New Batfish Species Found Under Gulf Oil Spill

eDarwin writes "Researchers have discovered two previously unknown species of bottom-dwelling fish in the Gulf of Mexico, living right in the area affected by the BP oil spill. Researchers identified new species of pancake batfishes, a flat fish rarely seen because of the dark depths they favor. They are named for the clumsy way they 'walk' along the sea bottom, like a bat crawling."

    I mean seriously, what did this guy do or fail to do?

    Lead and instill a culture of safety and accountability in a company with a history of dangerous cost cutting.

    He also produced some of the most incredible PR gaffes in recent memory. It's easy to hate someone when they're wholly unlikeable.
