#1 OPEC is such a hoot. Members ignore quotas, routinely, currently to the tune of 1.5M bbl - so they agree to trim back - to actual quotas. *eye roll* Say, isn't that almost exactly the Iraqi output just announced last week? *snicker*

And Chavez seems bent on creating a standup routine, just in case:

"economic ties with the United States would remain strong despite political differences..."

"he vowed to halt oil exports to the U.S. and wage a '100-year war'"

His material seems pretty funny to me. I hope he loses his day job.

#2 However, they all want W out, so....they might just hang together.

Fox better open the spigots.

#3 I picture Louie Anderson, Rosanne Barr and Rosie O'Donnel meeting to apportion consumption of Hostesse products - and then drag racing each other to 7-11 afterward.

#6 100 year war - well if and when any bullets fly it will more like the 100 hour war - 100 day war -- not no 100 years........

#7 Wanna see OPEC squirm? Just let Bush drop a hint that he considers a cartel controlling the price of a needed commodity as an act of war (which, in essence, it is - or more succintly, an act of coercion). Putting the screws to 30 countries who mostly have dictators running them may be an excellent way to fight the WoT as well. Maybe, instead of letting the OTHER side fund the war from oil profits, the US should move in and use those profits for OUR war fund. Of course, the "leaders" of the rest of the world would squeal like stuck pigs, but since most of them are pigs anyway, who cares?
