Buying votes not good enough

“Under such a regime teachers were simply asked to prepare young people to be workers.”

Shouldn’t that read

“Under such a regime teachers were simply asked to prepare young people to be Labour voters”

The grass is greener

Budget hands Australians $21 billion in tax cuts

Someone should have called

I don't care much for Rotorua either

As you were

So an ultra-conservative ex-Hitler youth member (we are assured not an enthusiastic member) has been elected as pope on the day of Hitler’s birthday. Conspiracy? Co-incidence? I can feel a Mike Moore movie about to be made – oh that’s right president Bush is Hitler.

For Catholics then its even tighter doctrinarian rules and ridiculous situations. Aids will continue to spread in Africa, killing off the catholic churches largest support base – the irony is no lost on me there. And let’s not mention the kiddie fiddling, oh that’s right we weren’t.

Good luck to them, the pope is dead, long live the pope

Yeah Right

IM: Is it true you're a lesbian?

HC: Heavens, no. It's obvious I'm asexual. That's why I married Peter. Well, actually I married Peter because I was standing for Parliament for the first time and the party bosses told me I would get more votes if I was married. I also started going to church around that time but thankfully I don't need to keep up that pretence any more. Ugh. Anyway, we've done focus groups that show men don't like voting for women, and women don't like voting for men. So that explains why I'm so popular.

"I believe in the atmosphere" as well

*CO2 is increasing largely as a result of fossil-fuel burning
*CO2 is a greenhouse gas
*ergo: There must be SOME global ATMOSPHERIC warming -- ALL OTHER
THINGS BEING EQUAL
*But the most reliable data do not show any appreciable atmospheric warming.
*Climate models do.
*Whom should we believe? The atmosphere or the models?
*Many scientists believe in models and think there must be something wrong with the observations. Other scientists believe the atmospheric data and think models have left out some important negative feedbacks.
* I believe in the atmosphere.

It's getting hot in here...So give me back my tax money

The autumn outlook is worse in the North Island - where people need to prepare for colder than usual temperatures - than on the Mainland, says the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research.

And lets not forget the UK is under a foot of snow as well . Kyoto = Rubbish

What and What

Firstly I can't believe that the guvament is actually considering this, but the reaction from those affected just makes me go what? I mean WHAT?

One member of the families involved warned that, if the reforms were passed, it would drive New Zealand's wealthy families into the National Party's arms.

"It would almost guarantee the National Party was the best funded at election time."

How can these people actually vote for those who would fleece them in the first place? Am I being a bit naïve? Or is everyone in this country sucking on the state tit?

KiwiBank turn a profit

The government has finally stated to make money out of the poor

New level of hate

I really hate labour. I mean seriously. They are a bunch of smug meddlers who walk about with a mightier than thou attitude. God they piss me off. Two things in the media this morning, “Prime Minister encourages Iraqis to vote” and the "PM rules out tax cuts."

<>
On the first, Iraqis probably don’t care what you think Helen, you did nothing before and are still doing nothing now. On the Tax cut issue, I believe that it’s another case of the finger and the pulse issue. To quote the excellent movie Jay and Silent bob strike back. “ here is your finger, here is your pulse, your finger is stuck so far up your arse”

<>Anywho I digress. I have this dream that one Sunday in November, or when ever the election is, Helen wakes up and mutters to herself “ooohb didn’t see that one coming”

Franky says

Sell the Bank, the TV station, the railway (again), the airline, the accident insurer. Then pass a memorandum to dissolve yourself and get the hell out of our lives.

Here it comes kids

This is where it starts.

“…Drinkers are being pulled out of Auckland bars to check if they are intoxicated as part of a new approach by police.”

Hey but you can’t say that you didn’t hear it all before.
