• Wait, We're Supposed To Be Scared Of The UN?

  The best part of this article is the comments, where we get a huge mass of sputtering incoherence from all sides of the political spectrum. Insufferably smug self righteousness from the left, random rants from the right, and placid amusement at the antics of the animals[1] from me. But I felt obliged to share my own addition to the intellectual discussion here:

  I'm still trying to figure out how the UN could possibly be a threat to anything or organize any sort of conspiracy. The UN is basically a dumping ground for every tinpot politician's indigent relatives and/or a way to reward big money campaign contributers with a vacation to a desirable country at taxpayer expense for a couple of years. The entire UN, working together (OK, those last four words make no sense when written in that order, I admit), could not pour piss out of a boot if you told them the instructions were on the heel. Five years after being given the task, they may manage to agree to form an exploratory committee to draft a working document regarding the creation of a multi-national agency dedicated to researching, analyzing, documenting, and evaluating various modes, means, and methods of evacuating urine from footwear, but they'll need a few million more dollars for continued study in order to facilitate the development of a platform for continued discussion.

  Let's face it -- as sources of world-dominating evil go, the UN is pretty much Paste Pot Pete rather than Galactus. 

  Benny Hill said it best:

  "When some poor nation's in trouble,

  And can do nothing, son,

  That's when the United Nations meets

  To decide that nothing can be done."

  [1]HL Mencken was asked why, if he was so critical of America, did he still live here? He replied, "Why do men go to zoos?". Caper for me, amusing beasts! Caper!
