Dear Sweet Baby Jesus, Part Deux
Okay, so say Thou can'st swingeth the Home depot CEO type deal. I can understand. So many worthy contenders, so few seats to go around. I would like to say that I can settle for less, being a 'simple life' kinda gal. If not the boardroom, Thou mayest hooketh me up with this teflon bunch.
New Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Wednesday announced his picks for two of the top posts at the United Nations this week — and one of those choices is controversial.Ban, the former foreign minister of South Korea who started his new job Tuesday, named Mexican Alicia Barcena — Kofi Annan's former chief of staff — to the key post of administration and management, a job previously held by American Christopher Burnham.
...The under-secretary-general for administration and management has for years been an American and is traditionally responsible for some of the most important financial matters at the United Nations: The world body's debt, executing personnel cuts to balance budgets and pursuing countries who are behind in paying dues.
The position is also responsible for the U.N. watchdog that ensures the secretariat's integrity — the Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) — and the U.N.'s legal and human resources departments.
BINGO-eth! If your most humble servant shalt inherit Thy post at the U.N., I might still partake of the world's bounty free from even the oversight of viperous creatures like Spitzer.
And please heareth my continued prayers for the vanquishment of dubious and evil Cajun type Tigers tonight, which are as heartfelt and fervent as ever. Smite-teth them with the ass's jawbone of righteous vengence and good defense.
In Thy team's name we pray.
Amen.
