Funny isn't it how all the suits make it sound like because the prices 'went up', the oil companies benefit?

They don't bother to say that the oil co's raised the prices, so that's why they make the money.

They always make it sound like someone else did it.

Yeah, they're not gouging us or anything. [roll] [roll] [roll]

I love these two quotes. It's too bad they put them so far away from each other. I think they're the 2 most important quotable factoids:

Exxon's quarterly profit was up 75 percent from a year earlier, and revenue rose 32 percent to more than $100 billion

and on top of that:

Exxon's oil and gas production fell 4.7 percent in the third quarter from a year earlier

I'm going to show this to my boss. I will tell her although I plan on working 4.7% less this year, I expect you to pay me 75% more. [roll] [roll] [roll]

Bend over and get the vasaline!

Oh yeah. Can't afford vasaline. It's a petrolium product.

Hell, you'd be lucky if they used Vaseline. I'm sure that they are using a sandpaper condom.
