bag of hammers

A couple of yahoos blogging at the UN have decided that they don't like Roger L. Simon's blogging about the UN Oil-for-food scandal. They complained that he spent 20% of his posts in April focusing upon OFF and 0% on the UN's many other good works. Then they sent the complaint out to a number of influential blogs (no, not me, that would just be silly).

There is no commenting feature on their blog, but the Trackbacks are a hoot: nearly every Trackback link makes fun of them. Confederate Yankee's response is just devastating. Mark in Mexico followed all of the UN-provided links to their listed "good works" and the results are, well... not exactly favorable to the UN: three of their 13 links don't work, and the other ten "accomplishments" either aren't accomplishments at all or are accomplishments for which the UN can't legitimately take credit (but for which the USA can).

As of now, the Trackbacks linked are one pro-UN and 17 anti.

Free tip for the UN bloggers: If you're going to piss off the blogosphere, at least get your facts right. Otherwise you look like dumbasses.

note to self: Figure out how to do Trackbacks.
