Not everybody's down on Venezuela and Hugo Chávez

with the greatly increased energy prices and the winter already here for many in the northern states, this is really good news and puts our domestic oil companies to shame...

A subsidiary of the Venezuelan national oil company will ship 12 million gallons of discounted home-heating oil to local charities and 45,000 low-income families in Massachusetts next month under a deal arranged by US Representative William D. Delahunt, a local nonprofit energy corporation, and Venezuela's president, White House critic Hugo Chávez.
