| Chavez warns of US oil cutoff in Colombia dispute |

| All right. Let me try this... CARACAS, Venezuela – Paranoid Venezuelan commie dictator Hugo Chavez threatened Sunday to halt oil sales to the United States and hide under his bed if Venezuela is attacked by its U.S.-allied neighbor Colombia. Chavez said during a speech to thousands of dupes that if there were an "armed aggression against Venezuela" from Colombia backed by the U.S., "we would suspend shipments of oil...and go broke." Chavez said "we wouldn't send one more drop" of crappy, unrefinable oil to the United States, which is the top buyer of oil from the South American worker's paradise. The paranoid Venezuelan commie dictator cut off diplomatic relations with Colombia on Thursday after outgoing President Alvaro Uribe's government presented photos, videos and maps of what it said were Colombian rebel camps inside Venezuela. The paranoid fat man called it "Lies! All lies!!" intended to smear his government and has said the Uribe could be trying to lay the groundwork for an armed conflict. The Colombian government denies seeking a conflict. It says it went to the Organization of American States with its evidence about the rebels' alleged presence in Venezuela last week because Chavez's government had not taken steps to address the situation. Apparently, neither has the OAS. Chavez said Sunday he is canceling a trip to Cuba to kiss fellow commie dictator emeritus Fidel Castro's ass due to the tensions with Colombia. He said separately in a newspaper column, however, that he will wait to see if Colombian President-elect Juan Manuel Santos, who takes office next month, expresses willingness to ease the diplomatic conflict. If not, he will throw yet another temper tantrum and make lots of noise. "We have to receive clear and unequivocal signals that there is a real political will in the new Colombian government to kiss my fat ass, without tricks," Chavez wrote. |

| #3 Probably would; for a while the US business plan has been built around borrowing money from China to buy oil from Venezuela and places like it. Imagine him doing this the same week some events in the Middle East cut off oil from there. And, of course, us waking up to all of that _and_ finding out that lots of the Canadian oil that wasn't good enough for us earlier is under long-term contract to countries like China. I think all of this is coming, and it's going to be coordinated; for lack of a better term, I'm calling it "the dogpile." They're probably postponing it until all the rigs are finally gone from the Gulf, which is a goal that's suddenly within sight. |
