paying over $4 a gallon, poor babies! Lets’ see how much they love the Zebra when it goes to $5 or more! Maybe McMahon will win this time! Just consider high gas prices a campaign donation in kind.

Ain’t communism wonderful?

Pray for America

bridges collapse and now this... all that looting is having an effect

[GeronL]

Bridge collapse, an important one too. Might take 15 days to get an alternate route there, it says at site.

[Fresh Wind]

A whiff of brimstone for Chavez to ponder as he faces impending death.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Blame Bush,....Obama does....LOL!

Its the Marxists way !

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Thanks for the picture.

that crane vehicle is about 3x heavier than the limit for that road apparently

Hugo’s got about 12 hours left on his prediction to re-open the plant by Tuesday.
