Give her an office in Roswell, anyway

The other day we chortled at the reports that Mazlan Othman had been appointed by the United Nations to be the Earth ambassador in the event of extraterrestrial visitation.

But, it turned out to be a hoax.

Too bad. Maybe some of the smart entrepreneurs in Roswell, NM, can set up a ceremonial office for her there, anyway. Heck, maybe she could have her own float at the next UFO festival.

So as of now, Ms. Othman will have to go back to examining the risks of near earth asteroids, and we'll go back to laughing at the UN because it's a tired old institution verging on senility.
