Home amongst (very rich) friends
3/11/2007 "Halliburton Co. will move its corporate headquarters from Houston to Dubai, the company announced Sunday."
My, my what a surprise. Not!
The slime balls come home to roost.
Let's dodge the prying eyes of American scrutiny far, far away amongst our very rich friends in oil land.
Enjoy the ill-begotten gains Dick 'you provide the foreign crude, we'll provide the US boys' Cheney.

??? Well I don't get it. Besides the need to unleash some incoherent hate on the VP, how does Halliburton relocating have to do with the price of tea in China?
Have too much coffee this morning?

Some people just like to stir up a little controversy with their cream and sugar!  Maybe a friend of Ms. Odonnell. |

"Hey, what happened to your "Mr. Magoo Topic Starter??????"
..edited after posting because it does a disservice to Mr.Magoo.
Can't decide on what cartoon character Cheney reminds me of, Mr.Magoo is too kindhearted. Maybe Snidely Whiplash - yeah, that's much closer to who Cheney is.
" Have too much coffee this morning?"
Don't drink coffee - if I start will you disown your love of Bush & Cheney?

He is the Penguin from the old Batman TV show in the '60s.
And yes, this latest Halliburton news is exactly what is wrong with American economics these days. Conservatives, your forebears are spinning in their graves. |

Although I think the no-bid thing with Halliburton sets us up for a royal screwing from what I read today they're keeping their incorporation status tied to the US which will keep them answerable to the US tax code.
