The United Nations has a new member, and it’s not some cesspool of terrorism using a batch of Jordanian flags they forgot to put the star on:
The UN General Assembly unanimously approved a resolution Wednesday admitting the newly independent Republic of Montenegro as the 192nd member of the United Nations.
General Assembly President Jan Eliasson called for approval of the resolution by acclamation and when there was no objection he banged the gaval and said: “I declare the Republic of Montenegro admitted to membership in the United Nations.” Diplomats from many of the 191 other UN members seated in the General Assembly hall then burst into applause.
Um… many of?
Who wouldn’t applaud?
I’d guess Serbia, possibly Bosnia, Slovenia, and Croatia. Maybe Russia too.

I wouldn’t. The ox-loving, fennel-eating bastards. A Montenegrin killed my dog once. And that was the nicest thing he ever did.

Montenegro…
Montenegro joins the United Nations as the 192nd member, but I distinctly remember from grade school that if you’re happy and you know it clap your hands. Kofi thinks it’s a pretty flag. He thinks it will look really pretty……

Wouldn’t they have to change the country’s name to be PC?
