[Perhaps it’s an overstatement to say that Bush and his immediate team would countenance the violent demise of Hugo Chávez (although in April 2002 they sanctioned an attempted coup against the Venezuelan leader which could easily have ended with his death.) For many months now, the Venezuelan president has claimed that the White House has targeted him for assassination. In March, the State Department retorted that Chávez’s spate of accusations regarding a CIA plot to assassinate him were “wild.” However, serious doubts emerged over the weight of the administration’s latest display of supposed indifference to Chávez’s fate when Felix Rodriguez, a former CIA operative in Central America and influential Bush-backer in South Florida, claimed in a Miami TV interview that regarding Venezuela, the administration has] contingency plans. ... could be economic measures and even at some point military measures. |

It hurts. It hurts whenever one of our heroes comes home, but not alive. This is the first one (soldier) from the Raymondville area. |
It's going to be counter-productive. We think we need another kind of answer. |
It's humanitarian. The poor people need heating oil. |

On first album, we were more inspired by 80's bands. We were kids. We were like 18 years old, pretty naive. I think that album was a lot about going out, partying - the new album is more about what we've been through. |
Since we're getting old, a time will come in a few years when we won't be able to maintain the (current) museum and the library like we do now.
