Sometimes blogging just isn't enough, and I find myself concerned to the point that I open my big mouth, so to speak, and send off a letter to the editor, or whoever it was at that particular moment who roused my ire.
You know from previous posts that Hugo Chavez may be a favorite of Harry Belafonte, Cindy Sheehan and Danny Glover, but he's not someone I'd care to sit and have dinner with. My latest letter to the editor:
A week or so ago I saw a State Police vehicle filling up at Mullin's Citgo here in Lowville. It's one thing for most Americans to ignore what Hugo Chavez is doing in Venezuela as they continue to fill up their tanks at Citgo stations, but when I see my tax dollars going to support a man who has now closed down all opposition television stations, I get rather perturbed. What in the world does it take to get people to wake up and start boycotting all Citgo stations everywhere?
The petro-dollars we supply him are his main asset, and we blithely go on about our business without giving thought to the fact that we're helping Fidel Jr. create another socialist Utopia.
Why not pay a few more pennies per gallon? Taking a few more pennies out of your pockets will keep dollars out of his!
What do you think?

Venezuela is the 5th lgst. exporter to US of oil. the only thing a Citgo boycott will do is to hurt the Mullins boys. We need to look at cuba, learn from our mistakes and hopefully the people of venezuela will string Che Chavez from the highest palm tree.
Chavez has done great things for the people of his country. He was elected in an election far more valid than that which was given to Bush by the Supreme Court. The problem for the wing nuts is that the corporations can't control the oil.
