A fine and outstanding company that puts safety first:

On June 3, 1979, PEMEX's Ixtoc I exploratory oil well in the Gulf of 
Mexico, about 600 miles south of Texas, suffered a blowout and became the 
largest unintentional oil spill in history.

On November 19, 1984 a series of explosions at the PEMEX petroleum storage

facility at San Juan Ixhuatepec in Mexico City ignited a major fire and 
killed about 500 people.

On April 22, 1992, explosions in Guadalajara, Jalisco killed more than 200

people.

I'm fairly sure you haven't written anything that did not originate in
your 
asshole:

PEMEX, despite its current $77 billion in revenue, pays high taxes that 
contribute a large ****tion of the budget of the federal government.
Indeed, 
in recent years the company has only been able to make ends meet through 
massive borrowing, so that it now owes a staggering $42.5 billion, 
including $24 billion in off-balance-sheet debt because the Mexican 
government treats the company as a major source of revenue.  (Pemex 
revenues)  have been used to pay salaries of bureaucrats and current
costs, 
instead of being invested in projects of exploration and production.

Fox and Calderon have both floated the idea of partial privatization of 
Pemex, 180 degrees counter to the nationalization scheme you commies 
sup****t.
