[The Sabbaticus]

This one was pretty amusing, with lots of witty commentary and UN stereotypes, such as the Palestinian ambassador (Arab caricature) and the Master of Yawn himself Danish Lykkesoft. At some point I found myself listening to music in another tab until I realized that this guy was still talking.

Both Miranda Brown and Bayefsky give the best speeches, both focusing on the institutional corruption of the UN.

Shamefully, none of them mention the role the UN played during the Cold War. Just pathetic historical awareness.
