ALIUN

By Dave Buhlman

In the link below is a story that the United Nations has appointed an ambassador to deal with visitors from out of space.

With apologies to "Star Trek": Space the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starry-eyed UN-ers whose 65 year mission is to destroy national sovereignty, destroy life, and to boldly go where no elitists have gone before.

Having fouled up about everything it has been involved with in its checkered 65 years history, the UN leaders figure it's time to look elsewhere, to look to the stars for friendly faces, to present to the universe the best that mankind has to offer. I wonder if they are actually expecting a visit? There has been speculation that one will occur on October 13, 2010. Maybe they're onto something. Holy Jedi!

I can picture the scene with Algore, Bill, and Obama being introduced to representatives of the Kodi race, hailing from the far reaches of the Milky Way Galaxy. Each earthbound leader gives a fifteen minute speech filled with self praise for their accomplishments. In essence it's Moe, Larry and Curly meet the funny beings - "What's Spring Like on Jupiter and Mars?". The Kodi are perplexed and ask to be taken to our real leaders.

"These are our real leaders", the embarrassed ambassador replies with her pretty face flushing red. In response the Kodi roll their eyes at each other, get in their ship and zoom off toward the sun. About halfway there, they send a laser bolt to completely destroy the planet.

"Clearly they're better off," the Kodi leader says to his team of space travelers who are nodding in agreement. "With leaders like those, a quick death is surely better than listening to an endless stream of pompous babbling. It matches the worst we have seen in all of our many millions of miles traversing the stars."

As the colorful hot bolt approaches, Algore, Bill, and Obama look up smiling. "They must have really appreciated our insights to send such a beautiful memento," Obama says, as the ocean waters start to recede. Algore wondered about how warm the bolt might be. Bill was making a move on the UN ambassador. "Not sure what that bolt means, but sure do want to go out with my best...."
