| 2006-10-21 |
 Jan Egeland, the Norwegian diplomat who's been heading the United Nations' emergency aid operations, has signalled his intention to leave his post as an under-secretary general by the end of the year. Egeland has been the chief coordinator of the UN's relief efforts since 2003, working closely with UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, who also is leaving the UN on December 31. |

| #6 In his resignation letter, Egeland lamented, "The most disappointing aspect of my tenure was that I failed to guilt America into embracing internationally recognized levels of self-loathing enlightenment sufficient to force adoption of progressive taxation, which would have resulted in achieving a higher level of socially conscious humanitarianism than disbursed by the current world leader, the United States of America. |

| #5 Jan Egeland has saved me hundreds of dollars in donations...I shoved back into my wallet and deeper into my pocket, when I saw his 'melle mouthed face' on the tube. I got tired of him quickly, shoving it to the US every time we bent over backwards to help the needy! |

| #4 Probably needed someone as clueless as he was to be able to hold onto his job there. The new guy is probably fart too well versed in supplying food and emergency supplies to the hungry and would be smacking him down every five minutes. |
