"Joe Kennedy Pimps for Hugo Chavez"
By Don Feder

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A series of public service announcements seem to be running non-stop on Massachusetts stations. They go something like this:
(Anxious-looking mother and daughter, shivering in a frigid apartment, the thermostat set at 60) “Mommy I’m cold.”
Elderly man with a foreign accent, “I can’t afford to pay for heat.”
(Joe, in a windbreaker, pops up on the screen – classic toothy Kennedy grin): “I’m Joe Kennedy and help is on the way – heating oil at 40 percent off from Citgo and our friends in Venezuela. Dial-1-877-Joe-4-Oil.”
I wish they’d stop running these during the dinner hour. It’s hard to hold food down after Kennedy’s smarmy performance.
Some have had the audacity to criticize this clumsy attempt to buy good will for the Venezuelan regime. (Imagine the nerve, criticizing a Kennedy!)
Joe will hear none of it. “Those who have no problem staying warm at night should not condemn others for accepting Venezuela’s oil. Rhetoric means little to an elderly woman who has to drag an old cot from her basement to sleep by the warmth of her kitchen stove or give up food or medicine to pay her heating bills,” Kennedy self-righteously thundered in a December 24th op-ed piece in The Boston Globe."

Apparent Sudanese Soldiers Threaten U.S. Embassy Driver
U.S. Embassy Khartoum issued the following Warden Message on February 1:
The U.S. Embassy advises all U.S. citizens in Sudan that the United Nations Mission in Sudan (UNMIS) has received new information that an extremist group based in the country is likely to target Western interests. Given the focus of extremists on the UN presence in Sudan, it is possible that the primary target of this threat is the UN. As noted in the Department of State Public Announcement dated November 21, 2006, terrorist actions may include bombings, hijackings, hostage taking, kidnappings and assassinations. Terrorists do not distinguish between official and civilian targets.
U.S. citizens are reminded to maintain a high level of vigilance and to take appropriate steps to increase their security awareness. Americans should regularly evaluate their personal security practices, exercise caution near likely targets, and take prudent steps to ensure personal safety.
All Americans living or traveling in Sudan are encouraged to register with the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate through the State Department's travel registration website, http://travelregistration.state.gov, to obtain updated information on travel and security within Sudan. Americans without Internet access may register directly with the United States Embassy in Khartoum. By registering, American citizens make it easier for the Embassy to contact them in case of emergency. The U.S. Embassy is located at Sharia Ali Abdul Latif, Khartoum; tel. (249-183) 774-701/2/3 (outside Sudan); tel. (0183) 774-701/2/3 inside Sudan. Americans may call between the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Sunday through Thursday. For after-hours emergencies, please call 249-183-774-705 and leave a message for the Consular Duty Officer.
