#2 THE Volcker inquiry into the Oil-for-Food scandal called for a significant overhaul of the UN yesterday as it prepared to reveal details of âserious instances of illicit, unethical and corrupt behaviourâ at the world body.

Keelhauling would be even better.

#3 I believe it was Claudia Rosett who pointed out that while Kofi's now whining that the UN should never have been involved in the first place, he was originally whining for the expansion of the program and had a personal hand in installing everyone who's been rousted for corruption so far.

And has anyone seen Mikey? Odd that he's not commenting on this stuff. I would have thought it would be important to him, considering the regard he has for the UN.

#5 Gee whiz, "serious instances of illicit, unethical and corrupt behaviourâ from the toadys and hangers-on of the world's kleptocrats? Wotta surprise! Quick, notify Inspector Gadget!

Then toss 'em all out and burn the buildings. It's the only way to sterilize the area. Even the rats in Manhattan have some standards...

#6 The Volcker inquiry into the Oil-for-Food scandal called for a significant overhaul of the UN...

Is 'significant overhaul' a polite way of saying 'line them up against the wall"?
