Here Is A Happy Man...

Here is Exxon Mobil Corp. Chairman and CEO Lee Raymond laughing during a news conference. He has every reason to be happy. While all hell is breaking lose in the world's economy his company is posting record profits:

Exxon Mobil Corp. had a quarter for the record books. The world's largest publicly traded oil company said Thursday high oil and natural-gas prices helped its third-quarter profit surge almost 75 percent to $9.92 billion, the largest quarterly profit for a U.S. company ever, and it was the first to ring up more than $100 billion in quarterly sales.
