Off to the butchers ... at 0300

Fourteen sheep were found bound and crammed into a car stopped by police in the Hastings suburb of Flaxmere early today

"I was taking the sheep for a ride, Orificer".

Rustlers off to the butchers.
At least we can be thankful that Mr Plod did not catch them doing anything unspeakable with the ewes in the wee small hours.

"after he had been to WINZ ... unresponsive"

after he had been to Winz, the mother returned home that night to find him lying on the couch, unresponsive

Yes dear readers, that statement sums up the life of those bludgers in our communities leeching benefits off the taxpayer.

Once given a handout derived from someone else's hard earned work, why would you want to be responsive? Why indeed? Personal responsibility never enters the equation. The hard-done-by gummint-owes-me-a-living culture must end.

Comment of the day

What NZ needs is a disciplined, positive, strong Right Party with an real activist base in the streets and towns throughout NZ. A party that doesn't tolerate leftism, wowserism, socialism, unionism, libertarianism, or all the other stupid manifestations of the left. A party that puts responsibility before rights, duty before freedom, discipline before self-expression, commerce before charity, work before recreation, punishment before parole, police before criminals, safety before terrorism.

NZ Bloggers Union Awards

Some nutter has started an alternative award system after the recent farce that was the Qantas national blogger awards. Supposedly a national event - three entered themselves. Must be a a division of Backscratchers Anon. Just like where the gummint of the day gives out gongs bi-annually to time servers, but that is another story.

This blog will not be self-entering this new contest. I disagree with self-promotion. My blog stands on its own feet - you read it, take offence or keep coming back. Some do come back daily for more punishment as I shout into the void.

If someone wishes to trawl the drivel I have written in 2009 and nominate me, so be it. I won't be available to physically receive any award, not that I'd expect one, there being many finer blogs on the right, like CK, KS, CR, AG, HP and OB to name but a few.

ps Keeping Stock is wondering whether to self-promote.

Suspended sentence?

Bethune has rehearsed a "humble" speech in Japanese for his trial starting in the Tokyo District Court today

As soon as he gets off with a suspended sentence the prick will be rubbing it in, laughing in our faces readying himself for another hare-brained scheme putting his and the lives of others at extreme risk. The facts speak for themselves, already killed once, nearly got all his crew killed in the Southern Ocean.

15 years is too short. The Japs must want whaling really bad.

Cheap: New paint job, just over 100,000,000 miles on the clock

These are unique spacecraft, and they truly are one-of-a-kind


Got a spare $30M? You too could be a proud owner.

Strategic Weasel Words

need to manage the university carefully through a challenging financial period while also investing in resources to focus on the university's strategic initiative

Strategic initiative? Sounds like a load of bollocks-speak to me, but I guess that would be something like getting Liarbour re-elected so professional students can tap the mother-lode of taxpayer funding.
underfunding by successive governments is limiting student numbers and creating challenging financial times for the tertiary sector

Obviously tertiary trough dwellers complaining about having to justify their existence in these straitened times.

Thanks, but no thanks, Mr President

Sen. Arlen Specter became the fourth Democrat in seven months to lose a high-profile race despite the president's active involvement, raising doubts about Obama's ability to help fellow Democrats in this November's elections

Obama's endorsement is the political kiss of death.

Put your sunnies on. Now!

If you see any bright lights in the sky, it will be too late, you will be blinded.

No it isn't the sun after all that rain overnight, it will be the beginning of a nuclear winter.

And the Yanks are right in there.

Rough day

It was a rough day at the office yesterday for John Boy Key.

Seems more than a few of his lieutenants are getting above their station now that the body corporate got a tick in the box for their do nothing budget last week. Us Kiwis are so easily bribed but that is well, another story others have covered.

On topic, here are a few defensive headlines in the ODT today.

  • PM backs smacking review after criticism
  • No decisions on asset sales: Key
  • Carter told to stop commenting on Crafar sale
  • Minister defends ETS
  • Key defends GST and other hikes

Definitely on the back foot is our illustrious leader. Using up a fair bit of political capital there I'd say having to defend this and that. Like the budget, if you have to defend it, the effect is lost.

Maybe 'Smile and Wave' wants all the limelight to himself...

Just to start your day...

He's back.

Rain bomb on its way?

Not if Metservice has anything to do with it.

You wouldn't know if you were relying on their website - the 3 day rain forecast has not been updated since 1100 this morning.

Another government bureaucracy out to lunch for the day as the weather deteriorates all over the country.


Updated at 1815 - amazing what happens when crap service is published on a blog...
You'd could be excused for thinking a three hourly model might be updated a little more regularly.



Labour continues delivering negative messages

A private member's bill to exclude the northern part of Rodney from the Auckland Super City is one step closer with Rodney's mayor saying the Labour Party is throwing its support behind it.

In another fit of pique Labour has embarked on yet another campaign of out and out bad publicity in Auckland.

No wonder Labour is where it is the polls. The biggest city in the country and all Labour delivers is continual negativity. Auckland wants the restructure job completed forthwith, the socialists routed from the business operations and to get on with being number one.

Obviously we would prefer a local MP


Yeah right. The voters elected Key and Lockwood to the area because they wanted action on the matter. Labour might just learn how to extract those votes around 2014 or even 2017 at this rate.

I live in hope one of these days Labour might cease their sour grapes harping on and actually be supportive of the voters in the Queen City.

Budgeting the Liarbour way

Some northerners balancing da books in the dead of night, using redistributive economics so favoured by Liarbour. No doubt ensuring their own tax policies are applied fairly to all.
