#1 "The world's wealthiest countries are failing to deliver on their promises to ~~give money to the world's poorest nations~~ provide more new Toyota Landcruisers (in white with leather upholstery, please...and don't forget the XM Satellite Radio), 5-star hotel suites and teenage prostitutes for our officials , a UN report says."

#3 The UN report says there has been some improvement but not enough.

"Anton at the bar at Le Palace Hilton in Geneva has finally learnt to mix a proper Bloody Mary (we were *quite* firm with him the last time), but the Tounedos Rossini are simply wretched. We really must have a word with the chef - his staff have been skimping on the truffles lately."

#4 "UN failing to provide booze and income stream protection to drunk, worthless NGO losers who failed have to succeed in private sector."

#7 Looks like a job for an international "community organizer". And I'm sure there are many willing to step up. Just try to not get killed in the stampede.

#8 The US is shipping nearly $1 trillion of its wealth overseas each year. We've done more than enough to enrich everyone else and its well past time to stop this insanity.
