Yes, I knew I said I was leaving.
However, just saw this at atu2.com's news section and had to share:
Prime Minister Paul Martin's rock-star connections came back to haunt him when U2's Bono promised to kick his butt for failing to deliver a more ambitious commitment to African aid.
Although the U2 front man sang the current Prime Minister's praises when he appeared at the 2003 Liberal leadership convention, he warned that if Mr. Martin didn't live up to his rhetoric, he would come back and be a pain the butt.
Yesterday, he said that he is taking aim at the prime ministerial posterior. The good news is that Bono thinks it's a nice butt, or so he says.
Mr. Martin has refused to commit Canada to donating 0.7 percent of its gross domestic product by 2015 -- the United Nations target. And while Canada lags behind the average aid budget of wealthy countries, Mr. Martin refused to bend in the run-up to the summit, sticking to his budget commitment to increase aid from about $3 billion now to about $5 billion in 2010.
"No. I'm not satisfied. I'm going to kick his butt," Bono said. "As it happens it's a very nice butt, as prime ministers go."
He apparently meant to say he liked Mr. Martin, not assess his backside, and after his answer, he muttered to aid campaigner Kumi Naidoo,
"I didn't really say that about his butt, did I?"
RTFLOMAO!
*Now* I'm outta here to enjoy this beautiful day.
