It's the end of democracy as we know it (and I feel fine)

From ehintz:  Remember how Bush has recently started rattling sabers at Venezuela, as if we're not involved in enough wars all over the world yet?  The reason may lie here:  Venezuela's President Chavez offered to provide cheap gasoline to poor US communities.

Gasoline is cheaper than mineral water in oil-producing Venezuela, where consumers can fill their tanks for less than $2.  Average gas prices have risen to $2.61 a gallon in the United States, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

Chavez said Venezuela could supply gasoline to Americans at half the price they now pay if intermediaries who "speculated ... and exploited consumers" were cut out.

It gets even worse than that -- Chavez and Cuba's President Fidel Castro offered to give poor Americans free health care and train doctors free of charge.  We OBVIOUSLY can't allow that -- why, it would undermine everything America the Bush Administration stands for!

And on a more humorous note, from zeekar and the Onion:  Evangelical Scientists Refute Gravity With New "Intelligent Falling" Theory
