Ball point pen on the morning newsprint
My liege, and madam, to expostulate
What majesty should be, what duty is,
What day is day, night night, and time is time,
Were nothing but to waste night, day, and time;
Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit,
And tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes,
I will be brief. Your noble son is mad. . . .
Shakespeare
The UN should adopt a policy similar to the academy awards: after the speaker’s allotted time has elapsed, start playing music over them. Muammar al-Qaddafi was given 15 minutes for his UN debut speech and he rambled on for an hour and a half. He covered everything from wanting to relieve the US of it’s burden of hosting the United Nations, to the swine flu and the assassinations of JFK and Martin Luther King.
He is mad!
