Asshattedness, Thy Name Is Egeland

As everyone knows by now, there was a huge earthquake that caused a tsunami in Asia that has killed, at last count, over 50,000 people. This is a huge tragedy which I feel will only get worse once disease starts setting in. I sincerely hope that does not happen, but it is a distinct possibility that must be anticipated and dealt with. My prayers are with everyone over there.

I am saddened by this event, but I am also mad. You know why? Because of the asshat pictured to the left. His name is Jan Egeland, and he is the UN undersecretary general for humanitarian affairs and emergency relief coordinator. He had the gall to say that the United States (and other Western nations) are being “stingy” with relief money. He proposed that we raise our taxes so that more money would be available for relief efforts. After a tongue-lashing by Colin Powell and others informing him that the US is indeed the greatest supplier of relief on the planet, he has now retracted that statement, but too late, it’s already out there.

Now if I were President right now, here’s what would happen. Any outstanding dues the US owes the UN would be immediately forwarded to Asia, the UN would never see that money. Next, I would send troops into the UN building and arrest any and all UN officials that might have had a hand in the oil for food scandal and send them to a federal prison. On second thought, that would be too good for them. The damage done was to the the Iraqi people, I’d ship them to an Iraqi prison and send Lindy England to watch over them. Then an Iraqi court could try them. In a few years or so. After that, there would be a wrecking crew showing up at the UN building to demolish it. That’s right, no more UN headquarters in New York, find a piece of land elsewhere to run your corrupt schemes from. New York could use a nice water park. Next, arrest any UN diplomat with unpaid parking tickets. There’s probably millions of dollars worth of uncollected parking tickets due to “diplomatic immunity”. No more. You’re under arrest until you pay up. All that money goes to Asia as well.

So take what we’re giving and have a nice tall glass of shut the hell up. And be thankful I’m not President.
