We are appalled at the news that Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny has died in prison. The Russian authorities must ensure a credible investigation into Navalny’s death.–Statement by the United Nations Human Rights Commission.

Leadership requires killing people.–Tucker Carlson

.

The UN sends its thoughts and prayers

We know that people slip on stairs

Or fall from windows, hit their head 

Or just get sick and wind up dead.

Death can be very deleterious

To one’s health. It’s very serious.

When it happens in Siberious

Circumstances, it’s mysterious.

And so with all due circumspection

We request a full inspection

(But not before your next election.)

.

But Tucker Carlson won’t be caught

Uttering a prayer or thought

Tucker’s made of sterner stuff

And wants the world to know he’s tough

There’s no question, no dispute in

Tucker’s mind, regarding Putin.

Leadership sometimes demands

Something less than spotless hands

(And UV light to tan one’s glands)

At least we all know where he stands.
