Kofi Annan Fires Back
Kofi Annan, whose son has long been fighting American and British allegations linking the Annans to the now-infamous 'oil for food' scandal at the United Nations, has finally mounted a counter-attack; in a blistering speech delivered to the UN Press Corps, Annan has accused his detractors' nations of being involved in what Annan describes as a 'shameless labor-for-wage arrangement'.
According to Annan's allegations, Americans and Britons have been trading their own labor for money, and have also been encouraging other nations to participate in the practice, which Annan calls 'disgraceful'. Although Annan's description was vague, apparently certain citizens of capitalist countries 'work', and are then 'paid' for it. "This is a violation of the basic principle of the United Nations, which calls for handouts to all and responsibility taken by none, and a slap in the face of all decent shiftlessness for which this great institution stands," said Annan in one of the more fiery passages from his account.
American and British delegations were unavailable for comment as this issue went to press--it seems that most of them were 'working'.

When I was around none of this kind of shennegans ever took place. That was back in the days when people had duplicate first names and we all owned Kirby Puckett rookie cards.

Ah, yes, those were the days. Do you remember, Bhoutros (or should I call you Bhoutros?), when I traded you Djibouti for your Upper Deck Ryne Sandberg? I was most ecstatic over the deal!
