The following imaginary conversation just popped into my head:
John: But honey. It's another country. I'm not sure what I can do.
Teresa: Goddamnit John! Your a %^&ing United States Senator for chrissakes! Get your ass on a plane and go do something about this!
John: But schmookums...
Teresa: Stop! Just stop with the schmookums $%#@! It's not going to get you out of this. I don't care what you do just get the $%^# down to Caracas and straighten this guy out.
John: Yes honey...I'll leave tomorrow. Should I bring back some coffee?

Pretty rough stuff, huh? Well, based on this little news blurb, what do you think happened in the Heinz-Kerry household?
Chavez has been seizing rural estates and factories -- often through legal actions carried out by governors in his ruling coalition -- since last year.
Among those companies that have had property seized by Chavez are H.J. Heinz Co., the world's largest ketchup maker, and Lorenzo Mendoza, Venezuela's second wealthiest man.
