LONDON, England (CNN) -- British Prime Minister Tony Blair will delay the start of his holiday to work on a U.N. deal for a cease-fire in Lebanon, his office says.While there are those on that side of the pond who accuse him of being Drinky's be-zatch (and they might well be right) and continuing heat pours down on him, at least even the gesture of propriety seems to be in order.
Tony won't leave for vacation until something gets settled. W won't come back from vacation, even in the face of a national disaster.
We may think what we may about the Brits (and the rest of the planet) but let's face it, the world understands, I dunno...the world. Meanwhile, we've got Condi flapping around the globe in her plane like Steve fucking Fossett racking up miles and catching up on this year's hottest inflight movie releases.
For whatever reason yesterday, I was thinking what a rebuke it would be if the UN decided to up and take their HQ and put it someplace else like, Dubai. Or Paris. Or Hong Kong. Shanghai. Cities that are growing and represent a diverse opinion but moreover, an understanding of what happens globally and the fact that whether we want to throw up our silly little walls being guarded by the Minutemen militia because we gotta keep "them" out and "us" protected.
Take the lens caps off the binoculars, W. There's a big bad world out there.
of you have sat, and perhaps thought, with us!

We don't need Bush at the wheel. In fact I much prefer him on vacation. As long as Haliburton's in charge it really doesn't matter does it?
