Whatever.

Look, I'll be the first to say that there is a lot to criticize about the recovery in New Orleans. Heck, I’ve criticized it. But some U.N. commission, which never set foot in Louisiana, is now criticizing our recovery and saying it's a possible violation of human rights.

This, from the same organization that can't decide if the organized killing, raping and starving of tens of thousands of Africans in Darfur is "genocide"; that will not condemn the firing of dozens of rockets a month, sometimes dozens a week, into civilian areas in Israel (in fact, it gives those firing the rockets money); that was willing to look the other way, for a few dollars, of course, when Saddam Hussein spent billions on palaces and tanks while his people suffered; and that puts the likes of Libya and Cuba – not exactly stellar champions of human rights - on their commission promoting human rights.

I don't think the U.N. would know a real human rights violation if it came up and bit them on their expense account. So let me respond as gently and as diplomatically as I can:


Dear-U.N.-Persons-Who-Couldn't-Find-Louisiana-On-A-Map-Unless-Some-Staffer-Showed-You,

F**k off.

Hugs,

The Vast Majority of Louisiana


UPDATE: Here's a thought - maybe the reason the UN is opposed to tearing down delapidated, barracks-type housing in New Orleans is because in places like Cuba and North Korea, housing in this condition is the norm. We can't have the Great Satan making all those Worker's Paradises look bad, now can we??

while i'd love to say i agree with your point... you're an idiot so i can't. the un makes a lot of statements all of the time but it takes a vote and a pass through the security council for the UN to actually do anything.

so really, learn something,

1. At least I put my name to my opinions, not hurl epithets from anonymity. So while I may be an idiot in your eyes, you sir/madam are a coward.

2. Nothing you say refutes my point, which is that the UN can not, with any kind of authority, speak on the issue of human rights. Just ask the survivors of Darfur, Rwanda, or Srebrenica. And if there is any country where human rights are truly respected, it is here in the US. Ask yourself this question, friend - if you had to be in a prison in Cuba, would it be in one run by Castro, or by the US Army??

3. [SHIFT] keys are located at both the left and right perimeters of your keyboard for your compositional convenience. They make little letters become BIG letters, called "capitol letters." Most people, even idiots like me, know how to use them. So really, learn something.

ananymous from Baton Rouge:

You're famous.

Well, as famous as I can make you, anyway.

Heck, famous enough to impress me.

Another thought about the absence of capital letters - AT LEAST ANONYMOUS WASN'T SHOUTING.
