Sorry.

comment: news link #6

paragraph:
3 - what'a joke
4 - f* the "oil 'executives'"!
Hey Congress, don't ask 'em, tell 'em. ...& I'll say it again & again & again: JUST LOOK AT THE QUARTERLIES!!!
4(cont) - jeeze, other than the obscene amounts of money being made x the oil companies, maybe this is item #2 on their agenda. Wadayathing?
5 - operative phrase: "...to seem..."
13 - "...well, does it punks." - paraphrased &, of course, rhetorical.
14 - who cares? Mr. Oilman, how come you're making all that money on our backs? How can you justify that? New exploration? More opportunities for you to cash in - ya' freak.
15 - let me translate: "screw you, we're getting all we can. Oh, & did I mention, SCREW YOU"
-----Page 2-----
paragraph:
3 - oooh, go get 'em DiFi...
5 - now I ask you, did he deliver that w/ a straight face?
6 - ya' think?

Question: I think we've all had enough, eh, so what is to be done?

Reminder: always look at the quarterlies

Homework: find out exactly the "the hows & whats" of the Spot Market. ...not what they tell you on pap-media. I guarantee that the next time some bobble-head tells you "...oil set a new record today on the spot market, so..." you'll go ballistic.

ps if all that doesn't outrage you, lie down, you're dead...

...remember I voted Republican the last two elections.
Mea Culpa. Mea Maxima Culpa.

comment: news link #4:

About damn time!
W/ all the crap that we - the people - have to contend, a bright spot!
...& those of you who are outraged, I have but a simple question for you: why do you care?

comment: news link #3

Coupla' quick things W -
1. Not talking is very intelligent, you petulant poser.
2. Your present plan, on the active front (war - in fact we're not in a war. What you have done is make our service personnel targets & that's about all) works well, does it not?
3. Your present plan, on the diplomatic front & your "politics of fear" works equally well, does it not?
3. ...& how in hell did I actually vote for you? I'm the biggest damn fool here!

"What can Washington do to reduce the gas prices in the near term. The short term answer, alas, is not much." - qoute the NY Times

What? The answer is simple - rein in the god-damn oil companies. Yes the petro-dollar is weak, but the oil companies continue to make "windfall profits"! That is a simple fact. Simply undeniable. EXXON (see outrage) just posted its 2nd highest quarterly earnings in history. Re-read that: "...in history." Enough said, time to think for yourselves, people. Your elected oil-company-lap-dogs are not about to do anything for you. ...or don't think for yourselves & you'll continue to get what you've gotten up until now - SCREWED!

"rumor mill" (con't)

I'm still trying to verify Thursday's post.
So far, no good.

...from the rumor mill:

There was a meeting of the board of EXXON last week attended x the Rockefeller's - they still own controlling interest in the company. Apparently, the Rs are a bit self-conscious about the obscene profits that have been - & continue being - made x the oil companies. The gist of it was they - the Rs - want to put something back into the pot.

I'll report when I actually can verify.

...oh, is that it?

NYT Tuesday, May 6, 2008

- QUOTATION OF THE DAY -

"It clearly evokes a visceral response because
we're the only industry that has our prices in
two-foot-high letters on the street corner."
- JOHN FELMY, chief economist at the American
Petroleum Institute, on gas
prices.

...couldn't have anything to do w/ the fact that you continue to make "windfall profits" & you know you are safe because no one does, or can do, anything about it? ...that you have the public & the politicians totally cowed? Your hubris runneth over...you stinking, arrogant, hypocrite!

Exxon

Why is there no outrage about the fact that Exxon has just posted the 2nd most profitable quarter in its history? ...on our backs? I can't wait until I can publish the other oil companies quarterlies.

Everyone is wandering around wondering why the economy happens to be in the state it finds itself.

Answers: the cost of: 1)the "War" - ripe for its own outrage; 2)the price of gasoline.

Get it, bubba?

All that being said, what can we do about it?

Help me here. ...at least vent here. Please
