Hoi, all you fans of the United Nations

As long as my tax dollars aren't involved.

So, if your share of the non-specifically-Spanish monies comes to, say, .00000001% of the $600K-odd, are you involved, or not?

It seems pretty clear from the posted links that there is no "non-specifically Spanish monies".
Any proof to the contrary?

Funny stuff.

Now do the EU, or OPEC.

Oh yeah-

"around $633,000 came from Spain's budget for overseas development aid."

I was homing in on the "taxpayer/private" monies.

Where do you suppose the $633K came from, being Spanish money, but not Spanish "taxpayer/private" money.

Could you solve this mystery for me, sir.

The Overseas Development Aid Fund?

The Overseas Development Aid Fund?

Right.

Which leads me to ask-"Why are YOU outraged about this?"

[j2k4]

I don't get "outraged" anymore.

That said, the UN is a hobby of mine, as well you know.

Any entity so blindly hallowed, yet unrelentingly and unremittingly feckless and corrupt, gets my attention.

Have you been listening to excerpts of the senates farewell words (eulogies) to ex Sen. Ted Stevens then

I have, in fact.

Please, tell us all how I feel about Ted Stevens.
