Exxon Mobil nets a cool $10.26 billion in Q2

Gosh, how are they going to find the money to fund global warming denier Lee Raymond's retirement program? You know if the GOP still controlled Congress, they would be shoveling over more corporate welfare because Exxon only hit $10.26 billion, down slightly from Q2 2006 when they set the all time record for a quarterly profit. At least Exxon found a schmuck from the AP to give them an easy headline "Exxon Mobil 2Q profit slips" in hopes of minimizing the downright massive profit they just reported.

A normal company in the energy business might invest profits like this in alternative energies but no, not our good friends from Exxon. Exxon remains stuck in the stone age, unwilling to invest in renewable energy but you know they will be the first in line for government handouts, crying that they they need help, when the tide shifts. Think about that the next time you are looking to fill up your gas tank and think about how much Exxon is squeezing today and how much they're going to ask you to pay them tomorrow. The choices are all pretty bad but at least the other Big Oil powers are making some kind of an effort to divest. Let Exxon sell to the Fox News crowd.
