Monetary Stuff

First:

The Obama campaign raked in $745 million in donations and they have a surplus of $30 million.

SO WHY, BY THE UNHOLY BREATH OF CTHULHU, DO THEY KEEP SENDING OUT FUND-RAISING E-MAILS???

Second:

With the crash in the price of crude oil from $150/bbl to under $50/bbl (and still dropping), it is going to be verrry interesting to see the P&L reports from Exxon/Mobil and the rest of the oil companies.

No tears will be shed from this blog if they have catastrophically low profits.
