There Goes the Three-Day Weekend

As if it's not bad enough that we've got an ongoing revolution spinning itself out, with critical developments daily, but now they say the Special Tribunal for Lebanon will issue its indictments on Monday.

This is three day weekend in the US, honoring Martin Luther King. I don't blog on weekends. I was hoping maybe I'd get one day off, but apparently not. (Nobody orders me to do this. I just can't keep quiet when stuff's happening.)

But since they've been poised for so long without indicting, why did they have to pick a holiday weekend? Lebanon could learn something from Doctor King, after all.
