Kofi Takes Another Hit

So, you're the leader of an organization dedicated to ruling the world. Not in a Dr. Evil or Pinky-and-the-Brain sort of way. More like in a we-know-whats-best-for-you-little-children-of-the-world sort of way. Bind the world in your own personal red tape, and no bad things can every happen because it would require too much paperwork and speechmaking. Secure in your position and happy with your many accomplishments (like Rwanda, for example), you decide that you might as well store up a little cash for when you are out of office. A sort of golden parachute for a trusted employee. You notice that the Iraqi Oil-for-Food program is doing precious little good anyway. So why not skim a little off the top. The stuff that no one needs anyway. The works of your underlings on similar scams - including your son - are found out. But somehow you are left untouched. Happy day!



But then, one of our favorite associates at the UN is charged with "harrassing staff" and violating UN rules of hiring and promotion. The union of those who run the UN demand the dismissal of this associate. Well, you survived the major scandal, so you can survive this little mosquito-bite, right?



Oops! Maybe not. Now suddenly the UN President is facing a no-confidence vote from his own staff. And what is the President of the UN without any staffers to do his bidding? Well, pretty much just a guy in a nice suit in an office... without any coffee... or anyone to place his calls.
