The news:
Without fanfare, the United Nations this week elected Iran to its Commission on the Status of Women, handing a four-year seat on the influential human rights body to a theocratic state in which stoning is enshrined in law and lashings are required for women judged “immodest.”
This is the sort of thing which used to be fodder for SNL skits – now its reality in our Orwellian time – our Age of Lies.
Anyone who says the UN has a role to play in decent society is a fool or knave. This isn’t the only proof of that, but no one should need any further proof.
UPDATE: Gay Patriot asks – will Ahmadinejad now be made grand marshal of a Gay Pride parade?
