		<description>Ex, I know which Santana you were referring to, just joshing ya.
But it would be great to have a Hispanic Veep!

and here&#039;s more breaking nudes, er, news:

CARACAS, Venezuela - Venezuelaâ€™s state oil company said Tuesday that it has stopped selling crude to Exxon Mobil Corp. in response to the U.S. oil companyâ€™s drive to use the courts to seize billions of dollars in Venezuelan assets.

Exxon Mobil is locked in a dispute over the nationalization of its oil ventures in Venezuela that has led President Hugo Chavez to threaten to cut off all Venezuelan oil supplies to the United States. Venezuela is currently the United Statesâ€™ fourth largest oil supplier.</description>

		<description>Why, Exley, it&#039;s real nice to hear that you&#039;re on the Obama bandwagon - but it took Roger Clemens to get you there?

...and in the meantime, Chimpy and his crew of thugs have been gangraping the American people and the Constitution itself for 8 long YEARS - and *that* wasn&#039;t enough to convince you...? 

Well, gee, that&#039;s great, I guess. Yer a little slow, aren&#039;t you?

		<description>Did Ken Lay&#039;s death bring about the end of crooked business dealings?

no.


Then how does the death of this-or-that &quot;terrorist leader&quot; amount to progress? Anyone think there won&#039;t be a replacement?</description>

		<description>Oh, right Exley. I forgot yer a Metropolitanian fan. My condolences.
Becoming a Democrat might be too much of a shock to your system, may I recommend Independent status as a halfway measure for a couple of years, then, if you&#039;re still feeling like there&#039;s more good you can do for the world, moving over to the Democratic party.

And Yes Obama/Anybody 08!</description>

		<description>Very good news:

Hezbollah Says Top Figure is Killed 
     
By REUTERS
Published: February 13, 2008
Filed at 9:20 a.m. ET

  BEIRUT (Reuters) - Hezbollah leader Imad Moughniyah, on the United States&#039; most wanted list for attacks on Israeli and Western targets, has been killed by a bomb attack in Damascus, the Lebanese group said on Wednesday.

Israel denied any involvement in the killing, seen as a major setback to Syrian and Iranian-backed Hezbollah that fought a 34-day war with Israel in 2006.

Moughniyah, 45, was killed late on Tuesday. He had long been on a list of foreigners Israel wanted to kill or apprehend and the United States had offered a $5 million reward for his capture.

&quot;His killing is a huge blow to Hezbollah. It is very indicative,&quot; Magnus Ranstrop, terrorism expert at the Swedish National Defence College, told Reuters.

Moughniyah was implicated in the 1983 bombings of the U.S. embassy and U.S. Marine and French peacekeeping barracks in Beirut, which killed over 350 people, as well as the 1992 bombing of the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires and the kidnapping of Westerners in Lebanon in the 1980s.

The United States indicted him for his role in planning and participating in the June 14, 1985, hijacking of a U.S. TWA airliner and the killing of an American passenger.

&quot;For the U.S. administration Imad was the most wanted terrorist before Osama Bin Laden appeared. For many years, many different teams were looking for him, trying to exact the price for the catalogue of attacks he allegedly carried out,&quot; Ranstrop said.</description>
