April 7th - Martial Madness Day
Bloomberg and others report the United Nations is forming a new council, the Human Rights Council to replace the old Human Rights Commission. We here at TVFR are moved to think back to such lovely and ultimately meaningless catchphrases like Versailles Treaty, Locarno Pact and League of Nations.
No, remember we talked about this, only you are moved to remember shit that happened before I was born.
Which is practically everything in human history...
Canada and the United Kingdom are nominating (nominated?)(ok, standing for election then) for membership of this revamped farce as representatives of the entire western hemisphere. The U.S.o.M.N.A. has wisely opted out of this for the first 12 months (BITCHES!) prefering to sit on the sidelines and see how it all pans out - or doesn't - before nominating for inclusion in the new Council.
They have to figure out how they can swindle it to their own device before deciding whether to cut it down at the knees or spearhead it. Pay close attention to this one.
It's Canada and the United Kingdom, they already have it figured out. They take those two delegates to dinner, tell them exactly what the U.S.o.M.N.A. wants, and they instantly have two votes on the Council instead of one and can appear to the outside world to be completely disinterested in the whole process. The rest of the delegates get loaded onto a bus with Kenneth Copeland for a scenic tour around Lake Geneva and a lovely little chinwag about Jesus.
You're only getting one story today - but let's be honest, this one was worth it. The reason you're only getting one is because Anton and I have had other things to do during the time we would normally be writing TVFR for you godless hordes.
But I'll make up for it tomorrow and with a bit of luck, my grouchier-than-I cohort will stun you with his intellect if not his perspicacity and linguistic legerdemain.
(After he reassures himself of the correct spelling of legerdemain, misanthropic snarler that he is.)
