The blues of a scribe

I was worried recently about the mental state of the indomitable Fisk. He forgot to mention Israel in his article at the time, but I have seen today that he is recovering. At least in this aspect.

But...

It seems that the poor dork is depressed. Just look at this:

So what can a Middle East correspondent write on a Saturday morning except that the world in the Middle East is growing darker and darker by the hour.
Indeed, we see a spot of trouble for a Lebanon-based journo. Nothing really to report about...

But no worries, he made a miraculous recovery just a few lines later:
Next week, we are supposed to believe in peace in Annapolis, between the colourless American apparatchik and Ehud Olmert, the Israeli Prime Minister who has no more interest in a Palestinian state than his predecessor Ariel Sharon.
Three birds with one stupid sentence. Prozac time, Fiskie...

P.S. Who is it precisely being called by Fisk "colourless American apparatchik"? Hmm...
