This is not a joke. Well, it is, but it wasn't meant to be:
The brutal crackdown by Syrian President Bashar Assad may finally be getting the attention of world leaders -- but apparently not enough to stop Syria from becoming the newest member of the U.N. Human Rights Council.
And despite calling for an independent investigation into the crackdown, which has left hundreds dead, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon apparently won't do much about blocking Syria's path to the human rights group.
Time to cancel the lease on that den of fools and scoundrels and board the place up.
