Hey a big congratulations and shout out to EXXON Mobile! Yes our friends who had that nasty accident WAY back in ancient history (Palin denies they even exist) are back in the news! This time is record profits! Woo Hoo! Profits up 58%! Wow that's alot!
Third quarter earnings for 2008 were listed at $14.83 billion. Yep that turns out to
be about 164,777,777 per DAY for the quarter in PROFITS! Go team!
Some of the stories do note, however that Exxon is in trouble, as the world, you know, runs the fuck out of oil, War in Nicaragua "slows production", Hurricanes express god's fury at these cocksuckers etc. "But Exxon, which prides itself on its long-term view of the business, appeared unfazed by the decline."
Hrm, no kidding? Well after "Exxon’s profit has exceeded $10 billion in 9 of the last 12 quarters" I would not be that worried either.
Oh, for more great stuff on the subject:
