#1 And, just where does Baby Hugo think he's going to have his tar refined ? The only two refineries currently processing his goo are located in the US, correct ?

#2 There is one in the Caribbean that can process the Venezuelan sludge, but I am not certain that it is still functional. There were indications 2 years ago that it was being looked at for closure.

#3 I have no doubt that the chinese have some use for that shit. Seems to be what he prefers anyway. I'm sure enough of the big boys will stay around and grovel at his feet to keep him in business. I don't think they're going to be breaking any production records though.

#4 I read in the WSJ yesterday that many Venezuelan petro engineers and their families have fled Venuzuela for northern Canada (Alberta).

Today I read in the WSJ that Exxon and Conoco have walked away from multibillion dollar investments in Venuzuela.

The clock is ticking on Chavez.

#5 "Venezuelan sludge"
It's great for paving roads. If you've got some dirt roads to pave, be sure to give Hugo a call.

#6 We have a good young Venezuealan engineer working for us. Just had him an anchor baby too. Heading off to Trinidad for an assignment now though (tough duty, huh?)
