A NEW Modest Proposal - move the U.N. to NaurU
09/12/08 | self

The UN needs a new home, and the barely-existing island nation of Nauru needs something to do besides selling potash for fertilizer - they have no fresh water, and no agriculture. So I think that it would be the PERFECT new home for the UN. Do you think that if we build it - there - they will GO?


TOPICS: Miscellaneous
KEYWORDS: nauru; un

Nauru ought never to run out of fertilizer if they do move there...

Nauru has its appeal: the potash that is its only natural resource comprises many thousands of years of bird dung.

Nauru is also relatively well-off. For that reason, I’d prefer to locate the UN on Tuvalu, which is sinking slowly into the Pacific — apparently due to “Global Warming”. Solve two problems at once.

I’d favor Mogadishu.

And if the UN insists on remaining in the US,

put them on Alcatraz.

and abandon them.
