The World According To UNGA

In 1982, Robin Williams and Glenn Close starred in a quirky R-rated movie entitled "The World According to Garp." The offbeat comedy -- honest, that's what Tinseltown critics called it -- was loosely based on John Irving's dark novel with the same title. Those who missed the humor in the book and film now have a chance for some real belly laughs. Next week the Big Apple will host another gut buster -- "The World According to UNGA." If it were a flick, it would be a dark and depressing documentary combining the conspiratorial rantings of Oliver Stone, the eerie horror of Alfred Hitchcock and the antics of a Looney Tunes cartoon.

But it's not a movie or an off-Broadway show. And it isn't a television program that will simply go away with the press of a button on your remote. Instead, it's an annual extravaganza which We the People have subsidized with billions of our tax dollars for six decades. It could be called -- with apologies to Barnum & Bailey -- the Most Ridiculous Show on Earth. But next week it will be called UNGA -- short for the United Nations General Assembly.
