Halliburton shareholders meeting a spectacle |
|
Halliburton's 37-minute shareholder meeting today attracted more than 300 protesters including a jazz combo, women dressed all in pink and a 25-foot inflatable pig.

In sharp contrast to the street spectacle, the shareholder meeting was a quiet affair.
In just 27 minutes, shareholders listened to Lesar's report on the company's financial state, elected 11 directors and rejected proposals to split the jobs of the chairman and CEO between two people, to change the election process for directors and to create an oversight committee to review Halliburton's operations in Iran.emphasis on Iran mine http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/front/2579805

6. And no pre-emptive action |
|
action against them, no carpet bombing or even sanctions against Halliburton, seem to contridict shrubs "Either with us or against us" policy.

7. "Piggies," George Harrison: |
|
Have you seen the little piggies crawling in the dirt And for all the little piggies life is getting worse Always having dirt to play around in ...
Have you seen the bigger piggies in their starched white shirts You will find the bigger piggies stirring up the dirt Always have clean shirts to play around in ...
In their styes with all their backing They don't care what goes on around In their eyes there's something lacking what they need's a damn good whacking
Everywhere there's lots of piggies living piggy lives You can see them out for dinner with their piggy wives Clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon

9. Three cheers for not taking the corporate nonsense quietly: |
|
'The four men and women chanted: "Halliburton, Kellogg, Brown and Root — go to Iraq to loot, loot, loot."'
