Feeling pinched at the gas pump? Trying to decide between filling up your SUV and putting food on the table tonight? Well, feel better: Your hard-earned money has helped Exxon Mobil — the company that fouled Alaska in the most horrific spill of the 20th century — rack up some record profits.
Exxon made $11.68 billion this quarter. That's $1,485.55 a second — most of which is going to shareholders.
So, cheer up. Exxon is happy. The oil men who support the Bush Administration are happy. George W. Bush and Dick Cheney are happy. And it's all due to the financial sacrifice you make every time you pull up to the pump. So how can you not turn that frown upside down? And how can you not want to put even more money in the oil companies' pockets — by letting them drill in ANWR or offshore?
We cats are awfully glad we don't drive. If we did, we'd have to GROWL.
