dollars.

Annual profits, for 2006. (Thanks, themartyred.)

Our local anchor, Gary Shapiro was pretty indignant and his co anchor was a bit shocked at his reaction ( he said,"must be a good time to be in the oil industry" and something a bit cynical I didn't quite catch. Kyle Dyer, his co anchor gasped,"Gary!" and he said, "it's the truth" Then they went to commercial)

I'm getting a t shirt with the words "Follow the Money" this weekend. And, it's all blood money. MKJ

It would have been higher if the poor babies didn't have such a "sluggish" 4th quarter.

5. They also reported that the Exxon Valdez is still fucking with Alaska. 18 yrs. later.

6. Dang, I'm jealous!

Your local news actually carried news! My local news carries clips from network TV shows, shootings and other terra-related bits, and lots of commercials. Oh. and don't forget NewsChopper 5, showing rush-hour traffic going slow. News there, I tell ya. :sarcasm:

12. It's a REALLY good local station. They busted Beauprez using his buddy to access

a secure law enforcement site for use in his campaign commercials.

The good guys for sure, although we get plenty of weather and traffic, too. MKJ

7. AMERICA! F*CK YEAH.

I'm just proud :patriot: I could do my part in the sands of Iraq! Now... Where's my check?

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

8. Who says the war in Iraq is not a success?

Certainly not the stockholders or the administration that Big Oil bought.

[Raffi Ella]

10. Right?

My disgust knows no bounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I heard this this morning too and I just...I have no fucking words.I'm sitting here with the heat at 60 because I refuse to have a 3- 400 dollar heating bill,while THEY are making record profits!???
Not just record profits but RECORD profits over ANY other co. in America at the moment!!!!!!!!

ugh,GOD DAMN.Just GOD DAMN.

[spanone]

9. Good to know they are sacrificing for the cause....

:sarcasm:

[badgerpup]

11. I didn't realize I'd been boycotting them for that long...

18yrs?
Haven't bought gas from Exxon since the Valdez...even when they were cheaper than the other stations.

[Nikki Stone1]

14. How about donating half that amount to veterans' healthcare?

They lost their limbs (and minds) for your bottom line.

[porphyrian]

15. I'm sure we'll see it reflected in prices at the pump.

Yeah, and I'm an invisible fucking flying monkey.

[sweetheart]

16. Eminent domain! - they owe for the iraq war

They want the oil and the oil-army, then they should pay the 2 trillion costs of thier bullshit war.

[poiuytsister]

17. Gas jumped another 5 cents at the pump again today.

[SammyWinstonJack]

18. But hey Freeps, Iraq wasn't about Oil, was it?

:evilgrin: I thought your chimp president promised lower prices at the pump and that the Iraq war would pay for itself through oil revenues? You have been had! I know y'all don't care about all the innocent Iraqi lives lost and you barely care about the U.S. troops lost, but what about those obscene profit for EXXon? Does that even piss you off, just a little? :silly:
