Bonus gem

FT Energy Source reports:

"Total’s top table was the place to be sitting at last night’s Oil and Money dinner at the Dorchester Hotel in London."

[um]

Wait! it gets better:

"Delegates kept wandering past to congratulate Andrew Gould (right), the chairman and chief executive of Schlumberger, for being awarded the Petroleum Executive of the Year Award – the first service company to receive this award."

Petroleum Executive of the Year? Can I apply?

"Recipients are chosen through a confidential peer selection process involving CEOs and other senior energy executives."

Yep, sounds about right--selection process based on, in essence, sheer nepotism. I guess I'll sit this one out.
