I don’t know whether to be outraged or just crack up laughing at this story, but the UN-affiliated Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe announced that it plans to send monitors to America next month to watch over our election. They want to make sure no conservative groups commit voter suppression or intimidation or violate any election laws at polling places. Of course, they were invited here by liberal groups, who have suffered terrible intimidation in the past, such as Tea Party members swinging bats outside polling places. Oh no, wait: that was the New Black Panthers. Maybe they mean Republicans violating laws like letting felons vote in Minnesota or dead people vote in Chicago. No, wait, those weren’t Republicans, either.

Oh well, at least we can rest easy knowing that our elections will be eyeballed by the same people who insure fair elections around the world, in places like Iran and Venezuela. Maybe they can even get some help from members of the UN Human Rights Council, like Nigeria, Cuba, Saudi Arabia and China. You know what, come to think of it, I don’t think we really need the UN monitoring American elections. But I do think America needs to start monitoring the money we spend on the U.N.
