"That's a fantastic budget. It'd be a hell of a thing," said Stefan Boublil, owner of swanky SoHo design firm The Apartment. "It's an expensive kitchen."
The pricey kitchen upgrade is only a small part of a $4.3 million overhaul of the four-story Sutton Place manse where Kofi Annan has lived rent-free for a decade.
And that's not the whole cost.

Many years from now, people will look back and say, "Why did the world tolerate the United Nations? Their indulgences and corruptions, their anti-semitism, their favoritism toward failed policies of socialism were all so well known. Why did the world tolerate the United Nations for so long?"

Did the bastard and his corrupt son trash the place.
If so -- deduct it from their "pension"....
I'm simply amazed that NO CRIMINAL CHARGES have been filed against either Kofi or his freaking son from his 1st wife...

The UN is a joke and every US citizen knows it. Put it on a ballet and let our people decide what to do with them. Maybe he's going to let the Palestinians eat in that kitchen.....since he wants donations to help them. Ya think?
