And now for something completely different

Years ago, Monty Python used to segue to something absurd with the words, "and now for something completely different." These are the perfect introduction into one of the strangest things I have ever heard. The United Nations has named Iran as one of the members of the council on the status of women, a UN body whose charter calls for it to promote equal rights for women. Perhaps Iran will be moved to investigate the government minister in Iran who blamed earthquakes on scantily clad women. Or maybe they will investigate the women who get stoned for not wearing burkhas. Or -- well you get the picture.

What's next? Maybe the UN will nominate Bin Laden for the Nobel Peace Prize.
