"Strunzo" of the Week

Question - Why is this man, er I mean strunzo (turd) laughing?

Answer - That's the look of a man who screwed all of us by manipulating the oil prices the last few months.

He denied it in front of our illustrious Senators saying Oil industry earnings are "cyclical" and are currently in line with most other major U.S. companies.
What did people expect him say? “Yes, Senator, we took advantage of the people and used the hurricanes as an excuse to profiteer.”

His company Exxon earned $10 billion in the third quarter and profits from the five major oil companies were more than $25 billion during the July to September quarter. That's billions not millions.

How quick they were to take advantage of a tragic situation to profit from it. At one point there were so many increases that they had to hire someone just to post the price changes at the pumps.

Not only are these sleaze balls charging record prices and getting record profits but our government has been giving them record tax breaks. Wake up, they don’t need the record tax breaks, we do to pay the escalating fuel bills.

I had been reading all week leading up the hearings how our senators were going to grill the oil execs about the record profits. What happened was quite different for many senators used their time to ask the executives instead about pet projects in their home states or for their views on alternative energy sources, such as vehicles powered by hydrogen fuel cells.

Why don’t we get a list of these senators and send them our fuel bills this winter. If these senators had any coglione’s (balls) they would slap these companies with a windfall profit tax and use the tax money to help fund a federal program to help the poor pay their heating bills.

Why is the man up above laughing? Because he just heard Senate Energy Committee Chairman Pete Domenici, R-N.M., say that the hearing’s testimony had reassured him that the oil companies had not profited unfairly.

You can tell that money is going to be scarce this winter because of the higher heating bills when you see retail stores trying to lure shoppers in earlier than in previous years. They can see the handwriting on the wall. Higher heating bills mean less money to spend of Xmas gifts which means lower profits for them. One guy is laughing while millions are seething.

I wonder how many Senators have investments tied to oil companies.
