Idiocy?

Have you ever watched "Pawn Stars" on The History Channel? It's recently become a favorite for me. On the show, there is a guy named Chumly who is enormously talented at being incredibly dumb. Of course, since it's usually hysterical you have to wonder the obvious: "Is he really dumb or a brilliant entertainer?"

That's kind of how I feel today reading that the United Nations has elected Iran to it's commission on women's rights. Yes, the country that still flogs women for "immodesty". The same Iran that still has stoning as the punishment for crimes and is usually imposed on women. There is no way the people at the U.N. are this dumb. You'd have to have an I.Q. just below plant life not to see the obvious idiocy. It's just more proof the U.N. has become largely a good ol' boys club for tin-horn dictators and evil, oppressive regimes.

And by the way, the response from the U.S. **Insert the sound of crickets here** Nada. God forbid we should actually say something disparaging about Iran and risk alienating them. I mean, surely they will soon come to their sense and we'll all sit down together and sing Kumbaya around the campfire. I said last week I'm through being nice when people do dumb things. This is just about as asinine as it gets.
