Seeing these two stories on the same page is interesting proof that "trickle down" economics was BS from the start.

Their officers of Exxon-Mobile have clearly earned a spot next to Regime officials, when they finally face a war crimes tribunal, firing squad, gallows, or whatever.

Internet is a good place to share information and meet friends. I recently found a nice web site called pubspa.com where you can meet friends who have same interest in beauty care, massage, wellness and spa treatment. You can also share blog, video, game, photos, etc with people from all over the world. Unlike other online dating sites where you have to pay membership fee, this site is totally free. I already made several interesting friends there.

Yeah. The oil execs have nothing to do with all that money they are raking in. No, they''re just a long for the ride, when whoops! they found all this money. Yeah, I have seen kids pull that little excuse with their parents. Then the mom checks her purse, and whoops, they child has been caught STEALING!!!!! So, you ain''t swamp land around here!

[incog-nito]

See? Not everything is bad with the U.S. economy. All you have to do is be an oil company executive, and you''ll know what I mean.

The assets of war profiteers like Exxon-Mobile should obviously be seized and liquidated, and used to establish a reparations fund for some of the victims of the illegal war.

In addition to benefiting from higher commodity prices,(PRICE GOUGING) the company said its results were evidence of a well-run,(POLITICALLY GREASED) globally diverse operation(OFF SHORE ACCOUNTS)that''s investing billions(TAX BREAKS) to find more energy supplies.(SCREW AL GORE)

You''re right. I also think (in a conspiracy sense) that big oil has worked careful to try and desensitize the public by developing a list of half-azz excuses as to why they must raise prices and caused "slight of hand" fluctuations to make you breath a psychological sigh of relief when the price goes from $3.05 to $2.99 per gallon.

I for one don''t want to hear how lucky we have been all these past years and/or I should not complain because of what Europe is paying for their gas.

It all comes down to lame excuses and price gouging. Big oil could pass some of their record profits on to the consumers but they choose not to because of greed.

so...
Do away with Super and just make regular unleaded.
Drop the government mandates for winter blend and summer blend.
Tell China to slow down their growth (read, demand).

[observantx]

GWB = wannabe oil tycoon
Shotgun Cheney = Haliburton CEO

7 years of Repugnican tax breaks, earmarks, give-a ways, and under the radar legislation and tax code finagling.

record profits for Exxon/Mobile ?

Duh! How can that be???

[payasyougo]

For years this counry has ignored a global call to conserve and pollute less. It is clear that the effect of high gas prices over the last year has been to drive less and put more emphasis on vehicles that get better gas mileage. While GM was building the Escalade pickup (oh please...) Toyota was building the 3rd generation Prius. Guess which one I would buy.

Maybe the high cost of fuel is what it was going to take all along to get America to wise up. We have to now. It''s just too bad the profits are going into the coffers of Exxon, the Saudi''s and the like.

We put ourselves in this positino folks.

[mitywhity]

Yes! Awesome job Exxon-Mobil!!! Capitalism baby!

[Kysparky]

What is it going to take for the american people to wake up and see what is happening?? As long as we pay these prices they will continue to charge them. I''m concerned they are to a point that we can do nothing to stop them. WE are either going into a recession or we are already there but the oil companies are making record breaking profits. Doesn''t really make good sense to me and not enough people are willing to try to stop them.. The famous words of most americans today is " Nothing we can do but pay it"

Gee .. and they just predicted sky high gas prices for this summer ... hmmmmm

[mediapreachr]

There''s nothing wrong with oil use or consumption.
Except when there''s a monopoly involved.This will stop when the state will take over the major energy industries.

There seems to be an inconsistency at work within the US economy.

[mylgs3]

Today in America,
Oil Companies have been given the ok with the current administration to be legal thieves.
This was the planned gift to the Oil Companies from our president and vice-president.

Yes, Our White House %u201CTexas Government%u201D successfully sold us fear. while they continue to rob us daily. The US constitution speaks against having a President and Vice President from the same State to prevent this self serving policy.

Of course, *** Cheney, a few months before accepting the VP Nomination, departed Halliburton and Texas to reestablish a citizenship in Wyoming. Again, it is not legal for the President and Vice President to be from the Same State.
Yes, Our VP Cheney meets the letter of the law; however, not the spirit of the law.

According to the 12th Amendment of the Constitution, a presidential and vice presidential candidate residing in the same state cannot both earn that state''s electoral votes. Governor George W. Bush is, without a doubt, a resident of Texas. Since 1995 *** Cheney has lived in Highland Park (Dallas), Texas.

Our three branches of Government were established to facilitate, promote and sustain balance. Today policies and trickery have voided the balance. Yes, this nation has been robbed by our financial and energy policies.

Wake Up America!
Mike

and just think i have to go back to work just to help out. now my hubby works in the oil business at the low end of the pole. and i will tell you this they do what they can to cut there own employees wages!!!!!!

With profits like this, no wonder the oil companies will stop at nothing to fight against technology that gives us fuel from water.
It is possible today to have cars that run on water by creating HHO hydrogen gas using electricity.
