#1 Oh, please, with sugar on top and extra sprinkles! That would be hilarious. Liberals in the US would squirm terribly, divided eight different ways between those who wanted to openly support "socialist oil", those terrified of being called socialists, those who hate oil and gas of all kinds, the alternative energy types who would "betray socialism by going green", etc. Hee hee.

And the conservatives would just sneer at them, boycott socialist oil, and chant "drill baby, drill!", while the liberals seethed.
