Chavez may be in trouble

Don't know how long these will last, but it is a good sign.

We'll see...

Ironically, Chavez has idiotic, but widespread support in the United States...

I heard somewhere that 7-Eleven was goign to stop using Citgo (Venezuelan) oil at it's service stations... 2-3 weeks later, I still see Citgo signs there. I guess there are contractual obligations to overcome.

It will take time for them to switch over. Unfortunately it is not an over-night thing to do, especially with signage, pumps, etc. Wouldn't be surprised if the pumps themselves are owned by Citgo and they will have to remove and replace them.
