Things are heating up in Scotland...

Things are heating up in Scotland! Live 8 got things rolling and that's what the people are doing, rolling into town to be heard. Bob Geldof kept the pressure on this weekend in the media, and loads of African activists have been showing up to get their point across. What will the G8 leaders do? Will they notice? Do they even care? In other news, I heard Bush basically say he doesn't owe Tony Blair a damn thing. "I don't view this as a 'quid pro quo' relationship", Bush said. Say what? Man, that's cold! Blair has been his boy, his runnin' partner for this whole war on terrorism & Iraq thing since day one. When nobody wanted to hear about it Blair was beating people's eardrums and twisting political arms to get them on board. He told his own people to 'piss off, we're going', when it came time to go to war. Even though there were nearly a million people on the streets of London screaming 'No!' Blair has caught all kinds of hell in his own Parliament, as he stood up for Bush, and supported him, and this is how Bush repays him. I can only hope that Blair wakes up and realizes which side his Texas toast is buttered on. Otherwise he's one of the biggest suckers around.
