- Jonah Goldberg: One of the reasons it fails is that it's pretty much designed to. There is no vision, no set of shared values that truly unites the United Nations. You can't have a civil rights organization where Klansmen are welcomed as members; you can't have a softball team where half the players want to play basketball, and you can't have a global organization dedicated to the spread of human rights and democracy with nearly half the members representing barbaric, corrupt regimes. |

- The Hind Leg Project This is a call for contributions for a video project I'm putting together. (This is not a joke, by the way). You know how dogs if scratched/tickled in the appropriate way will make non-connecting scratching movements with a rear leg? Please video your pet making the appropriate movements, pop it on a web or FTP server somewhere and send me the URL. Alternatively (especially for mult-multi megabyte files), send a CD or DVD to my snail mail address as shown here. |
