I've been remiss in mentioning the London bombing. I don't know why, exactly, except that, in my cynical way, what goes around comes around. This is a piece by James Wolcott. It's a few days old, but well worth the read. Here is a bit:
Like Johnny Rotten in "No Feelings," President Bush has got no emotions for anybody else, and can't be bothered even to go through the formal motions, having so many more important, interesting things to do, such as fall off his bicycle.
"Why didn't President Bush visit London? Why didn't he walk the streets, take a few questions from the press, show the power of his office to Londoners? Stand at the side of Tony Blair and Ken Livingstone?"
Because, to repeat myself, he just couldn't be bothered.
