Rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic



Kofi Annan launched his big plan today and he had his butt boy, Mark Malloch Brown, out dispelling those nasty rumors:
He refuted press accounts suggesting that the report is “a panicked response to the current crisis affecting the UN.” To the contrary, he said the timing “is highly propitious because it allows us to lay out an ambitious agenda for the future.”
I guess "ambitious agenda for the future" is Mark's quaint term for putting lipstick on the pig. Oh wait, I mixed my metaphors!
