With heating oil prices approaching $10 a gallon in rural Alaska and reports of neighbors stealing fuel from neighbors to warm their homes, a Venezuela-owned oil company plans to deliver free fuel to villages again this winter. That’s what a Citgo executive who oversees the company’s free-heating oil program told the Alaska Inter-Tribal Council earlier this month, said council director Steve Osborne.
Citgo has provided roughly 15,000 Alaska village households 100 gallons of heating oil each for the past two winters.
If the company donates the same amount this year, some families will save as much as $1,000 on their fuel bills.
It’s part of a program providing assistance to low-income communities in 23 states.

Lynn, a Republican, said it’s not right for Alaska to receive oil from Chavez. “We need to be able to take care of our own. The United States needs to do something about this,” he said.
Still, Lynn added later, “It’s one thing for me to speak philosophical thoughts here in the warmth of my home in Anchorage. It’s another thing to have a wife and kids in danger of freezing to death out there.” [snipped]

WRT my #6 post, this person’s comment re: that article, just NEEDS to be saved for posterity:
“Make no mistake, Chavez is a political oppurtunist that wants to reshape latin america as a communist/socialist block. He is very dangerous and de-stabilizing to the region, as far as our interests are concerned. What galls me is that he is able to do it. While our governor is out photo-slutting herself around the nation. Wish she would pull her head out of her rectum and at least pretend she’s interested in being governor.”

While we’re at it, this was also another interesting article from Anchorage. I need to check it out further tomorrow, but here’s the link in the meantime:

David Irons has been endorsed by the Republican King makers on the eastside along with an unknown female. (dual endorsement)
Hara and PVR’s aid are out and Ross Baker is in for sure. Field is getting very crowded.
So far:
Ross Baker
David Irons
Mystery female (democrat supposedly)
Mystery Republican guy
Jason Osgood
Chris Clifford
Anthony Hemsted (unlikely)
Pam Roach (undeclared)
A crowded field of eight. With a $1,444.00 filing fee some are likely to fall to the wayside.

I thought the whole world would thank the Donkey who voted for Obama by stopping these terrarist actions.
But the Mumbai terrarists looked for Jewish, American and British citizens. Looks like the religion of peace isn’t too impressed…

from another thread – YLB spews: 42 – Yeah prove to me I accepted some bullshit challenge from you. As for your link – I don’t click on right wing bullshit.
Dipstick – You offered the challenge which I accepted in another earlier thread when asked for proof. Then you say I offered the challenge.
Too stupid toooooooooooo stupid to remember his own comments. A truly clueless idiot.
@11 I thought the whole world would thank the Donkey who voted for Obama by stopping these terrarist actions.
If you thought that, you’re even dumber than I thought. And if you think that any of us actually thought that, you’re even dumber than SeattleJew (ok, ok, I know that’s not true).
