Oil companies are high-fivin' !
Record profits and handouts by the Republican Congress and nobody is complainin'! They can't believe it! So they will continue to reap the huge profits so long as they can. At least until the people start to complain. They simply can't believe their good fortune. God must be on their side?

1. What good is it going to do to complain???
We must boycott the top producer, that's the only way we can affect anything. If anyone can think of a better idea, I'm all ears.

3. Yeah... uh, someone ask them how much of their record profits
are going to go to looking or developing new oil fields.

The answer will surprise a lot of people.

4. Or how about building more refineries?
Oh wait, then the price of gas would fall, and they'd lose their asses. Nevermind.
