Tragic (No) Jokes of the Week

First, Iran makes a bid for a seat on the new U.N. Women's Rights Panel. Fortunately, it failed (unfortunately, Saudi Arabia succeeded).

Then, the Cuban dictatorship announces a meeting of its country club elite (a.k.a. VI Congress of the Cuban Communist Party) to discuss how to centrally-plan and apportion 125,000 "self-employment" licenses amongst its most well-behaved members.

Meanwhile, Iranians and Cubans keep getting arrested, beaten and tortured for trying to exercise their universal human rights .

It's no joke.
