Things have been going pretty nicely for Tony Hayward lately. He finally got taken off that bitch of a project his boss had him working on ’round the clock, thereby freeing up his time to really get out there and live life to the fullest, he was able to take in some nice yacht races and his sets at the Laugh Factory‘s latest open mic night went really, really well (NB: with the right execution, an oil spill joke can be quite the crowd pleaser).

Some stuff went down in the Gulf Coast recently– would rather not rehash– and while it’s nothing to freak out about, things are a little tense. In the meantime the company needs, uh, just like a few clams (too soon for shellfish humor?) to tide itself over. Thinking like a few bill, give or take a few more bill. Continue reading »
Serious Question: Is Tony Hayward Even Going To Turn Around And Acknowledge The Lady Protestor Attempting To Rip Off Her Top?
By Bess Levin
Or is he just going to keep staring straight ahead and pretend there’s nothing going on behind him? (Bonus question: did the blond woman next to her go “she’s a stripper”?) Continue reading »
