Gentle Readers, Dr. J. falls into the camp of those against President Obama using force in Syria. Dr. J. has an open-mind, and would not mind if the president persuaded him otherwise. The president however has yet to do so, … Continue reading →
And lo, verily does Island Dweller throw down a little jotting: Most illustrious Sultan of the Steppes: Your faithful minion, though he be surrounded by water on all sides, still manages to maintain periodic contact with a former co-laborer for … Continue reading →
Subtitled: It is very likely that this report likely means very little for many with medium confidence. The UN’s IPCC began releasing an update recommending that countries prepare for “weird weather”. Seriously. They are “virtually certain” (which, apparently means a … Continue reading →
In April, 1949, the fear that the Soviet Union could completely engulf the war-ruined Europe was so great that twelve countries came together effectively to unite their militaries in the event the USSR continued marching West. Over time, many other … Continue reading →
Well, bully for the United Nations. Upon learning that the Qaḏḏāfī (the Czar is beyond trying to transliterate his name) government was mowing down its civilians, they sat right down and wrote an angry letter to the editor. They will … Continue reading →
And all this time the Czar has been saying that President Obama has completely failed to fulfill his promises on increasing the role of science in politics! Because we learn that Obama science advisor John Holdren will be appearing on … Continue reading →
FotG Jonah Goldberg has it exactly right when he explains what the Israeli blockade is really about and what it truly symbolizes. Better still, he asks some tough questions: if the UN is so pissed off about Israel’s collective punishment … Continue reading →
Whatever else you think of him, Mike Huckabee hits one out of the park as far as the Czar is concerned; in a convention speech, he had the common sense to suggest booting the UN out of the country. Actually, … Continue reading →
What a rare treat New York has enjoyed today. In addition to having Ahmadî-Nezhâd smearing his own feces on every clean surface he can find, Manhattan was happy to treat Mu‘ammar al-Qaḏāfī, who now now appears rather much like Carlos … Continue reading →
How badly can the current administration screw things up? Only 10 months after becoming the radically pro-environmental green-the-world carbon crediting, cap’n’trade president, Barack Obama has reduced the United States to environmental moron status, and China is the country we all … Continue reading →
The UAE is not generally hostile to the United States, and while most people do not always recognize who or what the UAE are, they all seem to know about the manic, over-the-top construction efforts that range from man-made islands … Continue reading →
The Czar really hates the United Nations. You all know this. Muscovy, for example, is not a member of the UN and never will be. Neither is the nation of TJICistan. The UN, if you don’t realize this, is an … Continue reading →
The Czar is glad someone addressed North Korea today! All the Czar can add is this. Successful underground test of a functional, remotely detonated nuclear weapon? Check! Successful test of an extended range rocket capable of carrying a functional, remotely … Continue reading →
Is he surprised that the UN made complete asses of themselves by letting Mahmoud Ahmadinejad address a conference on racism? No, he is not, for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad did his whole embarrassing denial of the Holocaust routine again exactly as the … Continue reading →
Keep sticking it to the UN! The State Department has correctly elected to boycott a UN conference on racism, basically because the UN has no clue what racism is. The Czar says right on! About time they got something right. … Continue reading →
It’s almost as if the UN is on a personal mission to infuriate the Czar. Evidently, UN General Assembly President Miguel D’Escoto Brockmann—continuing the fine UN tradition of awarding key positions to people with bizarrely exotic names—has declared the recent … Continue reading →
Can someone explain to the Czar why the United Nations is still a good idea? More than a week late, the United Nations has decided to take action against North Korea for its highly dangerous and illegal missile launch over … Continue reading →
The State Department wants us to understand that North Korea did not win any kind of PR battle. Even though they launched their missile. Even though the 6-nation interest over North Korea split along predictable lines. Even though the United … Continue reading →
Evidently, Earth Hour is widely endorsed by the United Nations…so much so, they will turn off the lights at the United Nations building for one hour this weekend. The UN claims this will save them $24,300 in operating costs. The … Continue reading →
Article 1The Purposes of the United Nations are: To maintain international peace and security, and to that end: to take effective collective measures for the prevention and removal of threats to the peace, and for the suppression of acts of … Continue reading →
Over at NRO’s Corner, Punditissimo Jonah Goldberg wonders why the heck Obama’s response is to refer the Ossetian War to the UN Security Council. I’d have thought the answer was obvious: the left’s innate aversion to any sort of positive … Continue reading →
