I'm also a usually quiet, reserved Lady, who enjoys books, tea, baking, and movies! I spend most of my time reading one of my favorite books or wishing I was reading my favorite books. My Grand Passion is history, particularly the Regency Period in England, when Jane Austen wrote, Lord Nelson defeated the French Fleet at Trafalgar, the Duke of Wellington defeated Napoleon, and men were Gentlemen and women Ladies. I cherish the thought of being a Lady and love manners, being proper, and having proper tea. My favorite tea is Twinings, especially Earl Grey or Prince of Wales. My specialty to make is Scones with Devon Cream. I am a Catholic and a Conservative.

"Annan: Bolton Must Cooperate With Envoys"

Yahoo News:

He cautioned that Bolton won't get what he wants if he tries to take on other U.N. diplomats alone.

"I think it is all right for one ambassador to come and push, but an ambassador always has to remember that there are 190 others who will have to be convinced, or a vast majority of them, for action to take place," Annan said.
Given the U.N.'s reputation, I guess nothing will ever get done, other than talk, talk, talk, talk, talk. Kind of like the 17 resolutions passed to reprimand Saddam.

Watch out, Kofi! Get ready for some tough love and reforms!
