Global politics quicky

Because I'm too lazy too actually analyze things, I give you a bulleted list.

• One of these days, I too shall appoint myself as President Prime Minister, or perhaps "Mr. Speaker the President of the United States."
  
• Ban Ki-moon may have actually expressed an emotion regarding the rapidly descending spiral that is Darfur.
• Dear Mahmoud: It's ok to be gay in New York, and a Jewish man wants to love you. (Hat tip: Daniel Drezner -- too good not to miss.)
  
• Burma: Far scarier than we thought. Several protests with monks and Burmese Americans hit DC this past week, including one I witnessed yesterday. Now people seem to think that threatening to boycott a sporting event might change something? Color me unconvinced.
  

And briefly on the homefront.

• DC: No water to fight fires on the high ground.
• ENDA: Still discriminatory. Those of you with actual congresspersons, please do something.
