No rest for the weary

The United States was working with France on a U.N. resolution to end the fighting between Israel and Lebanon's Hizbollah guerrillas and propose a "road map" for a political settlement.
State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said a deal seemed close with France, adding, "We are prepared to work through the weekend."

That's really tough, Sean-o. I appreciate your huge struggle and the favor.


Neither [US Ambassador to the UN] Bolton nor [French ambassador to the UN] de La Sabliere attended a briefing to the Security Council on the growing humanitarian crisis in Lebanon.

But maybe if the briefing had taken place over the weekend they would have been prepared to sit through it.

Honestly, what the fuck are they doing?
