Will Rogers used to wonder why people objected to politicians. “After all,” he was fond of saying, “we have the best politicians money can buy.”
It’s a slightly different point, but I sometimes wonder why some conservatives want to stop U.S. funding of the United Nations. (America picks up 20% of the tab.)
After all, where else could we go for such high entertainment as this:
On Monday, the U.N.’s Human Rights Council, led by a troika of the Netherlands, Botswana, and Saudi Arabia and including such human rights stalwarts as Cuba, will begin a review of alleged police misconduct in the United States.
No comment is really required from me, I think.
