3rd quarter profits are in for the big oil producers of this nation, and they made serious bank.
ConocoPhillips earned $3.8 billion in the third quarter, an 89 percent increase over a year earlier.
This with skyrocketing gas prices and the destruction of refineries due to the hurricanes.

Why oh why am I not surprised?

You would think that they'd be ashamed to show you this but I suspect you'll find their annual reports choc full of smiling faces.

Its apparent that the American people are interested in getting it from behind as hard and often as possible. Otherwise they would do something about it, like walk, or ride a bike, or take a bus. But they're resigned to not changing their routine and being liberated of as much cash as possible.
