Requiem for Sir John Browne, Green Poseur Nitwit

Sir John Browne spent his tenure at British Petroleum trying hard to convince the world that BP wasn't an oil company. Between the ubiquitous and annoying "Beyond Petroleum" ad campaign and scrimping on safety, Lord John did a good job of seeing that the company was bad at producing oil. What could be a more fitting sign of the true burial of the Browne era than word that BP has finally figured out how to open the spigots and let flow shitloads of wondrous hydrocarbons.
