Irony overload

| July 12, 2007

Just doing my daily blog reading and from two of my favorites too much irony for one person to stand – so I pass off some of it to ya’all. First from Atlas Shrugs, the all-by-itself-laughable story of the UN’s new Global Compact initiative to teach private business to be more responsible;

Its goal is promoting more virtuous behavior on the part of private business, and just last week it hosted what its own brochure described as an “historic” two-day corporate jamboree at the UN’s palatial offices in Geneva.

And then, as if by magic, I turned to Bloodthirsty Liberal to read;

A new audit has found that renovating the iconic U.N. headquarters building is already $148 million over budget, long before the dirt has been shoveled.

Delays and design changes to the nearly $2 billion project have created the initial cost overrun, according to a report from the U.N. Board of Auditors, which further finds that the United Nations has yet to undertake important pre-construction surveys.

So, the most innefficient, nonproductive, irresponsible and corrupt entity in the world wants to teach us all how to be successful and responsible.

Well, if they can put Cuba on the Human Rights Council and Zimbabwe on the Sustainability Commission–and run brothels and child-sex rings around the world–then sure they can lecture about best business practices. Entirely consistent.

We’re in need of a change. The UN-building is old and tired, just like Americans who have funded it since its conception. So we should UN-invite them to take their show on the road, PRC would be a nice change since they all vote that way. Then we can UN-ass from that BS organization and give neutrallity a well earned chance for a time. GD Wilson got US into this quagmire of World (DIS)Order. Revive the America First activists. Then we can concentrate on de-lousing our country.
