Chavez and Venezuelan Oil



Not sure if any of yall have been keeping up with it, but there has been quite a hullabaloo in Venezuela over the last week or so, with a group of opposition forces demanding a referendum on Hugo Chavez's rule, and calling for early elections.  Here are a few articles concerning the outlook on Chavez's position.
