"Dr. Watson, I presume?"
A new Hope and Crosby "Road" Picture? You know it's really Wartime
Now here's something you don't see every day:
An Irishman with a job and without a drink! Ha-ha! Just teasing.
This is, of course, U2's Bono with Secretary of the Treasury Paul O' Neill in Ghana... on a mission.
Good to see the boy making himself useful. (O'Neill, that is!)

Israeli embassy in Paris burns to the ground!
Is Paris Burning? Sadly, Oui.
This news absolutely shocks me: Israeli Embassy burned in Paris
My God. We knew these things had been going on to a minor extent, but I thought that Le Pen's showing in the primaries caused French anti-Semites to have some serious reflection, as well as the effect of the other anti-Israeli/anti-Jewish mayhem they've seen in recent months.
I've walked past this place when I was in Paris--it's in the middle of the city, not far from the Champs-Elysées palace where Chirac works and not far from our embassy either!
And President Bush is over there and so is Laura....We must pray them home and pray for the French people to be enlightened.
I thought this place was protected by soldiers with Ouzis...or it was when I saw it!
And to think the pompiers (firemen) of Paris let it burn(?).
I feel as if I'm hearing about Kristallnacht all over again!
Where is the French outrage?!? Almost all the French people I met there who were lovely were Jewish!
