I Smell Organic Fertilizer

Today someone trotted out the tired argument about those "evil oil companies and their obscene profits".

Somehow, Starbucks (18.5%) and Google (69%!!!) get a free pass, yet the gas companies are supposed to give away their product because Joe Average doesn't want to pay market prices.

Milk costs a lot. When was the last time you saw a dairy farmer standing out front of the grocery store, giving out free half-gallons because he charges too much for milk?

Obscene prices? Have you seen what "organic" food sells for? Those freakin' hippies are robbing us blind.

1 "Obscene profits"? It is to laugh. You wanna know what's obscene? Losses. Ruins everything.

That one year ExxonMobil made something like 38 billion dollars? I got a better percentage return on my 401(k). They'd be better served putting all their money into mutuals, and giving up the fuel business entirely.

Tell these jokers to start boycotting all oil companies until further notice, and enjoy walking to work.
