The would-be regulators of the world’s climate (and your wallet) will be jetting to Bali this December for Ban Ki-Moon’s next UN weather fest: “UN Climate Change Conference 2007.”
UN policy allows even the lowlier UN staffers to travel business class on long-haul flights (your tax dollars at work), the better to arrive wined, dined and ready to hit the ground …and the beaches … and the golf courses … and the tennis courts — running.
Apparently there is so much to discuss that the conference will run for a full fortnight, from Dec. 3-14, at Bali’s seaside luxury resort of Nusa Dua.
plus recreational facilities: sailing, fishing, snorkeling, ocean kayaking, and, of course, the shopping gallery.
There, undistracted by the winter winds whipping past the UN’s NY headquarters (now prepping for a $2 billion renovation), they will discuss the many ways in which the UN can collect fees and fund more conferences via taxes and ...

The meetings at the Dec. 3-14 conference begin each day at a leisurely 10 A.M., with a two-hour break for lunch, and ... In other words, the workaday UN conferees will be jetting to Bali for a routine in which they spend almost half the 12 days of the conference engaged in unstructured activities, start work mid-morning, lunch from 1-3 P.M. and knock off in time for cocktails.

The UN unquestionably intends to exert more and more control over both our foreign and domestic policy. The UN wants to tax us, involve us in wars, determine our labor, environmental, and gun policies, and subject us to the jurisdiction of its courts. We cannot ignore this threat to our national sovereignty any longer. Congress must be held accountable whenever it unconstitutionally cedes more of its authority and our freedom to global bureaucrats.
I can assure you that 99% of these buffoons don’t golf; it’s too booozh-wah an activity for their kind.
Me a while back:
I am changing my "dibs" to December 1. :-)
This new date will give Gore plenty of time to get to Bali, arrange his enthronement, and pronounce the science is settled and now with his China deal no rational opposition in Congress can still exist to enacting cap and trade. Then he will hop over to Oslo for his Nobel Peace prize ceremony, scheduled for Dec. 10
.
Well, they could always go to Spitzbergen or some “resort” city in Siberia if not to Harare, Zimbabwe.
You're a better planner than anybody on his staff.
And I'd wager you wouldn't dress him in "earthtones".
Or, at least, you wouldn't let it be known that it was you who was dressing him in earthtones...

At the UN’s last Marxist holiday in Pretoria, these fat conmmunist cows dined on lobster, klip, wine, champagne and fine european sausages, all prepared by an entourage of five star chefs.
The dumpsters were watched over by guards armed with full-auto pieces, to prevent the local citizens from grabbing a half eaten plate of caviar.
Speaking of Public Servants Living the Good Life — Remember Mark Malloch Brown?
Of course you do.
Kofi Annan’s former deputy, former chief of staff, former head of the UN Development Program; now Lord Malloch Brown. He was the British UN bureaucrat who, while doing what he described as “God’s work” at the UN, lived as a tenant on the Katonah, NY estate of tycoon George Soros, paying UN-subsidized rent of about $10,000 per month.
When Kofi Annan left the UN at the end of 2006, so did Malloch Brown — in swift succession receiving a British Knighthood, enjoying a brief affiliation with Yale University, and going to work for George Soros’s ventures.

There was an effort to get the UN to move to Montreal, Canada...?
Too cold.
hehehe
Just the idea that some UN commie is in Bali, trying to pickup supermodels on the beach, using our tax dollars, while I’m freezing my butt off drives me nuts.
Al Gore: Expert or Fraud?
October 22nd, 2007 by Oh
Noel Sheppard reminded us of what has been around since 2000 but ignored by the liberal media. Al Gore has no qualifications in science, physics, chemistry, meteorology or climatology to claim expert status on climate change. In fact, Gore is not a studious and learned expert on much of anything other than leading a bunch of socialists to control the lives of others under the mistaken belief that mankind is destroying the planet.
To be a scientific scholar and expert on something as complex and diverse as climatology, one requires extensive education and research on the subject. To attain credibility as a scientific expert not only requires multiple degrees in the sciences involved, but a scientific aptitude in order to grasp the intricacies of the subject matter. Mr. Sheppard’s article (10/17/07) examined the qualifications of our Nobel Laureate for scientific global climate change. (How the “climate change” qualifies as “peace” is beyond me.) Regardless, Gore’s college board achievement test score for science was a 488 out of 800. That’s awful. His Chemistry score was 519, damn near as bad. He got a D in Natural Sciences, (man’s place in the world,) as a sophomore and a C- in Natural Science as a senior. Nor were his other grades indicative of studiousness attributed to him as the one the Swedes think will save the world. Al’s splendorous academic credentials include a C- in introductory economics, a D in one science course and C- in another, FIVE Fs in five of the eight courses he took at divinity school. And he couldn’t complete Vanderbilt’s Law School.
This is the intellectual giant the liberals hold out as the savior of the planet. It is he on whom they will rely to champion the unproven myth about man made global warming as the excuse to tax and regulate us into a socialistic nation. His movie has been discredited and debunked by scientists and courts alike. His movie exaggerates and falsifies much of what it claims as fact. But as with Harry Reid, the lies persist even in the face of overwhelming proof to the contrary.
Gore is a liar, (inventor of the internet,) a fraud, (absolutely no academic or scientific qualifications to support anything he says about climate change) and a socialist, (using inaccurate theories as scare tactics for galloping socialism.) Believe it, Gore doesn’t give a damn about the climate, it’s a political ploy, pure and simple.
Will Gore run for President? No way. He can’t (hence won’t) face serious debate now. If put to the real test as a candidate, he would be hopelessly exposed for the fraudulent rube he is. He would also have to justify the millions he makes from his company that sells those phony carbon credits to hypocrite limousine liberals. Unfortunately, there are so many ignorant liberals and just plain ignoramuses out there, including the Nobel Prize fools, that he has attained a celeb status based on pure poppycock. But a scholar, on the subject he claims expertise, he ain’t. He’s a dunce in a professorial costume.
These lazy bums are flying business class, drinking fine wines... on our tax dollars.
They hang out, go shopping ...while we have to work.
