Exxon Mobil Posts Record Profits.
Exxon Mobil Corp. on Friday posted the largest annual profit by a U.S. company, $40.6 billion, as the world's biggest publicly traded oil company benefited from historic crude prices at year's end. The previous record for annual profit was $39.5 billion, which Exxon Mobil made in 2006.Must be nice?

It must be nice. Im sure Exxon will blame it all on Katrina, and a higher demand on fuel. Which they did last year if I remember correctly.
- i know, they always blame it on something. no matter what it is. blame works.akrokdesign

"Exxon will blame it all on Katrina, and a higher demand on fuel."
probbaly true, but that's some logic they got going... Imageine:
"My laptop crashed so i made 2x as much money."
"Price of Photoshop just jumped to $22,000 so i made more money."
"My brother is having a constant screaming match with my mother in my room as i design, so i made more money."

they usually blame tensions with Iran as well. every article on Iran or the price of oil going up usually mention each other.

Spam Email From my Father-in-law (who is a huge conspiracy freak):
WHERE TO BUY YOUR USA-GAS
WHERE TO BUY YOUR USA-GAS, THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW. READ ON--
Gas rationing in the 80's worked even though we grumbled about it.
It might even be good for us!The Saudis are boycotting American goods.
We should return the favor.
An interesting thought is to boycott their GAS.
Every time you fill up the car, you can avoid putting more money into the coffers of Saudi Arabia Just buy from gas companies that don't import their oil from the Saudis.Nothing is more frustrating than the feeling that every time I fill-up the tank, I am sending my money to people who are trying to kill me, my family, and my friends.
I thought it might be interesting for you to know which oil companies are the best to buy gas from and which major companies import Middle Eastern oil.
These companies import Middle Eastern oil:
Shell........................... 205,742,000 barrels
Chevron/Texaco.........144,332,0... barrels
Exxon /Mobil..............130,082,000 barrels
Marathon/Speedway..117,740,000 barrels
Amoco... barrelsCitgo Gas comes from South America , from a Dictator who hates Americans.
Do the math at $30/barrel, these imports amount to over $18 BILLION! (Oil is now $90-$95 a barrel)
Here are some large companies that
DO NOT import Middle Eastern oil: < BR>
Sunoco................. 0 barrels
Conoco................ 0 barrels
Sinclair................ 0 barrels
BP/Phillips.......... 0 barrels
Hess..................... 0 barrels
ARC0................... 0 barrelsAll of this information is available from the Department of Energy
and each is required to state where they get their oil and how much
they are importing.But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of gas buyers. It's really simple to do.
Now, don't wimp out at this point.... keep reading and I'll
explain how simple it is to reach millions of people!!I'm sending this note to about thirty people.
If each of you send it to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300) ... and
those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000) .. and
so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth generation of people,
We will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers !!!!!!!
If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten
friends each, then 30 million people will have been contacted!If it goes one level further, you guessed it ..... THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!!
A gain, all you have to do is send this to10 people. How long would all that take?
If each of us sends this e-mail out to ten more people within one day, all 300 MILLION people could conceivably be contacted within the next eight days!
- basic chain email... but interesting if truerainman
- "all 300 MILLION people could conceivably be contacted within the next eight days! " yeahmolo

"The Exxon Valdez Oil Spill, which occurred on 24 March 1989, is considered one of the most devastating man-made environmental disasters ever to occur at sea"
How about pay for what you did back in '89, Exxon.

I got a similar email the other day, it suggested everyone simply avoid buying petrol from Shell and Esso.
I had a thought that it would be more effective and practical if people just got public transport.
