#2 Hell, don't do it quietly.

Block their wasting more of our money out loud, right in front of God and everybody.

#3 UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan has asked for an authorization of $100 million in new spending to get the work under way later this year,

....and the contract award goes to Kojo Construction Company, a US title 41, Federal EO 11458 and 11625 registered firm.

#4 Put it on fast track. Right there behind President Thomas Jefferson's request to convert to the metric system.

#5 I hear that property in Dafur is really cheap now-a-days. Lots of room to expand and they may even have a few underage girls and boys left...

#6 They should paint the interior of that builing in pink, all of it. The chairs, the bathrooms, the people...pink pink pink.

#7 It'd make more sense to sell the land in manhattan and use the proceeds to build a new UN headquarters in a more inexpensive place like Harare or Pyonyang.

#8 I can't believe Annan is serious! In these days of budget cuts for the cost of freedom, we have absolutely no slush funds for them to waste. We'll get back to the UN when we get our federal deficit balanced. Maybe they can build a spacious building on cheap land in Iran after it gets leveled? Keep an eye on the mullahs, and all.

#9 Get the UN off of American soil! It has tarnished itself beyond redemption and is essentially a source of intelligence agents from every single other country on earth. The UN needs to be moved to some backwater bumf*ck location where appointment constitutes a punishment posting. Only the most dedicated and altruistic world government types would seek the assignment. The only money we spend should be to provide free demolition and removal of the old offices once they are abandoned. They are nothing but a disgrace to human and political integrity.

#11 I'd like to %&*#@ all of these $%&@# until they can't *&^# before sun-up with a pole up their @%$&* inserted sideways! Then I'd #%$&* all of their daughters for afters once they'd %^@#* me twice and let my wolf-hybrid $%&^* them too! Then I'd wrap them all in duct tape, %$&*@# them again and sell the video online.

#14 It's sorta like Joe with symbols instead of caps, except that you left out Hillary references.

#15 If you're gonna do all that, might as well *$@%&$#% them, too. Not much fun for the gerbil, but what the heck...
