Some bad stuff is gonna go down in this building today.

In case you don't recognize it, that's the Unitied Nations building, which is about a ten minute cab drive from my apartment. Later today, at the General Assembly, Iranian Wackjob, I mean President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, will be giving a big speech. I think I spelt his name wrong there, but frankly the guy isn't worth me looking it up.

In a time when the US is roundly attacked for anything we do, or don't do, you gotta give us some credit that we allow for this morally compromised, unethical, flat-out evil organization to operate on our soil.

Oh, wait, I meant that in reverse. Why is it that we allow for this corrupt organization to sit on our soil? Having the United Nations in NYC, especially when it's being addressed by a nut like Ahmadinejad is the equivalent of the Justice League of America letting the Legion of Doom come to Metropolis and then have Lex Luthor give the keynote speech.

That's one of the better analogies I've ever made. Somewhere in the archives from about a year ago I listed the Justice League equivalent of the member states of the UN. The United States is Superman, England is Batman, etc. Everything being equal though, I prefer Marvel Comics, and in that world we would be Spiderman.

As Uncle Ben said, "With great power comes great responsibility." We could use a does of advice like that sometimes.

(No, not Uncle Ben the rice-guy. Uncle Ben, Peter Parkers dead-uncle.)

As long as I'm discussing America, you gotta love this new Free Speech segment on The Katie Couric Variety Hour, or whatever it's called. Basically, they are supposed to let people discuss anything they want, hence the title Free Speech. Bill Maher was gonna do it but for some crazy reason he was annoyed that CBS executives gave him a list of approved topics to choose from for the segment titled FREE SPEECH. Good stuff, CBS, good stuff.

I should be on that Free Speech segment to talk about all this. Anyone know how to get in touch with Katie?
