No. I mean OPIC - Overseas Private Investment Corporation. It is a
federal agency that makes loans to private companies so they can embark
on business ventures without risking their own capital. It is better
known as the federal corporate welfare program, which BushCo. has
expanded mightily into various oil companies. And before somebody
tells me how Bush has cut back on corporate welfare these last few
months, let me say, sure, now that he has made all the handouts to his
oil buddies and now that our country is broke! Fine time now.
