The word on the street, as posted at Environmental Graffiti, is Cuba and Venezuela are holding a swap meet: zoo animals for oil. In the deal, Hugo Chavez picks up a giraffe named Evo, in honor of Bolivian president Evo Morales, among other animals; the Castros will gain 92,000 barrels of petro a day.
