Who loves high gas prices? Halliburton!

[sigma7]

``I love these prices. The higher, the better,'' said Frank Gafke, of Galveston, a senior service leader for Halliburton on the Texas Gulf Coast.

Gafke said Halliburton's profits - and his savings account - had increased markedly since fuel prices began rising. He predicted that prices soon will reach $3 per gallon for automobile drivers, as well as for recreational boaters.

And, he said, relief at the pump probably won't come anytime soon.

``Oil just hit $66 per barrel and gas jumped up 6 cents,'' Gafke said. ``And if we take any action against Iran, that's only going to cause more price increases. But if you can afford the boat, it doesn't matter what gas costs.''

Google: "Don't be evil." Halliburton: "...Oh, go ahead."

Rich get richer

It's good to know that the haves can still smile and whistle a happy tune as they walk all over the rest of us. If I was over there instead of over here...actually it wouldn't be anything violent, he has lawyers. But the callous lack of thought for fellow human beings. Wait he is human right? I wouldn't want to lump him in with the rest of humanity if he doesn't belong there. I mean it could be libel, so I will apologize in advance for labeling Gafke as human without sufficient evidence. Am I allowed to call him a schmuck?

Anyway, I'm fine how are you?
