And people wonder why I feel the U.N. is essentially worthless!
Cuba and China? Human rights? Good god! Why are we still participating in this farce?
China has got some real nice liver and spleens fresh from the political prisoners they got tired of torturing and finally executed. A nice bumper crop of kidneys too this year.
Honestly though. The U. N. is not worthless.
It's not.
What I was thinking the other day was that there ought to be a draft day for the U. N.

I mean if you can't let gun violence get out of control, allow racism, homophobia, and sexism to run rampant, as well as establishing a tacit theocracy... well then how do we know we can trust you as a nation?
America: "Hey! We resemble that remark!"
