There are very few of them left because they have been hunted for their fur. They can't be domesticated because their immune systems cannot fight off disease from other animals.

have already been wiped out in what Washington with a smirk calls South-East Asia.

It's not the locals doing it, it's them there 1 million 'administrators' John Kennedy arranged to come into the territory.

Now if only Obama would do what the Kennedy brother's were prevented from doing in 1969 - those Asian administrators could be evicted and we will then be able to discover how many tribes and species have been sent extinct under the current policy of silence.

FYI: in 1936 the Rockefellers found out West New Guinea had the world's largest gold mine - so in December 1960 their friend Robert Lovett told Kennedy to trust McGeorge BUndy as National Security adviser and so in April 1961 the NSC began a campaign to get the colony of West New Guinea sold to Indonesia.. from whom Freeport could get a mining license

But what the Kennedy's actually did was they got the Netherlands to surrender the colony to the United Nations in what is known in chapter 12 of the UN charter as a trusteeship agreement . . .
Although Bundy concealed the gold and other wealth of the colony, the Kennedy administration attempted to ensure the human rights of West Papua by making it a UN Trust Territory;

Problem is that the Kennedys were killed before Indonesia proved unwilling to allow the "act of self-determination" required by the Trusteeship agreement - and NOBODY has been willing to mention to the UN General Assembly the fact the UN signed a Trusteeship Agreement for West New Guinea (West Papua).

IF somebody had Dag Hammarskjold killed in 1961, and allowed the Kennedys to be killed in 1963 and 1968, you don't dont that unless there are $billions upon $billions of profit to be made. Funny thing is that the 1967 Freeport contract has been allowing the looting of $billions upon $billions of Papuan gold & copper etc.

Does Obama turn a blind eye to West Papua, you bet he does...

Could Obama save the Papuan people, homelands, and help put an end to corporate manipulation of Washington? Sure he could, all he would need to do is mention in the UN General Assembly this month that the UN General Assembly appears to have approved a "trusteeship agreement" in resolution 1752 (XVII).

That's quite a head of steam you have built up on a multitude of non-Betty White topics.

Just for one thread can we have a bit of a chuckle, before resuming the weight of the world on our shoulders?

Just sayin'

I loved it when Hugo Chávez told the United Nations that he could still smell the sulfur and fire left by the devil George Bush, very funny.

And now it is time for Obama to sweep away that sulfur, remind the UN General Assembly that the agreement referred to in UN General Assembly resolution 1752 (XVII) appears to be a trusteeship agreement.

With one easy action America would be putting stop to the 'slow motion genocide' and putting trans-national corporations on notice that they should STOP manipulating Washington with false and misleading intel whether it be Iraq or a little colony on the Australian continental island of Papua.,

she could pull if off in a way no one else could. I could just see her talking to Clint in an empty chair:

"Now Clint, President Obama doesn't need to be scolded by someone once called 'Dirty Harry', and besides, you need to comb your hair when you step out in public!"

Betty White is far more beloved than Mitt, and more trusted by a mile.

She can bring in the apolitical ones from 3 generations

gotten to where she is on the show yet. I'm looking forward to that. It's a great show and has been getting better through the first couple of seasons. I think both her character and Georgette show up around season four.

These are hysterically funny, but I'm so confused -- do any of them actually originate with Betty White herself? She is one funny lady, regardless....
