The bottom-dwellers at the U.N.

In a race among these three, which do you suppose will arrive at rock bottom first: the Democratic Party, the Norwegian Nobel Committee or the United Nations?

Well, the Norwegian Nobel Committee can't do anything self-destructive for another year, so I guess it's between the Democrats and the U.N. Most of you would probably vote for the Democrats; what with "Cap-and-Trade," "Cash-for-Clunkers," stumbling along behind their leader to embrace the most utterly disastrous economic system ever practiced, etc. Before you vote, however, please hear and heed my little campaign speech for the United Nations.

The "Chorus Girl's Lament" is rather cute: one chorus girl complains to the other, "Not only did he lie about his yacht; he made me row!" There's nothing cute about the U.N.'s version. It's the bludgeoning instrument tucked inside the Goldstone Report, due to be considered by the General Assembly this week. The Goldstone Report incredibly takes aim at the one country that, above all others in history, takes the most self-sacrificing care to avoid harming enemy civilians. Goldstone then discolors that country's most recent act of self-defense until it resembles not an attempt to stop Hamas' rocket-rain coming in from Gaza, but rather the Rape of Nanking.

The country, of course, is Israel. Listen to Col. Richard Kemp, former commander of British forces in Afghanistan and many violent elsewheres: "During Operation Cast Lead [the Israeli invasion of Gaza] the Israel Defense Forces did more to safeguard the rights of civilians in a combat zone than any other army in the history of warfare." Col. Kemp goes on to stress that Israel's enemies deliberately use civilians as shields, knowing full well Israeli soldiers are forbidden to shoot in such situations even if that jeopardizes their own lives...

Senate Panel Clears Climate Bill; Republicans Boycott Vote

WASHINGTON —A U.S. Senate panel on Thursday cleared a climate bill that would reshape the U.S. economy, in a rare vote in which Republicans boycotted the vote.
By 10-1, the U.S. Senate Environment and Public Works Committee approved the measure. The only Democrat to vote “no” was Sen. Max Baucus, (D., Mont.), a sign that the climate measure is likely to face major revisions as it works its way through five other committees before reaching the U.S. Senate floor.
Democrats acted without the participation of Republicans, who stayed away to protest a lack of a complete analysis of the measure. Under the bill, companies would have to hold permits for each ton of carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere. The limited number of permits would set a cap on greenhouse-gas emissions, with a goal of reducing emissions 20% below 2005 levels by 2020 and by more than 80% by 2050.
