Big Brass Ones…

It’s not too often I come across a story that immediately inspires a post, but this is one such instance. I get home from a long day at work, relax, check my mail, email, news and what do I see on CNN.COM’s website?

“Oil industry disputes proposed budget trim”

Let me see if I get this correct:

1. $10bn profit caps Exxon record year
2. Chevron’s 4Q Profit Soars to Record High
3. Imperial Oil Ltd. reported a record annual profit of $2.6-billion
4. Nippon Oil’s full-year net profit will climb to 150 billion yen, a record profit
5. Shell Oil Posts Record $23 Billion Profit
6. IPSCO reports record earnings
7. etc

Want to have fun? Via Google News, search for “Record Oil Profit”
Oil Industry is upset at a Mere plan of $50 million in federal R&D funding Cut?
Guess the Oil company can’t find an Honest Politician…

As I said: Big Brass ones.
