Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wagn'nagl fhtagn ("In his house at R'lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming."). --HP Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu

The stars hath turned in the heavens once more: Mighty Cthulhu stirs. His dreams reacheth forth, communing with those with ears to hear. Iä! Shub-Niggurath! His thoughts trample down along the pathways of thy mind; thou knowest His footprints, each of which is a wound...

Kofi Finds His Spine

The ünter-wonder UN SecGen who helped orchestrate "Black Hawk Down" and "Wrecking Rwanda" seems to have suddenly grown a backbone:

U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan sharply criticized the United States on Thursday for seeking another exemption from the International Criminal Court, particularly in light of the Iraqi prisoner scandal.

"The blanket exemption is wrong. It is of dubious judicial value and I don't think it should be encouraged by the council," Annan told reporters.

"It would be unfortunate for one to press for such an exemption, given the prisoner abuse in Iraq, " Annan said. "It would discredit the council and the United Nations that stands for rule of law."

Security Council envoys say Washington does not yet have enough support or will barely reach the required nine "yes" votes needed for the resolution to pass in the 15-nation body.


Well, the neo-clowns have long argued that the UN was spineless and completely untrustworthy--largely because of the many gaffes pulled by Annan.

Such accusations must have hurt his feelings, because he's certainly taking a different tact now.

So what does this mean? Hey, ShrubCo™, take a look at the photos below: You'll be seeing these places in person. Soon.
