Stand down, jerk

Does anyone care that "Wayward" Hayward has lost the coveted CEO title? Here's a tip: When you are the CEO of the company, that company is your life. You do not say things such as, "I want my life back" nor do you stand idly by while your chairman says things like, "We care about the small people." There is no one who is dependent on Gulf water for their livelihood who is "small," moron.

I, for one, am thrilled that the person who will now come in and act as CEO is someone who is actually from the region. Robert Dudley has been a head of a disaster management unit. He got his MBA at SMU and did his undergrad at Illinois (Urbana-Champaign). He grew up in Mississippi.

I think he understands that there is no wishing for his life back or small people. And the fact that an American is running a London-based company says something about how important this particular market is to BP.
