This health shake contains brewer's yeast. I vomit.

So it's not bad enough that former ExxonMobil CEO Lee Raymond got a 150 MILLION DOLLAR (/drevil) retirement package. $150 million for NOT WORKING ANYMORE. Add that to the fact that he made something like $170,000 PER DAY last year and the fact that I'm paying $3 for a gallon of gas. Pretty disgusting in and of itself.

Then there's what he said at Columbia University last night. Apparently, the fact that we're all disgusted by this is our fault: (from CNN Money)

"People don't understand the time frame that we operate in. We operate in terms of 10-, 20-, 30-, 40-year cycles and to put that in context, that's 20 (U.S.) Congresses. A single quarter or a single year, which may mean everything from a political circus point of view, is not really all that significant in the time frame that we operate in," Raymond said.

He added later: "It's not like we didn't say it. But the only conclusion I think you can come to is, it didn't penetrate."

Let me translate for the bullshit impaired: "We know better than you, you're fucking stupid for not believing what we say, shut up and give us your money. After all, where the fuck else are you going to get gas? Chevron? Sunoco? I play golf with those guys. We decide gas prices over $50 Martinis at the 19th hole. Then we call our buddies at OPEC and cut them in for a taste."

It gets better:

"I have never had a conversation in my whole career about my compensation," he said.

OK, this just completely defies the entire concept of credibility. Are we to believe that he's never, EVER, discussed what he gets paid with the board of Exxon? That he's just said "Oh whatever you guys want to pay me is just fine."? Are you fucking kidding me?

He has the balls to defend his compensation! Anyone with any shame at this point (if they haven't decided to donate the whole kit and kaboodle to charity out of a sense of decency) would slink off to whatever tropical locale they happen to like, spend their money, and be fucking QUIET. But NOOO, this asshole has to insist there's nothing wrong with it, and if we disagree, we're stupid!

He's right. We are stupid. Stupid for allowing this cuntrag to get away with this. Stupid for not storming his goddamn mansion and stringing him up by his testicles. Stupid for not choking him to death with his own chins.

That's right, Lee. I'm advocating your slow, painful, public, drawn-and-quartered, choking on your own entrails, it's-too-good-for-you death. You fucking deserve it, you fat piece of shit. Do you have any idea how many sick children you could help with that money? Do you know how much damage you're doing to the middle class by squeezing every last cent out of their budgets? Do you know how many poor families will be unable to heat their homes this winter because you had to have a big payday? Do you even care that you're quite possibly the most disgusting example of a pigopolist IN THE FUCKING HISTORY OF MANKIND?

There's a limit to capitalism. Most people call it "human decency". You, however, need to surrender your human license.
