Memo Suggests Annan Oil-For-Food Link

June 14, 2005, 12:11 PM EDTUNITED NATIONS -- Investigators of the U.N. oil-for-food program said Tuesday they are "urgently reviewing" new information that suggests U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan may have known more about a contract that was awarded to the company that employed his son.

"They're just coming after me because I'm a black man, just like Michael Jackson "said Secretary Annan at a lunchtime news conference. "Well..." he continued, "not just like Michael Jackson. I mean, I really am black...and, I'm really a man, too."

So Annan molested little boys?

I am juggling between briefs on substantive due process/commerece clause actions brought under 42 USC 1983 and the applicability of the Uniform Commercial Code to contracts regulated by state franchise acts.
Ya wanna swap?

Whoa, whoa, whoa. How did the Commerce Clause sneak in here? I thought you were serving up Shiny Things to your readers in lieu of things Commerce:)

I love you, girlfriend: You finessed tonight's thread into talk of longtitudinal productivity, agile programming, multiple orgasms, and well...well, we all, um....um, next thing we know the Commmerce Clause/section 1983, is left in the dust, and we're ready to sign up for your job... squishy dust mites and all. Well done!

(BYAMATW: What means squishy?)

You girls stop that saucy talk, NOW!!!
I am trying to think here!
About what, I can't recall.

That'll go down on your premanent record, Ms. Cassandra. But you girls feel free to discuss anything you want. Here at Heigh-ho we have an adult perspective on life...as in there's only so much more of it, so why sweat the small stuff. Plus I feeling positively squishy this morning.

portia said...

Um, thanks for the heads up...I think.

Hear that Cass, we got us some carte blanche! Yee haw.

portia said...

Whatever do you mean Cass? I think I showed remarkable restraint. With one stroke, I could have inserted an apostrophe to the interjection "heads up" to form a singular possessive *ahem* noun but I didn't--I held back--even though I did think about it...twice...several times.

Still am:) Seems this squishy stuff is catching.

Heinlein was right....
"Anything worth doing is worth overdoing?"

That works for me:)

portia said...

Here's to overdoing

Save talk of the Commerce Clause. After this week, I bet even Mr. Rdr will agree.
