And things will improve, of course! “Tony Hayward, the embattled chief executive of BP, has agreed to step down and be replaced by Robert Dudley, the company’s most senior American executive who is now in charge of BP’s operations in the Gulf of Mexico, according to a person close to the company’s board.” [NYT]

@Walking Still: Sherman! <– wait, that was the kid, right? Damn, I love you, Walking Still!
