As broadcast tonight, Saudi A is developing 2 enormous oil fields the will produce 1-2million and more B/day early 2009 per the Saudi Oil minister. The focus is to keep oil prices from wild fluctuations as this past summer saw. The Saudi's are also developing efficient engines in an effort to keep the world from developing electric auto's. The Main point - low oil prices are here to stay for the forseeable future and VZ depends on OIL for 90+% of its revenue. Hugo is TOAST if he does not open up mining to production(jobs etc) and quick. He could always resort to a military state, but that would eventually get him DEAD - not a bad idea however one would hope he perceives the risks. No I don't want him gone in 2012, I would like to see a video Mana'na of a large Donkey attracted sexually to Hugo's backside and the Donkey having its way with him - again & again.

That would make my day!
