Quote of the Week: Take It Away, Tony Hayward
Earlier this week, Daily Brief offered its own suggestion for sealing the BP oil well in the Gulf of Mexico. While we agree that nuking the well probably is too dangerous, we think that nuking the company—specifically, BP CEO Tony Hayward—might be a viable alternative.
How so?
A careful analysis by Daily Brief labs indicates that releasing the hot air trapped inside Hayward would cause an immediate collapse of the well, staunching the flow of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. A small nuclear "bunker buster" should be sufficient to penetrate the dense, protective bone matter surrounding the target.
The extent of the hot air in question—known as the Hayward Stream—became apparent on Sunday when the CEO revealed in an interview why he is so eager to bring the historic seven-week-old environmental catastrophe to an immediate end. "I'd like my life back," he explained.
