WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States on Friday offered needy countries more than 330,000 packaged meals donated by Britain to feed Hurricane Katrina victims but rejected due to a U.S. ban on British beef.


Overheard at the meeting:

"This is supposed to be fun!"

"Fun is relative."

Also seen (and felt):

The great downpour, flood, hotel leaking like a sieve of October 2005. It's gonna be a wild ride folks.
