Washington, take note
This is how you win hearts and minds.
But somehow, I think Washington will be taking a different message from this action....
"I still feel at home in churches brimming with demons; they're just
fixer-uppers, is all. Like a junk room that's starting to attract rats,
one of the worst things you can do is to continue not going in there."

Yeah, I read about this. On the one hand, this is an incredibly decent gesture of humanitarianism. On the other hand, this is a clear (and EXTREMELY well-played) jab at the Bush administration by Hugo Chavez. I'm pleased that many people in MA who otherwise couldn't will be able to afford heating fuel this winter. I'm a bit worried about the backlash from either the Bush administration or the followers of knee-jerk conservative pundits.
