Exxon Mobil reported quarterly earnings of $10.3 billion on Thursday, a surge of 41% from a year earlier. Why? Higher prices for oil and natural gas. Profit at the oil company soared compared to the same period a year ago, when it was $7.4 billion. Per-share income climbed to $2.13 per share from $1.44 in the prior year. And revenue rose to $125.3 billion from $95.3 billion in the year-ago quarter, the company said.
Oldtimer said:FH- I heard on the radio- and saw on FB yesterday--besides half the women from your county heading to Williston for the $2000-$3000 a day paying jobs- your county already has an unemployment rate of 2.8%....
Those couple hundred left must be too old, ugly, or crippled to hang onto a pole!! :wink: :lol:
Most the counties around us were in the 3% unemployment rate- ours was 5% (but we are just now getting the oil boom)...
Really surprises me that since you call yourself a "conservative" you would oppose a President lobbying for more energy production projects -especially those that would benefit domestic oil production- and the removal of our depence on the Arabs and Muslim countries and overseas foreign governments that hate us... And join the treehuggers, greenyweenies, and NIMBYS....
WWBD- "What Would Bush Do" :???: (Give them another tax break)

But I do agree- it is time to rein in all the tax breaks GW gave the oil companies-- and since they and the cartels make up a part of the reason for the current national economic problem-- make those millionaires/billionaires pay their fair share....

Maybe I'm playing devils advocate. Does that sound familiar?

totally uncalled for, to insinuate what you just did is low,..
other then you becoming a sorry excuse of a man.. I don't care what your sorry excuse is.. and I doubt an apology would help but now would be a good time to try..

never once saw a person make a rude comment and stand after words.. usually some fine decent person within arms reach taught them some manners..
and for you to hide behind a woman's skirt is not what i would expect from a cattleman, a Montanan, or a former sheriff/judge..
but you did... since I can't come out and personally make you apologize I decided to let you defend your words , I sent a copy of this thread to the Montana state judicial standards commission.. so go peddle your sorry excuse to them.. I am not buying your lieing sorry excuse, maybe they will..

Steve said:censor?
huge difference between censoring and asking a person to show a bit of dignity and courtesy towards others..
but feel free to keep digging and blaming others for your offensive comments..
you claim to be a judge, and respected, well, any decent man would have just realized it was a stupid comment and apologized..
