I guess I’m wondering how the shift in power to a Democratic majority in the House, and possibly in the Senate, would influence our ability to hold the UN’s feet to the fire. What does this mean for John Bolton’s permanent appointment prospects? What does it mean for the number of bucks we contribute to UN funding, or for the enthusiasm of “leaders” to investigate UN corruption?

I noticed with interest a letter from Kofi Annan’s spokesman, which congratulates the Democrats for their victory with what seems to me to be unseemly enthusiasm . . ..

Houston — we have a problem.
