"In a file photo Exxon Mobil Corp. Chairman and CEO Lee Raymond laughs during a news conference in Dallas, Wednesday, May 25, 2005. Exxon Mobil Corp., the largest publicly traded oil company in the world, on Thursday, Oct. 27, 2005, said third-quarter profit surged, buoyed by higher crude-oil and natural-gas prices, even as the period's hurricanes hampered production. Revenue grew to $100.72 billion from $76.38 billion in the prior-year period." (AP Photo/Donna McWilliam)

Sorta like the way they make politicians look larger than life....

There is no such thing as a value-neutral picture, article or message board post. It carries the biases, recognized or unrecognized, of the author. But compensating for that biase introduces distortions of their own. At least an actual picture is true from the angle it was taken from. You can quarrel with the angle, but you can't quarrel with what the angle reveals.

Price of oil/gasoline is fixed by the commodities spot markets. This is a reflection of the price we are willing to pay. Look in a mirror and you'll se why prices are so high.
 
To be fair to the guy, most of the pictures I pulled up on Google don't show him to be nearly the fat cow he looks like in the picture above. This one is more typical.

Even so, the picture above is still pretty funny. He should concentrate on losing that double chin for the sake of his own image.

Giving it some thought, I'm guessing that it must not bother him much. What -- do you think he's been diligently saving up for the chin tuck, but just hasn't quite been able to scrape together enough yet. . .?
 
The Unhappy CEO...

"Rick Wagoner, chairman and CEO of General Motors Corp. announces plans at the company's headquarters in Detroit, Monday, Nov. 21, 2005 to cut 30,000 manufacturing jobs and close nine North American assembly, stamping and powertrain facilities by 2008 as part of an effort to get production in line with demand and return the company to profitability and long-term growth. Wagoner said GM also will close three service and parts operations facilities as part of the manufacturing cuts." (AP Photo/Carlos Osorio)

Uh-oh. . . I'm 44 years old, and still meet the same Marine Corps height & weight standards that are designed for the 18-22 crowd, but I just noticed that my jowl is starting to hang ever so slightly. Is this what I have to look forward to???

I'd say Wagoner is quite happy, as HIS job isn't among those that will be eliminated.

I wonder how much share and money GM can lose before Slick Rick loses his job...
