Exxon Mobil posts the highest profits ever in US corporate history

When I read the headline below, all I could think was, "And these bastards said they had to raise gas prices or they'd lose too much money." So, "record breaking profits" is equal to "just barely breaking even" in the oil industry. Fuckers.

I'm sure all the assholes on the board of each major US oil company really gives a flying fuck if people can afford to heat their homes or commute to work without going bankrupt. They reaped the rewards while raping the country.

I strongly believe you reap what you sow. Lord have mercy on the souls of those board members 'cause they're gonna need it.

It's "Tar and Feathers" time.

Washington, DC would get a SHITLOAD more accomplished if we were to bring back the time-honored tradition of tarring and feathering.

Corporations might be more honest, too.

Is all I'm sayin'.

I dunno... I may well own stock in a mutual fund in these oil companies. Hard for me to complain, even if I do log 1,200 miles per week.

CP - *OUCH!*

TJ - Hee-hee. Oh why not?? I like it when you get peturbed.

P.S. - CP has a cauldron over her doorway for when her (s)mother visits.

CP - Oh CP, that'll just boost the profits of the Oil and Coal Corps (for the tar) and Feather Corps resulting in more mining accidents, higher oil dependency, and a LOT of naked birds.

Pax - It is a classic case of corporate greed. But that's the way of corporations

Charlie - you know the business side of me sees it as a company doing fabulously well for their share holders (a corporations main goal). I'm conflicted by this too (but not by much).

Laurie - i don't know of too many people (aside from shareholders and Wall Street) that took the news well.

VG - The Fed Gov't is in bed with everyone. Always has been, always will be.
