Blasts Hit Mexico Oil Company Pipelines

Ailes must be ailing in the brain department these days. I have talked to many who have been emailing Fox to tell them the stink lately.

Apparently they didn’t get the messages or else they don’t care.

I think it’s more likely that it’s radical groups like FARC (which blows up pipelines in Colombia on a regular basis, and has threatened Mexico and other petroleum states).

Personally, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Hugo Chavez’ dirty little fingerprints on this one. He hates Mexico with a passion, and has threatened it before. Plus it probably cuts into his oil business, and an attack on Mexican pipelines would probably cut into our supply and force us to buy from Chavez.

Yah...so let's leave the borders wide open...there are no terrorists in Mexico.

What do you call three dead reporters?

A good start.

Latin America pinglist ping. (at least one more, for the exploded truck in Coahuila).

A small leftist rebel group, the Popular Revolutionary Army, set off bombs at Pemex pipelines in July.

While I think Mexico could use a little revolution to weed out corruption I fail to see how these groups get happy little names like "leftest rebel group" rather than called terrorists. The pipeline might be a gov't target but a Sear store is not.

You got a coal truck still running where you live?

Hmmmnnn,.... No. I suppose I could drive down to W. Va. and buy a load, though. Picking up stray lumps of coal along the railroad track is rather time-consuming.

I had a pellet stove when I lived in Auk Bay, Alaska and that little sucker really put out the heat and was low maintenance plus when we got a temperature inversion in the valley and wood burning stoves were verboten, I could still use the clean burning pellet stove.

No more ice delivery or milk delivery trucks either. The only paper delivery I get is the free ones that litter my driveway. I wonder when the mailman will be obsoleted by electronic delivery.

Makes me glad I purchased Canadian oil trusts.

Is it the nothing-can-be-done crowd’s assumption that the fellows who run armies of the ‘undocumented’ from Mexico into America are just kindhearted human smugglers who’d have nothing to do with jihad even if the price was right?
