We all have our crosses to bear, I guess.


If you think gas prices are high, you can at least shed a tear for poor, downtrodden Imperial Oil:

Imperial Oil posts record annual profit of $2.6B, plans 3-for-1 stock split

Imperial Oil Ltd. reported record annual earnings of $2.6 billion Thursday as the largest energy producer in Canada also announced plans for a three-for-one stock split.

Calgary-based Imperial said record oil and natural gas prices during the year in tandem with stronger refining margins helped the company post the strongest profits in its 126-year history, surpassing the 2004 record of nearly $2.1 billion.

They feel your pain. Yes, they do.
