If there was a way to make the “Head Up Your Ass” picture into a .pdf file. I know a lot of people would make that into a poster or a large bumper sticker for all the world to see!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any takers?

[Arthur McGowan]

Should be good for a week or two.

There absolutely needs to be cameras. They need to capture the emptiness of ANWR and shove it in McCain’s face and ask him if he still wants to preserve its pristine condition.

“This is an issue that wasn’t even on the radar screen of most Americans at the beginning of the year!”

It’sbeen an issue with me since the early 70s.

Not only did we do contract construction work for all the oil companies in So. Calif but former candidate for governor Joe Shell was a good personal friend and in the 70s was the president of the Independant Oil Producers of California.

When Carter put in the 10% “excess profits tax” Joe told me that not only was it a well head tax that had nothing to do with profit but that it was the straw that roke the camels back and shut down 2/3 of the oil production in California.

He had 3 wildcat wells under way and the day that that tax became law BofA pulled his loans and told him to shut them down necause no matter how much oil they recovered they could never make a profit.

Calif. has a few hundred years of oil on and off shore thqt should be tapped and used.

This is a winning issue. Let’s hope more of our candidates get on this one.

That is why ExxonMobil, as well as all of the other majors have sold off most of their domestic production

Not true.

In the USA, they can make a 1% return on their investment

Also not true.

In my career, many times I have had to assist with the economic project justification of the capital investment. Never are the projects this low, 15% is more typical over the last couple decades.
