Huh?

United Nations representatives, coming to the U.S. at the invitation of the US government, will investigate America for racism.

Very appalling. One good thing, though: we can tell them that they might start their investigation at UN HQ in New York. Didn't some fellow named Ahmadinejad hang out there a few months ago?

UNbelievable

I've talked about my criticisms of the UN and its corruption before.
Today, more evidence of it:

"Just weeks before it announced the onset of a global food crisis and the urgent need for donors to provide at least $775 million in additional funding, the World Food Program was sitting on a cash and near-cash stockpile of more than $1.22 billion."

More UN corruption

More details here:

"The United Nations Development Program (UNDP), the U.N.’s anti-poverty flagship, has overridden its own rules requiring competitive bidding for procurement contracts on more than half of the $1.5 billion in goods and services it paid for over the past three years, an investigation by FOX News has determined."

Gee, what a surprise.
Remember the Oil-for-Food program?

President Bush at the UN today

"It wasn't a bad speech. It could have been so much better."

I mean--Burma? Myanmar? A laundry list of support for UN initiatives? Today? Right after Ahmadinejad at Columbia?

Captain Ed: "The UN does not need a State of the Global Union address -- it needs blunt, honest truths about its shortcomings and the necessary steps to bring prosperity and freedom to the entire world." Amen.

UN-believable

Why doesn't the continuing mess at the United Nations get more attention? Oil-for-food scandals, corruption at its bureaucracy's highest levels, scandalous behavior on the part of UN "peacekeepers", and now they can't even begin to plan renovations of the UN complex in New York without it going massively overbudget--before any dirt has been shovelled. Details here.
