Precision Guided Humor Round-up: The New UN Motto

*******************
WE THE PEOPLES OF THE UNITED NATIONS DETERMINED

to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind, and

to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small, and

to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained, and

to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,

AND FOR THESE ENDS
to practice tolerance and live together in peace with one another as good neighbours, and

to unite our strength to maintain international peace and security, and

to ensure, by the acceptance of principles and the institution of methods, that armed force shall not be used, save in the common interest, and

to employ international machinery for the promotion of the economic and social advancement of all peoples,

HAVE RESOLVED TO COMBINE OUR EFFORTS TO ACCOMPLISH THESE AIMS
Accordingly, our respective Governments, through representatives assembled in the city of San Francisco, who have exhibited their full powers found to be in good and due form, have agreed to the present Charter of the United Nations and do hereby establish an international organization to be known as the United Nations.
---PREAMBLE TO THE UN CHARTER

Blah, blah, blah. We know what you stand for, and it sure as hell isn't any of THAT, you lying, weasely bags of crap! So, in an effort to straighten out these puzzled do-nothing-ites, we proudly present some accurate and concise mottos for the United Nations as presented by the following Alliance Members (random and capricious Drink Alerts in effect):

Roxette of Hoppings of Roxette Bunny

SilverBlue of Ramblings of SilverBlue

The Bartender of Madfish Willie's Cyber Saloon

Graumagus of Frizzen Sparks

Damon of The Dimmick Institute

Phil of Flying Chair

Susie of Practical Penumbra

Don of Anger Management

Physics Geek of physicsgeek

Tom of Tom's Nap Room

Darren of Colorado Conservative

Harvey of Bad Money

Also, we had several non-Alliance-members offer their assistance this week:

Mercenary Sniper J of Quibbles & Bits

Mad Bomber Trey of TreyGivens.com

Innocent Civilian Scott of Downeast Blog

Deep Cover Agent, Codename: a lesser mongbat - "Yelling 24 hours a day, all funny hats welcome"

And the Much-Beloved Keeper-of-the-Exalted-Ecosystem himself: N. Z. Bear - "It's our world. You just live in it."

A hearty, unilateral round of applause to all of this week's participants, and... not that I'm suggesting anything, mind you... it turns out the UN does have a contact e-mail address listed here.

Mheh.

SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS!

Thanks for the mention Harvey. But it's not New Zealand Bear: just N.Z. Bear. While I hear New Zealand is lovely and would like to visit someday, I'm a Southern California kind of bear.

What the N.Z. stands for is a mystery of the blogosphere to which only I know the answer...
