Where have all the Bush haters gone?

Those that decided prior to the US election that they would move to Canada or Mexico, didn't. Those who vowed to stop the re-election of GW via all means, didn't. Those who attempted to sway the voters didn't. The howlers were even sure that this guy was going to bring the troops home and stand up to the puppet master GW, he didn't.

So where are they? Therapy? Denial? Well they certainly didn’t move to Canada. So do I feel smug?; a little. Do I want to shout “IN YOUR FACE!”; maybe. So why don’t I? Because I am getting on with it, safe in the knowledge that what people tell the pollsters is not necessarily how they will act at the ballot box.

All Aboard

Trains are cool. But model trains have just gone to the next level! Super Cool!

Cold

The doom and gloom merchants seem to think that the world is screwed again. Meanwhile in Wellington.

ITS FREEZIN ! BRING ON THIS SO CALLED WARMING

The thing about common sense is that it not that common

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend by the name of Common Sense who has been with us for many years. No-one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as knowing when to come in out of the rain, why the early bird gets the worm and that life isn’t always fair. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don’t spend more than you earn) and reliable parenting strategies (adults, not Kids, are in charge). His health began to rapidly deteriorate when well intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a six-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer aspirin to a student but, could not inform the parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion. Finally, Common sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband; churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense finally gave up the ghost after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot, she spilled a bit in her lap, and was awarded a huge settlement. Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents; Truth and Trust, his wife; Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason. He is survived by two stepbrothers; My Rights and Ima Whiner. Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still know him pass this on, if not join the majority and do nothing.

May he rest in peace………………..

How F**Cked is New Zealand again?

No seriously great scenery and all - yawn, but how bad is this country going to get? A Good Samaritan gets attacked while attending a car crash and a baggy panted ingrate gets off because he doesn't feel like it.

How can Labour still be in power? Now is the summer of my discontent. We either need to go all Ukrainian on their sorry chardonnay socialist arses or call George to send us the marines.

Dolphins rock!

I think Dolphins are the coolest things since..

Shouldn't he then resign?

If a minister doesn't believe in a department that he is responsible for then he should 1. Not be head of that ministry i.e. resign or 2. sack everyone in it.

From the latest act news letter
RECORD TAX

Using parliamentary questions Rodney Hide found out how much of the average household’s income goes to the government in tax. Treasury replied that the mean household income is $55,600 per year. This is up nearly $5,000 under Labour. How much do we pay in tax? On these figures on average 46.3%. Before you say that can’t be so, remember GST, and we include rates, because just try not paying them. If you smoke you are really working until after lunch each day for Helen Clark.

Hypocritical peaceniks

I need not say anymore

But that was just it. He fought. And he fought. And he fought. He worshipped war. It would cause one to wonder why American "pacifists" would sport Che shirts and banners ... if one didn't realize that such pacifists, especially college kids, were historically ignorant.

Read the rest here and here.

Worried? Only for my wallet.

The subscript to the headline in the Dominion this morning suggests that we should be worried about the economic affects of el nino in the next few years. So it will get warmer, dryer, wetter and colder all at the same time. The problem that I see is the green panderers will charge ahead and implement the Kyoto protocol. To which I will say "WHY!” to which they will say "NZ has to do its part to stop Global Warming!" It's at that point that I purposely take my 6ltr 4x4 and run repeatedly over some rare tussock.

Global warming myths much to the Medias overlooking have been debunked in recent studies but let’s not let facts get in the way of great emotional stories.

Just a few points from a recent seminar quoted at SEPP

1. World Temperatures do not follow CO2 levels and indeed the warmest periods in the last 2,000 years were the Roman period and the Medieval period which were both warmer than present and had lower CO2 levels {various speakers - William Kininmonth Australian Climate Research}.
   

2. Solar particles decisively affect World temperatures. There is a much better correlation between world temperatures and particles than with CO2 levels {Piers Corbyn, Weather Action, London}.
   

3. There is no significant Sea level rise - in particular the Maldives are in no danger of submergence {Prof Nils-Axel Morner, Stockholm University}.
   

4. There is no climate induced increased danger of tropical diseases, e.g. malaria, since it is not itself a tropical disease - having being prevalent in Russia and Britain at various times. {Paul Reiter, Pasteur Institute Paris}.
   

5. There is no discernible link between Global warming & Extreme weather. Indeed the British Govt delegation specifically said they did not claim any increase in storms due to man-made CO2. {Madhav L Khandekar, consulting meteorologist, Ontario, Canada}.

Loonies the lot of them obviously!

Isn't that the point

You would think that the whole point of going into politics -besides muddling with other peoples lives- would be the perks. Free travel for the family, free accomodation, free meals and free fairy cakes at the rotary club. So both Don and Helen get caught speeding, whoop de doo. The only problem as I see it is that the motocade, mostly comprised of Fords, didn't have a breakdown, and therefore any talk of the record time made be brought into question. If I were PM I'd scrap the Fairlanes for Merc 500's, with serious silver alloys and blackened windows. Get that real tin pot dictatorship feel going.

NZ joins the Axis of Evil

The link has been established. NZ severs contact with Israel - you know the only democracy in the middle east- and jumps straight into bed with the nutters. Thanks Helen!

I hope someone here has the balls

New Zealanders are quite happy to be frogs in the pot. The heat is getting a little warmer now and when it finally begins to boil how will they bleat.

I'm all for smoking, it's your choice. If a bar is too smoky I leave. I a bar is forced to be smoke free and the punters stay away in droves and the cost of dropped sales is passed on in the drink price, I leave.

I hope that some bar owners have the balls to do this.

From memory the only smokefree bar in Wellington failed cause no one went in there.

Health and safety Nazis why don;t you just fuck off!

One Month

It's been over one month without posting. Please read my excuses for my lameness.

1. Other bloggers have said things better.
2. My utter disbelief in my fellow humans has taken my will to live
3. I've been busy: &
4. My dog ate it

I apologies and will attempt an more regular regime of posting

Let’s nuke em

Apparently we are going to have another winter of power shortages. We can’t build power stations because the taniwhas won’t allow a single blade of tussock to be hurt because it’s the natural habitat of a rare snail. Or could it be, as is in Wellington, one of those “you can’t build those propellers in my back yard, they are an eyesore and will hamper bird flight” situations. Not to mention that they are not very efficient. Or perhaps our pay-off, sorry koha, was'nt large enough.

I have the solution! Like Mao's plan, you commies will love this, instead of a steel smelter in every kitchen how about a nuclear power station in every village? Just think about the benefits! West Coasters could use the cheap and abundant electricity to power electric chain saws when they cut down the native forests. Certainly would reduce the noise pollution.

What’s wrong with nuclear power again? Oh that’s right it’s the cheapest and safest form of energy production in the world.

It’s that time again

Our glorious masters are giving away our hard earned cash to people who you and I don’t know. But only if those people vote to Labour thus reattaching the siphon to our wallets.

But have our masters inadvertently brought about their own demise? Mater Cullen Specifically allocated 45 million for the eradication of “exotic weeds, pests and diseases.” I can only dream.

Celebrities should just shut up

Madonna has cancelled her concerts in Israel because radical Republican Party Christian ministers have installed a fatwa calling for all Christians to kill Madonna and her family. No that's not the headline, the headline really reads Terror threat: We'll kill Madonna Then why did she say that the greatest threat to the world was not the terrorism but George W? Orinially

Bono from U2 wants to take all our money and save africa. Just selling Mugabe's Swiss chalets alone will get some nice returns on the $1 a day plan.

Even here in NZ we have peoples in the public eye using their status to push their agendas. Alannah Currie and her unwashed anti GE crowd must have felt real proud when Susan Devoy turned her back on the Cystic Fibrosis foundation after the discovery that genetic manipulation of milk has shown promising results in the journey to find a cure for the disease. How dare they find a cure! People with debilitating diseases must be celebrated for their diversity.

More Michael Moore

If a person comes up to me and says that Bowling for Columbine is a great documentary and really "shows" what’s going on in America, I immediately label them as a fuckwit and a retard a.k.a. a FuckTard. Michael Moore is a fat stupid rich guy with green communist agenda. I could go on but other people pull Moore apart better than I ever could. His latest movie Fahrenheit 9/11 is his latest attempt to oust GW, because uh ...you know... he’s a stupid white guy. It was met with salivatious applause by the usual Hollywood fucktards on their yearly donut to Cannes. Moore took time from reaping millions to support the French unemployed, but as Tim Blair puts it "Michael Moore backs work-shy French dole mimes.”

But these guys put it best Michael Moore hates America

Media Bias

Instapundit finds more evidence of media bias

I just don’t get it

I have met a number of Americans since the invasion of Iraq and none thus far support George W and the campaign in Iraq. And I’ll tell ya I just don’t get it. It’s bad enough getting it from the clueless in NZ but I have sat through a number of conversations where you get the rolled eyes, the scoffs and the sarcastic comments. But what do they mean?

Do they think the invasion of Afghanistan was wrong? Then what about bringing those to justice for the attacks on the WTC, the plane crash in Pennsylvania, the plane crash at the pentagon, the US embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania , the attack on the USS Cole, the Bali night club bombing, the Madrid train bombings…do I need to carry on?

So the Invasion of Iraq was wrong as well? I quote Clinton, Albright, Kerry et al.. “Saddam Hussein is a threat to the Middle East and measures must be taken to stop him developing chemical, biological and nuclear weapons” How did they intend to remove the Saddam threat? Surely George W only OK’d what had already been put into motion. Was it wrong to stop the killing of Iraqi’s – The UN said that 10,000 people a year were being killed in Iraq because of Hussein. We knew Hussein had the capability before and there was no reason now that he did not have programs for WMD’s. So freeing the people of Iraq from an evil dictator and preventing at least an Iraqi born WMD attack is wrong?

Do they want the UN to deal with Saddam? Saddam ignored all 19 or so resolutions passed in the Security Council, what made them think that it would be any different now? Even now as the Oil for fraud scandal leads right up to the cheeky darkie, do they still want the UN to be involved? Do they need to be reminded of the great UN successes like Somalia, Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia – and yes I know we live in enlightened times.

I can go on but I need to draw some conclusions for myself at least. I figure that those that scoff at George W and the US action in Iraq and Afghanistan forget a few things. On September the 11th 4 planes crashed on United States soil killing in excess of 3,000 people. The reason for these people dying was that they were non-believers. You see, in the west we can buy a newspaper in the morning reporting that a man of god has molested a child and been sent to prison. We can chose not to pray 5 times a day, not to go to a place of worship or not to worship at all. In the west we can see women in all their beauty in what ever clothes they want to wear. We are not required to starve our selves unless you read cosmo. And we don’t have to run on to a bus with Semtex strapped to our back to find 400 virgins waiting for us in the after life. What I am saying is that many people take our western culture for granted and even spurn it in the name of multi-culturalism or some other form of social engineering.

Well what do you want? Honestly if Iraq, Iran, the Sudan, North Korea, Cuba, Syria, Libya and Afghanistan are such great then why don’t you go and live there. Actually I am beginning to understand these people and it scares me deeply.

Ensuring Bush will be president

It’s emerging that the prison abuses in Iraq are nothing more than a bunch of frat boy pranks, with a little more blood. It’s still abhorrent and nothing more or less than what occurs in other Middle Eastern jails, maybe a little less death of immediate family members.

So just as the lefty peaceniks whoop themselves into an impeachment frenzy again over Abu Ghraib, the islamo-fascists (remember? the guys who we are at war with? cause they threaten our very existence) chop some saps head off. Not just any sap, an American sap. The Pentagon doesn’t believe him to be on their pay role, nor is he one of those evil civilian contractors rebuilding Iraq. The chap’s mother said he was an independent businessman and was scheduled to leave back in March. The reason for him being there is at this stage unknown. If you are a conspiracy theorist he was in Iraq on a secret government mission. If you’re a lefty he was an evil businessman exploiting the occupied peoples of Iraq. If you’re a blood thirsty republican hawk, he was a peacenik who tried to protect the wrong crowd. If you’re an islamo-facist he was an infidel, praise allah the almighty. Who knows, he could have even been the most evil of evil, a Christian missionary.

But what will our TV screens show tonight? Lets take a guess, TV one will open with a BBC reporter standing in front of US marines storming through Najaf saying that the beheading was “…an expression of the deep seated resentment that the Iraqi people have for the American occupation forces.” We can expect nothing better from TV3 either. I fully expect the media to continue looking for more “coalition abuses”; don’t suppose they will talk about the fake torture claims etc.

Just like to make a point here, is it just me or are the media suffering from “Labour-arrogance” syndrome. You know where they totally miss-judge it’s audience and find that they are watching Melrose Place re-runs on Sky 1.

This leads me to my conclusion. If there ever was a way to distract attention away from what could have been a little mess for Bush, Rumsfeld et-al, then chopping the head off an American, video taping it and posting it on the web would be one way to do it. (No doctor of spin could have ever come up with that). If the American people needed reminding what Iraq is about, without a plane going through the 75th floor window on final approach, then issuing a cash for infidel blood scheme would pretty much work. We are at war to save our civilasation people! Yet I fear that the peacenik appeasing lefties will sit back at their café’s drinking their organic soy lattes and ferment on the imperialistic Adolf Bush and express compassion for the noble Islamic freedom fighters. All I can say is “I can hear that crescent shaped blade being sharpened right now.”
