Sadly BP’s Dastardly CEO Tony Hayward was asked to leave in order to “get his life back.” This news greatly saddened us at Faustian.com and we were forced to liquidate our BP stock as a result. Fortunately, we replaced it with better valued shares in Helix Energy, which is being paid to clean up this mess.


Only a truly evil Brit, like Hayward, could steadfastly commit to paying out a blood dividend while the rest of the Gulf was awash in tar. Why this once mighty company would decide to throw its own Ebenezer Scrooge under a tanker to be replaced by the more affable Bob Dudley is a wonder. I guess that being “sorry” isn’t what it used to be.
What is to become these Oil Men and their amazing deep water machines? And what of top kill, static kill, and now the much vaunted “Relief” well?
Thank God for Obama, and for his thankless optimism, which in the end just made all the oil… well just sort of disappear.
