#1 "Exxon Mobil spokeswoman Margaret Ross said the company had no comment on Ramirez's statements."

Unless you count the snickering ~~by the lawyers~~ in the background....

#3 Hugo just looks like a man who's about to come down with a severe case of Ceaucescuitis. A minor variant of that condition, popularly known as Allendeitis, is also a distinct possibility. Both are invariably fatal to Communists.

#5 The Exxon Mobil Corp. attorney. Incorporating the finest DNA from classic reconstructed Velociraptor, but with blue-ringed octopus venom. Similar in appearance to a cockatrice, though with a far greater maximum effective range.

#8 There's only so many refineries that can handle Venezuela's heavy crude. I'd bet they're in territories under British, American and Dutch jurisdiction, and that the oil or the payment can be seized, or at least tied up.

Oogo is going to have a hard tile refining. I look forward to him retaliating by cutting off exports and serving unrefined crude in the finest Caracas restaurants.
