Maybe its just me but.....

Venezuela president Hugo Chavez announces that he is considering the possibility, of an outside chance, that he just might think, about shutting down oil supplies to the United States and we instantly have our wallets raped at the gas pump. Why does the conspirator in me immediately think that this might be more scripted than spontaneous? You persuade one looney tune with oil to make a threat and all of them make a few extra billion for a couple weeks.
