Oil Bonanza!

That's right, if you own stock in one of the seven oil companies you are stinking rich right now. Oil companies are beginning to report their record profits for the past quarter. Billions of dollars have been made off a combination of increased demand and the hurricanes.

Remember how the oil companies were crying a few weeks ago because their off shore rigs were being hit by high waters in the gulf and the hurricanes' wind? Well, you made them all so stinking rich that if they piled that money into a mound it would literally reach the moon.

Did they use any of that money to help rebuild housing for poor and working people in the gulf? What do you think?

Yes, dear, Bush and Cheney are oil men. And they really feel bad for poor working folks and will be happy to tell them so, if they ever see any.

Exxon declares $9.9 billion dollars in profits for the previous quarter (three months) alone.

Miers Bails!

Did anyone ever think the administration was serious about this lady's nomination to the Supreme Court? The best theory is that they threw her out there so the opposition could kick her around and wear themselves out so that the next candidate, whoever that's going to be, will get through the process much easier.

On the other hand, this is the most arrogant administration to ever curse the White House. Judging by the administration continuous flow of ineptitude, one is left to suspect that they never did "get it." Dub-U liked this little lady, by golly!

More Than 2,000 Firms Involved in Iraq Oil for Whatever Scandel

This story is great! It sounds like the building of the Interstate Highway system here in the United States, where every primary contractor was either found guilty or pleaded no contest to illicit behavior in contracting to build the system.

When so many billions are involved, is anyone safe from temptation?
