[tip o'teh tinfoil to Avedon]
If Exon doesn't strike your fancy, it's blood and souls for Chevron, too:
...Chevron said Friday that record oil prices drove second-quarter earnings up 11 percent to its highest-ever profit, but weak margins from gasoline production led to a big loss at its refining operations...
I'm sooo sorry, but they used the word profit. So instead of the sympathy-for-the-Devil phrase "...but weak margins from gasoline production led to a big loss at its refining operations...," they should have said "...despite weak margins from gasoline production led to a big loss at its refining operations..." Which wouldn't have induced sympathy at all.
Just sayin'.
