HUMOR BLOGGING THE WAR IN ISRAEL, MONDAY JULY 24TH

U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice made a surprise stop in Beirut this morning before heading to Jerusalem. This infuriated the Lebanese leaders, who would have swept up some of the rubble had they known she was coming.

U.N. humanitarian chief Jan Egeland has actually accused Hezbollah of "cowardly blending" among Lebanese civilians. Well, that's the end of Egeland's career at the U.N.

Egeland is also asking the world to cough up about $140 in humanitarian aid for Lebanon. That money will actually be given to Hezbollah fighters to help them find somewhere else to live.
