Silly rabbit. Everyone knows the UN is a worthless and ineffective waste of space. Even Al Bore knows it. Local mall security forces have bigger cajones than the members of the UN.

ON behalf of Canadians, I would just like to say that Rachel Marsden is far from typical of the species, except for Albertans, who truly believe they're living in Texas North.

she's the girl from Chris Issak's 'Wicked Game' music video

You've arrived, darling!

Now get off my blog.

Freak-o-the-week!

@raincoaster: So the rest are, "Scarbs?" LOL

The UN was basically set up as a place for nations to come together and... talk. So when people accuse it of being ineffective, because all they do is talk, they demonstrate their ignorance of the whole purpose of the UN.

Now *this* is a real woman- I don't think VW is ready.

@Pikers: Toronto-centric? You must live in...Toronto.

@nethaqr: you forgot to leave your email address.

Hey, Maple-Syrup-Lady. Go F yourself. Gore has already talked with the UN.

@raincoaster: doubleplusfail on me. Guess I need to go back and read those MGG articles on how to be a Web 2.0 playah one more time.

@raincoaster: Wrong again, Sherlock

How much does she charge for sensual massage?

Oh God, I can't believe I'm about to say this but...

Can you trade with Gawker so that Valleywag can have Julia Allison and they get stuck with Rachel?

I'm honoured to have been bestowed with the "Looks Like Someone Had A Slow Work Week Award".

Is NPR that the network that provides Chomsky lectures as a free gubmint service to insomniacs?

@Rachel Marsden: Get over here, you.

Is it too late to revert my edit on our relationship?

Truth is stranger than fiction.

@Automatt: I'm pretty sure the UN charter doesn't say "come together and... talk." But what do I know?

PREAMBLE

WE THE PEOPLES OF THE UNITED NATIONS DETERMINED
to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind, and

to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small, and

to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained, and

to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,

AND FOR THESE ENDS

to practice tolerance and live together in peace with one another as good neighbours, and

to unite our strength to maintain international peace and security, and

to ensure, by the acceptance of principles and the institution of methods, that armed force shall not be used, save in the common interest, and

to employ international machinery for the promotion of the economic and social advancement of all peoples,

HAVE RESOLVED TO COMBINE OUR EFFORTS TO ACCOMPLISH THESE AIMS

Accordingly, our respective Governments, through representatives assembled in the city of San Francisco, who have exhibited their full powers found to be in good and due form, have agreed to the present Charter of the United Nations and do hereby establish an international organization to be known as the United Nations.

It worked so well for them in Rwanda - all the talking and paper shuffling. Just ask Romeo Dallaire. Third Battalion of Desk Jockeys: We were gonna kill Saddam with paper cuts from all those resolutions he was using to wipe his ass...eventually.

I stole your infamous UN Desk Jockey line and made it my own, Marsden. How did I do? Grade 1-10 plz. Do I get extra credit for mentioning your countryman Dallaire?

Rachel wins "Commenter of the week" by sheer volume alone!

Guess her "startup" is going well...

@mediawhoremeow: No

@Rachel Marsden: Is RM trying to be the new JA?

@Dror Poleg: No
