#1 Isn't the UN having a conference in the near future on this? Did they pick the linen yet for the table settings? Emily, didn't you mention something about this recently?

These people in Darfur need protection first, before the aid rolls in.

#2 They'll hold the conference once the orders for the fois gras and champagne are placed.

#5 Come, come now.

Everyone knows that you cannot have a proper summit without the proper application of foi gras, champagne & caviar. Must have the fish eggs.

Place settings are far more important than you might imagine. Just consider what might happen if you place the French ambassador next to the the US ambassador. The Frenchman might surrender to the US before the negotiations have begun. Then how could he surrender to the Sudanese like we are arranging for him to?

Lots of details that must be done right.

#6 JR, actually, they don't put the french amb next to the german amb anymore for that very reason, sometimes they put the brit or merikan amb in between them just to make sure.

#8 Guys, guys...you gotta keep it in perspective. At least they're getting the numbers right (/sarcasm off/). What bean counters...people like this should be shot along with the goons doing the genociding.
