  • Brian 5/17/07: "Professor Grandin on your Hugo Chavez program said that Chavez is renegotiating a better deal for Venezuala and private investors still have a place in his scheme. To which I'll point out that it's not negotiation if you're told 'take this deal or I'll steal you blind' as Chavez is doing. And that a private investor would be a fool to invest in such a climate."
