Why Standard Oil?

Here at the standard oil blogspot we esteem the old monopolies of yesteryear and deride anti-trust law and the FTC. We also love cars and anything else that runs on petroleum. Standard Oil should never have been broken up. We know that seems crazy given how satisfied everyone is with the current status quo!
Do you know how fanatical in an almost religious sense anti-trusters are? Well, EXXON would be ESSO except the federal government forbade that moniker as it is a transliteration of the initials of Standard Oil: S.O.
When we were in junior high school our best friend was the great, great, great grandson of John D Rockefeller. We believe this fellow works for or serves on the board of the Natural Resources Defense Council. How low the mighty have fallen!
Anyway, as the name doesn't seem to be taken and we think it sounds nice for a blog and we love the old dead company we decided it worked for us.
