Happy United Nations Anniversary (NOT!)

     Landmarks around the world are lit in blue today for the 70th Anniversary of founding of The United Nations, including the Sydney Opera House, the Great Wall of China and the statue of Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro.



     NO, the Alabama statehouse is not included, nor any places I could find in the American Deep South, home to sometimes fervent anti-United Nations conspiracy theories, including a report this Summer that U.N. troops attacked a man in an Ozark Alabama Wal Mart. 

     And Governor Bentley signed a measure last year against that U.N. "Agenda 21" which the GOP says is a "radical" agenda that is "destructive to the American way of life." (They make) comparisons between the treaty and the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

  1. Seems that the Tin Foil Hat Gang is flourishing in Alabama! Even the website admits that there is no evidence of a U.N. attack in an Ozark Wal-Mart.

  2. Jay, we don't need no stinking evidence for that!
