...How about when leaders of other Countries start sending places like Philadlphia foreign aid, in the form of oil to heat the homes of poor people? This is a day old, but, I hope everyone saw this:

Venezuela's socialist president, Hugo Chavez, who has been a persistent antagonist to President Bush, is providing relief to some poor families in the Philadelphia region squeezed by the high price of home-heating oil.

A subsidiary of the Venezuelan national oil company will ship five million gallons of heating oil for distribution at a steep discount to as many as 25,000 low-income families in the Philadelphia region next month under a deal brokered by U.S. Rep. Chaka Fattah (D., Pa.) and a nonprofit energy cooperative.

...

It started last fall as a public relations masterstroke by Chavez, who has led a leftist resurgence in South America. He has cast himself as David to the American Goliath, calling President Bush a "genocidal madman" and accusing the United States of plotting to assassinate him. The administration and various human-rights groups say Chavez has destabilized Latin America and abuses political dissidents.

Hugo Chavez is a pretty questionable character. But, he is going to prevent some Pennsylvanians from potentially freezing to death this winter. His gesture means a lot. And, of course, the reason why it stands out so much is because...

Fattah said he hoped Citgo's action would inspire U.S. oil companies. No other companies have offered subsidized heating oil, said Juan Palomo, a spokesman for the American Petroleum Institute. He said he knew of no plans to do so.

Haha. Give away oil?!?!?! Doesn't the reporter know that would interfere with their gouging? Price gouging takes a lot of work. They must stay eternally vigilant in that gouging, to make sure their profits do not go below 7 or 8 billion for this quarter.
