Today we honour the efforts of labouring people by taking the day off. I should add that for me, every day is a day off.
My idleness will, of course, colour the tenour of my remarks. But my somewhat lame attempts at humour on this occasion do not negate the fact that I worked very hard for a living for 15 years. Before that I was a musician.
George W. Bush worked today. He made a surprise visit to Iraq (which prompts us to ask why he didn't announce it in advance). And it's hard work, subjecting the Americans stuck in that godawful place to his vapourish syntax.
