U.N. Seat Still Up for Grabs...

After ten votes, it is still unclear who will be appointed to the remaining U.N. Security Council. South Africa, Belgium, Indonesia and Italy replaced Tanzania (seriously), Japan, Denmark and Greece.

However, Guatemala and Venezuela are fighting over the remaining spot, alloted to a Latin American country. Although Guatemala won 9 of the 10 votes, it failed to obtain the 2/3 majority required to be appointed.

As with all bad news, Venezuelan officials blamed the U.S.

"Venezuela will not withdraw — we're fighting until the end," Cardenas said. "We are fighting against the first power of the world, the owners of the universe. We're happy, we're strong and we will continue."

Wow, the U.S. is doing a lot better than I thought. Not only is it led by a supernatural creature with power to entice and tempt, it also "owns the universe."

Talk about cornering the market...

In semi-related news, Chavez is training terrorists. This is exactly the kind of country we need to add to the Security Council. One that is not afraid to bring down the greatest threat to the world: The United States.

Idiots.
