#2 All of them recognize that the U.N. is the right body to lead, because it is in no oneâs pocket.

Yeah, we don't need to be in anyone's pocket. We got our own pocket. And we got a good thing going for us. Right, Kojo?

#3 Want to bet that September's agenda goes something like this?

Morning remarks: "Why the Jooooooos are bad" by Dr Mahathir Mohammed of Malaysia

Seminar: "When it came to 9/11, we wuz framed!" by whatever ancient Saudi prince is in charge of foreign affairs

Lunch: three hours at a five-star restaurant to be determined later...one of those $200 per person joints

Afternoon seminar: "Le Monde du Cowboy" by M Chirac

Afternoon remarks: "How to Pick Up Chicks in the Third World" by Scott Ritter

Open-bar reception to follow.

#7 Lucifer could have come flapping out of Hell on great bat wings, accompanied by battalions of demons, and if he'd been bringing groceries and medicines and helping to treat the injured, he'd have been accomodated.

But then the 'Islamic states' didn't really do much did they.... and nobody was suprised....

First rate fisking! But I can only give you a 9.5 - this doesn't have quite the degree-of-difficulty to give you a 10.0.

#10 Thankee kindly, Xbalanke. But all I wrote was the first line, "for giggles..." All the rest came from the snarky keyboard of Master Fred. My bit is in dark yellow, Fred's in the same yellow as all our comments below the article. Perhaps someday I will write something to earn the praise you are so generous with today. ;-)
