| Category: Food fight! Tim Blair pointed me at an article in the Spencer Street Soviet about some UN-administered money that appears to have gone astray. The SSS article was based on some work by Claudia Rosett. She sure didn't waste her research on this one as similar horrific stories appeared in The Wall Street Journal and The National Review, the latter titled Kojo & Kofi - Unbelievable U.N. stories. Corruption in the UN is no "dog bites man" but another issue came up in the SSS article. Apparently, during a kitchen staff strike at the UNHQ in NYC, the UN staff ransacked the cafeterias. Or not. Maybe they did only cause $8,000 of red ink in the UN books but it's much more fun than the billion-buck story. |
