Somebody give this guy his own island lair

Because BP CEO Tony Hayward is starting to worry his life's work will go uncompleted:

The boss of BP has said the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is relatively tiny compared with the size of the ocean but conceded it could cost him his job.


I'm guessing this guy knows "relatively tiny" (like in hats) and to think, fired before he gets a chance to pollute it all:

"The Gulf of Mexico is a very big ocean. The amount of volume of oil and dispersant we are putting into it is tiny in relation to the total water volume"


So to quote Eli, "look at all that water that isn't polluted" .... uh, like in New Jersey?

But not to worry, the other companies involved in this disaster are putting the public's interest first:

Transocean Ltd., the owner and operator of the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig that burned and sank last month, unleashing a massive oil leak into the Gulf of Mexico, will Thursday file in federal court a petition to limit its liability to just under $27 million

Yeah, dredging up that 1851 maritime law was clever.

And when all that oil washes up on the beaches, I think we ought to force the lawyers to live the life to which they've become accustomed... by force-feeding them oysters in salsa petroleo three times a day.
