The latest Rasmussen Poll is out, and it focuses on the United Nations. The numbers, to be polite, do not flatter. Rasmussen reports that "Thirty-seven-percent (37%) of Americans have a favorable opinion of the United Nations." That's clever and deceptive phrasing. By using the word "favorable", they hide the glaringly obvious corollary, which is that 63% view the U.N. unfavorably. Any Beatles fan will recognize this as taking a sad song and making it better.

It's time to take the entire Manhattan block of buildings that house the UN, tie it to tug barges, and haul it off to Havana. Or Brussels. Somewhere where the local citizenry don't so much mind an unelected, unrepresentative, elitist cabal that run things like plundering plutocrats.

I don't remember voting for Kofi Annan and his gang of thieves.
