Here It Comes

My 19th Nervous Breakdown smothered in oil.

I'll update this as the true numbers come in. But this a peak via Suburban Guerrilla:

Pumped up by soaring oil, natural gas and gasoline prices in August and September, Exxon Mobil alone is expected to report quarterly profit of about $8.7 billion. That would be more than such titans as Coca-Cola Co., Intel Corp. and Time Warner Inc. earn in an entire year.

If this doesn't define economic obscenity, nothing does. And if it doesn't convince you that we have a fascist government (i.e. government/corporate partnership...not nazi) then I don't know what does.

As I said, I plan to update when all the numbers come out.
