Silly Little Country

Earth has not anything to show more fair

I took a Vienna-London flight Monday, and it fulfilled the hopes I always have for such a trip. As we descended and broke through the clouds, I found myself staring down at the London Eye and Westminster; always a beautiful sight. What struck me particularly was that Hyde Park had clearly not yet been fully cleaned up after London's piece of Live8, and it got me thinking I should try to express what I thought of that effort, however well-meaning it was.

I have been saved the effort. Mark Steyn hits the spot again with his usual superbly targeted humour.
