According to news last night the UN is now WORSE then worthless. Apparently they are jamming the hotels and small airfields with DIGNITARIES such that true AID WORKERS are having difficulty finding lodging or distributing out aid most of which has to be FLOWN to the major disaster areas

We should not be surprised...after all it is winter in NYC and summer down under. The UN staff is staying in some of the world's finest 5 star resort hotels. The daily UN meeting is at 5 pm, that leaves plenty of time for swimming, diving, fishing, and golf. And they don't even have to spend stolen Iraqi oil for food funds for this winter respite.

The only surprise to me will be if anyone is left at UN HQ in NYC to unlock the door for visitors this morning.
