Why Mr. Exxon-Mobil, you cheap-assed son of a bitch .......

[Stinky The Clown]

.... you offer to pay scientists to make statements undermining the **facts** about global warming through your PR arm, the American Enterprise Institute, and all you're offering is s measly, cheap-assed $10,000?

Come on, man, you can do better than that.

Make them an offer they can't refuse. $10M ...... $20M ..... you can afford it. After all, you made $34B is **profit** last year .....

[Lucky Luciano]

1. I was thinking the same thing...they needed to offer $10M or more....

...and you are wrong...they made $39.5B last year :P on $378B in revenues - INSANE!

4. Less than a 10 percent margin

You're right - that's insane. Less than banks, pharmacuticals, and most hi tech. Better grocers and restaurants.

5. Still typical though in a highly commoditized industry. br

2. Damn..I know they have truly "Gone Down" in my eyes... I mean....

..It's one thing to be a Pack of Sons-a-Bitches....
But to be a Pack of CHEAP Sons-a-Bitches...
Christ...they carry Sleaziness to new lows...

3. Me too. Scientist sell their soul for $10K? What an insult! nt

[Contrary1]

7. I just did some ciphering...

$10,000 is slightly under 8 seconds worth of profits.

You're right H2S, they are cheap sons of bitches.

[distantearlywarning]

8. I was totally thinking that too!

Sell one's soul for a measly $10K? I don't think so!

What a bunch of cheap-asses.
