Chevron: Same spin, different day
4th in the series. I can post one a day for the 10 years the ‘drill-here,drill-now’ doctrine would take to make any tiny changes. And will.
Chevron declared profits of $6 Billion today, up 11% for the second quarter of 2008. Cumulative 2008 profits are nearly $12 Billion.
The usual “failed to meet expectations spin” followed their announcement.
Rep.John Culberson(R-TX) has been twittering from the House floor, claiming that Nancy Pelosi is trying to shutter public debate of the specious drill-here drill-now policy. Rep. Culberson, you are most welcome to visit this blog, enjoy the pretty pictures, and give me one strong, valid, logical argument for why “drill here, drill now” is even worth the air it’s being given.
Truth be told, it’s a pretty slogan intended to lull dumb Americans into selling out their coastlines and their humanity.
