[UPDATE: bumped - for pure incredulousness]
Could November come any sooner? Not only will ExxonMobil announce third-quarter profits tomorrow, they’ve also got to be smiling from ear-to-ear about the recent appointment of former ExxonMobil CEO Lee Raymond to lead an influential study to develop policy solutions to America’s energy crisis! How ironic is that? The genius behind this appointment is energy secretary Samuel Bodman — another Bush standout with obvious ties to Big Oil.
ExxposeExon — a fantastic site that keeps tabs on the big boys — is pushing a campaign to “directed at Secretary Bodman to urge him to pull the project out from under Lee Raymond and his cronies at the National Petroleum Council and give it to an independent body that is NOT the mouthpiece of Big Oil. Congress members are being alerted as well.”
Do your part! Follow this link to submit a letter to Bodman and encourage him not to assign this too-important task to a conflict of interest. Unbelievable.

Hey guys, love the site. found this link on The Oil Drum. Was going to link to this article on LATOC but the idea that emailing Bodman (a bush appointee!) is some type of viable and intelligent response to Bush admin corruption had me laughing so hard I sprained a muscle in my side. =)

Benito Mussolini, the true father of fascism, had a pretty straight forward definition for his creed. He, in his seminal essay ‘The Doctrine of Fascism’, wrote;
“Fascism should more appropriately be called corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power.”

[...] I guess I’m just tired of watching energy companies behave badly and cause accidents that range from moderately environmentally damaging to threatening of entire regions of our globe. Then when anyone criticizes them or offers an idea that might limit growth or the profits of fat cats like this Jabba the Hut look alike, that person is demonized. (Remember Lee Raymond, the Exxon exec. that took home a 400 million dollar retirement bonus before being nominated by Bush to head a study on solutions to our energy crisis? No I couldn’t make this stuff up even if I tried.) [...]
