If oil is going to go all the way to $100 a barrel anyway, at least Chavez won't have the oil revenue to threaten us.

Looks like Venezuela may be on its way to becoming a large Jonestown.

It makes you wonder just how wild it's going to get re energy. Every net exporter except Mexico and Canada are crapping their pants that the USA will go primitive on them to stay in the game. This tells me there are some crazy days ahead. Kind of like during the great whale oil shortage of 1880 :).

...and in other news today, Hugo Chavez denied that he's talking up the price of oil, his nation's #1 export commodity...

Sheehan is thinking: "Oh my goddess! He's SO dreamy!"
Chavez is thinking: "I may be insane, but I'm lucid enough to stay the hell away from THAT."

Ratcheting up a war of words with Washington, President Hugo Chavez said on Wednesday that Venezuela would blow up its oil fields if a US attack he has repeatedly warned about becomes reality.I wonder if we can make it look like we're about to invade--and get him to blow up his own oil fields?
That ought to get his own people to get rid of him: "You idiot, you just cut off the gravy train!"

Here it comes boys, $100 a barrel oil! The speculators are liking their chops, and we are getting screwed without the courtesy of a reach-around!

Remember, Jimmy Carter and a handful of Chavez's cronies elected this pos. He WASN'T elected by the people of Venezuela.

Bush should just go on the record and make this guy an object of ridicule and derision. "I think the little dictator is a flaming kook that needs his medication. Do any of you in the press know why he keeps making these absurd nutty statements?"
To: economist-student
I heard a business analyst on the radio explain that if even though $73 is a record in dollars per barrel of oil, that adjusted for inflation the early 80s were still the top at $90+/bbl.
And on Rush today somebody mentioned that in 2004, a bbl of oil was selling for $37, and gas prices were (on average) $1.80. The price per barrle has doubled, but gas prices are not even at $3.00 yet (nationwide average). If all things were equal, we should be paying $3.60/gallon today.

Translation: he's reached a deal with OPEC such that if it looks like he's going to lose power, he'll ensure that oil goes to $100/bbl, in exchange for a large contribution to his retirement account in Lichtenstein

Well, we could always ratchet up the rhetoric a bit more by 'promising' to nuke Venezuala into radioactive slag should Chavez carry out his rhetoric...
It would be interesting to see how Chavez would respond should the US decide to play his 'rhetoric' game.
