Tuesday Timewarp: Two Kinds of Oil

On this political evening, I bring you one of the great political bands from the 1980's: Midnight Oil.



MO's lead singer, Peter Garrett, left the band in 2002 to further his political career. In November 2007, Labor Prime Minister elect Kevin Rudd named Garrett Minister for Environment, Heritage and Arts.

Ok, shifting gears... the second oil.

My friend Rob sent me the following information on what oil companies to boycott. I thought I'd share this with you. Here's an excerpt from Rob's e-mail.

COMPANIES TO AVOID.
These companies import Middle Eastern oil:

Shell................................. 205,742,000 barrels

Chevron/Texaco.................. 144,332,000 barrels

Exxon /Mobil....................... 130,082,000 barrels

Marathon/Speedway............ 117,740,000 barrels

Amoco.............................. 62,231,000 barrels

And CITGO oil is imported from Venezuela by Dictator Hugo Chavez who hates America and openly avows our economic destruction! (We pay Chavez's regime nearly $10 Billion per year in oil revenues!)

The U.S. currently imports 5,517,000 barrels of crude oil per day from OPEC. If you do the math at $95 per barrel, that's over $524 million PER DAY ($191 BILLION per year!) handed over to OPEC, many of whose members are our confirmed enemies!!!!!

COMPANIES TO PATRONIZE:
Here are some large companies that do not import Middle Eastern oil:

Sunoco...................... 0 barrels
Conoco..................... 0 barrels
Sinclair...................... 0 barrels
BP / Phillips............... 0 barrels
Hess. ........................ 0 barrels
ARC0....................... 0 barrels
Maverick................... 0 barrels
Flying J. .................... 0 barrels
Valero........................ 0 barrels

I AM GOING TO ADD THE FOLLOWING:

Murphy Oil USA sold at Wal-Mart is from South Arkansas and owned USA

Not only that they give scholarships to all children in their town who finish high school and are legal US citizens.

I encourage you to share this information with friends.
