Did you catch the photo of Prime Minister Tony Blair that rocketed the Earth this week? He was seen looking over “laundry” that resembled, or, indeed, was underpants and swimming trunks. Fat-guy trunks, thankfully. Speedos would have been too much to bear. The “caption potential” on the photo was out of control. It’s moments like that, when a near-miss London 9/11 coincides with the PM’s vacation, that makes it all worthwhile.

On a serious note, call me a Tony Blair fan. God bless the U.K. and their comittment to keeping the meltdown at bay.
