Where's my blood for oil money?

Naturally, I was joking yesterday when I said that I own a lot of stock in Exxon-Mobil. In fact, I own a modest number of Exxon-Mobil shares. Either way, I haven't enjoyed much of a windfall from the "blood for oil" war that we were promised. As you can see from this chart, Exxon-Mobil's stock price hasn't been moving much lately.
No bonanza for me. If any of the oil boys are making out like bandits now that the Iraqi oil faucets are in friendly hands, it sure isn't my fellow shareholders in the country's largest oil company.

Yahoo!'s share price, on the other hand, has been doing pretty well lately, and that company hardly seems dependent on access to cheap oil.

What's the deal? How could an oil war not benefit Exxon's stock price? Noam Chomsky, call your office.

You all are just driving down the price because we found out what you jews are doing....ha ha ha..sorry sorry. could not resist. I'm from down south and I have to admit I have heard some whoppers about the Jewish community in America. And the peaceniks sure have gone out of there way to say this whole thing is a Jewish/Israeli inspired war for oil. I just love it when sibling get married and become peaceniks.. a little inbreading southern humor there.

Gah, Stefan! Don't you see, it's all part of the oil fascists and their ruse to manufacture our consent.
