#1 I've never heard of Chung-Hoon until now. The greatest generation was just amazing.

#4 I think its high time we tell them to fuck off and give them a 24-hour eviction notice - after that everything in the building (papers, etc...) become property of the NYC sanitation department.

And stop insulting whorehouses. At least with them you enjoy being f-ked over.

#5 4.5% and not a penny more. No need for Uncle Sucker to pay 22% of general funds, 33% of peacekeeping costs, 50-60% of food aid only to have the recipients steal it and take hostages. If the world wants to act like barbarians and prima donnas, then do so on someone else's dime. I recommend the Japanese to the same.

#8 And, of course, two of Massachusetts usual suspects step in to back him up...

Some of the House and Senate leaders who met with Ban agreed with his assessment of the United States' late payments.

"Clearly they have an interest in the United States meeting its responsibility. In terms of peacekeeping, we're about $670 million behind, and I think the argument is well-stated," said Rep. Bill Delahunt, a Democrat on the House Foreign Relations Committee.

Ban also met with Democratic Rep. Ed Markey, who heads a House global warming panel, and Sen. John Kerry, the Senate Foreign Relations chairman. "Around the world, the United Nations is underfunded and overtasked," Kerry said, standing beside Ban and Republican Sen. Richard Lugar.

#10 There is a pond out here known for its leeches and water moccasins. I propose Mr. Moon go sit in that pond 1 minute for every $1 million received by USA taxpayers during his so far brief and predictable tenure as momma-san for the International Cat House of Pug Fickers.
