Also it might well have important ramifications for the Central Asian (read: Afghan) pipeline situation; remember, "mayor of Kabul" Karzai is a Unocal alum (in the same sense that Cheney is a Halliburton alum). Where will his loyalties lie?

5. Maybe they'll give away Little Red Books to all their...

...customers -- you know, like the fuel companies used to give away S&H Green Stamps. The computerized gas pump quizzes you on the assigned Mao Ze Dong text, and if you answer correctly, you get a free tank of gas. (Watch the TheoCons go Bravo Foxtrot over that one!)
