Who knew project Fast & Furious shipped junk so far?

And yes, I already checked. Chavez didn't get any of my stuff.

Staged for Obamas benefit? Jigga' needs to whack someone new to get a poll bump.

Anheuser-Busch's fault.

Win!

But you've known about this for over a week? I haven't. Has it all been covered up? Bad PR for the convention?

See, back in the old days, we would have replaced the government down there by now and set up a Coca Cola bottling plant.

Yeah, I know about that crap. I'm talking piracy of an American flagged vessel and the imprisonment of it's crew. Anyway, I'm banned for life from facebook, how would I know what that drunken sailor is doing? Apparently, no one else did either. It's breaking now. The last day of a terrible convention. Distraction? Or simple incompetence.

Either way I wish I could hook up with the demolition team that blew up one of their state owned refineries. That job is going to look fantastic on someones resume.

"Don't get bent out of shape just because some U.S. Export-Import Banker's ship gets pulled over in South America"

I'm old school. Plus, letting this slide is very, very bad for business.

The business of shipping crap across international borders without having to worry about it being seized by every f*cking tin pot dictator we used to ship to Bethesda for permanent "Medical treatment" not that long ago.

And stop. I don't want to hear anymore. Smuggling just ain't what it used to be.

[Aaron Burr]

Me? You told me to forget about it.

Sigh.

Very well.

The parent company wired an a$$ load of money to Chavez and promised to be good in the future and not to make a big stink about it so everyone is free.

Except me and you of course.
