Kids of Big Oil's CEOs Are Getting Your Kids' Birthday Presents

Hey, remember earlier this year after the Katrina disaster when gas prices were over three bucks? You would gets calls from friends telling you which stations had the lowest prices, and you'd fill up your car only halfway hoping that when you were down near empty again prices would be closer to normal?

Remember when you wondered if you should take that 4-hour trip after all, or when you went fishing this summer and had to fill up your boat and you almost fell over when you saw what the final tally was at the pump?

You remember that? Remember when Bush asked the gas companies, his own friends that contribute ass-loads of cash to his still stunning election "victories" that makes the rest of the world point and laugh at us, to not gouge the public? He asked them to maybe, settle it down a bit and give us fair prices and not go ape-shit over his now crying-like-a-little-bitch FEMA director who fucked this entire disaster up in the first place?

Remember?

I do.

Well guess how the oil companies did last quarter.

Survive the scare? Even better.
Made profits? Even better
Made really good profits? Keep going.
Made record profits higher than the gross domestic products of some countries?

Bingo.

Thank god we have the most big-oil connected administration in the history of this country. How the hell else are these oil execs going to afford TWO ivory back scratchers instead of just one?

I honestly never expected this from a federal government whose Secretary of State has a goddamned oil tanker named after her.
