What’s the difference between 1. John Dillinger’s severed penis (allegedly) kept in a secret display case at a museum and 2. yours?
P.S. Aside from the fact that his is bigger.
P.P.S. And gets more action.
(where is that old fucker?)
(sigh) Despite all evidence to the contrary, I would still bet a dime against a bottle of piss that we will someday have a thread here that no one can drag into the gutter.....
What would be the fun in that? Peckerhead!
I resent that, Tannenberg! It was a fruitful comparison. Both the UN and Dillinger’s dead pecker are : huge, impotent, malodorous, a fantasy, not worth a f*ck .... Someone else can continue.
I recently finished “Inside the Asylum” by Jeb Babbin, who was a deputy undersecretary of defense for President Bush 41. His work is subtitled ‘Why the United Nations and Old Europe are Worse than You Think.’ The book was a pretty quick read at about 140 pages before the notes section and reinforced many of the ideas that I believe in. Chances are, by virtue of the fact that you are reading this, you probably believe them too.
Mr. Babbin asserts that the UN has become the leverage by which despotic, 3rd world regimes attempt to hold the US in check. Since economically and militarily, these nations stand the same chance against the US as a pair of edible boys briefs stand surviving the night at a NeverLand Ranch sleepover, these banana republics fight us with their most viable option, Kofi and Company. “Inside the Asylum” also describes the confusion which surrounded our troops when they discovered shiny new and almost new military hardware behind Iraqi lines with “Made in France” stamped on the side. To be fair, some of the weaponry also said “Made in Germany”, and a few were marked with something written in Russian. Other interesting anecdotes included how hard working the Iraqis were who staffed the UN Oil-for-Food HQ in Baghdad. These busy beavers were very helpful as they ran the switchboard, fax machines and photocopy rooms.
But while the stories are an outrageous indictment of the corrupt sham that the UN and some European ‘allies’ have become, it didn’t surprise me. Maybe that’s because I’ve become a jaded, cantankerous old fart (but for now, still a 39 year old fart). I have come to expect that the UN is a joke when it allows Sudan, Cuba, China, Zimbabwe and similar havens of free speech to be on their Human Rights Commission. I expect a forum that allowed Uganda’s dictator Idi Amin to call for the extermination of Israel to be a farce. I expect uselessness from an organization that allows the post-menopausal barroom skank known as France to delude itself into thinking it still has some charm by giving it the keys to the men’s bathroom - in the form of UN security council veto power.
One of Jeb Babbins story lines that did educate me was about a Bush initiative announced in May 2003 called the Proliferation Security Initiative or PSI. The PSI will attempt to do what the bloated rat’s nest at the UN will not - stop the proliferation of WMD among rogue nations. Somehow Dan bin Rather and the news hounds at the Al-CBS network glossed over this story. Eleven nations, operating independently of the UN, are taking active roles to intercept and disable WMD and their components before they can get into lawless hands.
In fact their first public trophy over the mantle is Libya. While Muammar Qadafi’s decision to disarm made national headlines, the story behind his decision was not known - at least to me, and I expect a few others. According to “Inside the Asylum”, Libya did not simply surrender their centrifuges. A Libya-bound vessel was docked in Italy when it was boarded and searched by Italian authorities and the cargo was seized (Italy is a member of the PSI). Caught with his hand in the uranium jar, Qadafi decided to disarm. Negotiation didn’t cause this, action did.
Looking back on this book, maybe I was being too harsh by saying it was not surprising. It was. I have over a dozen Post-It notes inside a text of about 140 pages. I also have alot of notes in the margins. I would probably suggest waiting for the paperback or to see if the hardcover price drops from $27. I would certainly recommend it then.
Who says we’re not substantive? Thanx to tuffbeingright I saved myself $27 and am satisfied to wait for the paperback.
