United Nations

That paragon of virtue and clarity and love for all mankind, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is scheduled to highlight the plenary address at a UN conference on Racism in Switzerland.

The Iranian President's speech is set for Holocaust Remembrance Day.

The man has publicly called many, many times for the destruction of Israel.

The good folks at the UN, or at least, their schedulers, must have a very deep sense of humour.

Australia, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Germany, Britain, the United States and Italy are among the countries who have politely excused themselves from this dark comedy.

Wheels Goes Round

Must be time for another Kelly Ellard- Reena Virk trial.

Nice to know our prosecution teams and our juries and judges are all doing such a fine job.

Here's the really good part.

That's right.
