The United Nations sucks Induction Bomb

It can be difficult for PBR (Political Blog Readers) to relate to non PBR because political blogs concentrate on what the MSM does not. I ran into this problem with my wife, when I brought up the UN. She, naturally, assumes the UN is a basically good organization that does good things. And she assumed, naturally, that I felt the same. Of course I don’t.

I stuttered, wondering how to explain to her how flawed, corrupt, wasteful, and incompetent the UN is. I considered using the word evil. It hit me, then, (though I couldn't yet put it into words)that I needed an Induction Bomb. Yesterday’s post http://harkonnendog.blogspot.com/2005/01/is-blogging-bad-for-america.html explored that idea along with some ramifications.

Today I present to you:

As it turns out somebody already MADE an induction bomb talking about how the UN hates Israel. (but they didn’t call it an Induction Bomb, which makes sense since I made up that term)
This looks excellent, but I haven’t read all the links so I can’t vouch for it:
