Live feed of the United Nations World Summit. One of the largest gatherings of world leaders in history (so they say). The 60th session is now in order. POTUS is on right now. For your viewing pleasure... [Real Player] FULL DISCLOSURE: I work for the UN
  • Thanks smt, watching now. Bush's tie really doesn't go with that suit. wave if you're on camera!
  • *waves hands wildly*
  • Somebody got his back-to-school haircut..! (And I read 'plenary meeting' as 'planetary meeting', and thought "That's so Star Trek! Awesome!" Then I read it again, and was disappointed. Eyesight is a bit off, just a wee bit hung over this morning. Odd, for a Wednesday...)
  • I will inform Lord Vader. /MCT
  • I shall inform Lord Sidious!
  • When does he play the guitar?
  • SELF LINK!3!
  • Well that's interesting timing (maybe just for me) -- I was just reading that the European parliament is to stream proceedings from their revamped website. I haven't checked it out yet.
  • When does he play the guitar? Just saw his motorcade whisk by... they stopped in the middle of the intersection of 50th Street and Third Avenue. Chimpy jumped out and strummed a quick little ditty. The crowds went wild... *hears the blitz of sirens stream by again*
  • Can you shoot the fucker for us, while he's there?
  • If you shoot him, others (Cheney, Jeb etc) will just take his place. Far better to let him spend the next couple of years dragging his party down in flames with him, eh what?
  • Agreed with Pallas for the time being. He's doing a grand job of ing himself lately... I am a bit surprised that he's gone this long with no [known] attempts thus far
  • Well, there was that dud grenade in Georgia (the ex-Soviet state). I slapped my head. A dud?!
  • POTUS != viewing pleasure, at least for me. Also, it looks like the president might have dyed his hair since last week.
  • According to Yahoo News, here's a photo of the President of the United States writing a note to the Secretary of State asking for a potty break.
  • Oops. They're not really comparable, but I am reminded of the recent C-SPAN tv footage that captured a senator working a crossword puzzle at the confirmation hearings. I wonder if the feds will ask the media to curb their coverage of stuff like this too.
  • That's funny, the link goes to a picture of Bush and Nagin literally pointing fingers at one another.
  • Can you shoot the fucker for us, while he's there? Well, there was that dud grenade in Georgia (the ex-Soviet state). I slapped my head. A dud?! Liberal compassion at its finest. This is why I love you guys.
  • Actually I'm a compassionate conservative and a christian. That's why it's ok for me to call for someone's death.
  • Oops. They're not really comparable, but I am reminded of the recent C-SPAN tv footage that captured a senator working a crossword puzzle at the confirmation hearings. I wonder if the feds will ask the media to curb their coverage of stuff like this too. That was Coburn from OK. Republican of course. Jon Stewart made him look like a complete fool and a phony on Tuesday, which he is of course. The video's probably on comedycentral.com- it was hilarious, and well-deserved. PS f8x, you are fucking retarded.
  • I like f8xy.
  • Me too. He's neat. So are you, quid. I mean it, you're a really swell guy. Like Fonzie.
  • Aaaayyyyyy! Sit on it!
  • PS smallish bear, I love you.
  • According to Yahoo News, here's a photo of the President of the United States writing a note to the Secretary of State asking for a potty break. Yahoo news has replaced that photo with one of the president, who appears to be hitting a woman in the face.
  • Also, I apologize to people who may actually be retarded, or mentally challenged, for the unfavorable comparison.
  • Very gracious of you, too.
  • Well I do not accept your apology. So there!
  • Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, President of Iran, is scheduled to speak this afternoon (he is the second speaker after the afternoon session resumes in 30 minutes from now). Should be interesting, after Condi's "warning" this morning.
  • Interesting stuff. I'll check back after lunch to see if the live feed is back. Is North Korea at this summit?
  • Smt, what exactly do you do for the UN? [/curiosity]
  • Smt, what exactly do you do for the UN? I have been assigned to follow this subversive online community, and keep tabs of all members. Just remember, I am watching you, so please behave! *cough* Kidding aside, the "big kahuna" I answer to is Mr. Paul Volcker (former Fed Reserve Chairman before Greenspan). And if that makes you scratch your head, just google Volcker + United Nations. So, why the curiousity?
  • Psst, no linkage to the UN will work for the time being, as the Secretariat in New York has been without power for the past four hours or so...
  • And we see yet again that my suggested nickname of "Am-a-completely-mad" refuses to take hold.
