I felt cynical about this concert from the beginning, but I don't have a right to gripe about it because I didn't watch it.

My thinking is that Bush won't do a dratted thing more to help--he insulted Tony Blair, IMHO, with the paltry offer--a sop--for additional aid to Africa, after Blair came over here to ask for help.

If the point of this effort was to raise global consciousness, then possibly it succeeded. I hope so.
