Apparently the tables are being turned on us by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez who says that if Exxon Mobil Corp. wins court judgments to seize billions of dollars in Venezuelan assets then he will declare “economic war” on the US by refusing to sell Venezuelan oil to us.
Chavez even went so far as to say “If you end up freezing (Venezuelan assets) and it harms us, we’re going to harm you,” turning his words to U.S. President George W. Bush. “Do you know how? We aren’t going to send oil to the United States. Take note, Mr. Bush, Mr. Danger.”
This is a startling commentary actually about how weary other Countries have become of Bush’s constant bullying and sanctions.

The FBI is gearing up to create a massive computer database of people’s physical characteristics, all part of an effort the bureau says to better identify criminals and terrorists.
This is ‘Big Brother’ taking things a bit to far. Really it is the beginning a society where you can be tracked anywhere, any time and all your movements, and eventually all your activities will be tracked and noted.
This is the direct result of the fear-mongers who want us to walk in fear suspecting everyone around us to be of sinister intent.
In my view of “it” this raises some serious privacy issues. It makes the Government privvy to all our personal information even if we are innocent of any wrongdoing.
How very Orwellian.

I cannot believe my beloved Patriots lost.
Where the hell was their defense – in Foxboro?
The Giants hit, sacked, stripped and rattled Tom Brady which is something that rarely happens.
A Brady-to-Moss touchdown pass put New England ahead 14-10 with 2:42 remaining.
Holding New England to only two touchdowns got them beat but actually, a defense that squandered too many opportunities on New York’s final series doomed the Patriots.
