Boxing Day Discussion
Far too nice a day to be blogging – I’ve been flying kites and doing other activities with various nephews and nieces. The weather is a cracker.
Anyway for those who are staying online, use this thread for general debate.

Let’s hope John Key faces up to the present Global Recession and recognise that there will be no true recovery until 2010.
December 26th, 2008 at 1:30 pm
Lets accept that we were really unprepared for the rainy day, and Labour First really squandered all the supposed surpluses.
The sad fact is that Goff Labour has resorted to snide, underhand tactics to blame the incoming administration.
The two real drivers to pull us out of a nosedive are Interest Rates, and Currency Exchange indicators.
There needs to be a freeze on Public Sector pay until the recession is over.
Corporate Tax Rates should be set at 29-33% maximum, and all Property tax shelters need to be removed.

Let us hope that JK realises that tougher economic times call for flatter tax regimes, and if tax systems are to be progressive at all, it should be solely so that infrastructure can be paid for, and only ever in times of supreme prosperity.
Let’s roll the dice and move to a 23% flat tax.

I see that global warming has been blamed for all sorts of things lately, including the death of the Lochness monster.

and cigarette smoke is being blamed for weight gain. Thats a new one.

Very interesting TKNORRIS…..It seems the most alarming new comes from the New Zealand Scientist SALINGER who predicts global warming will force the price of beer up.

And I’m still trying to figure out why National have increased the fines on parents of truants when schools deal with the difficult students by suspending or expelling them. How many students are in both groups?

I used to post as another classical figure, but now that the election is over I’ve moved off politics and thought I’d reinvent myself as a blogger rather than a commentator. As DPF says, one day everybody will be a blogger.
So here’s my one spot of link whoring. Just for those who are bored and desperate.

Darn the slack caps LOST AGAIN
Lets invite the big hitting WI batsman ,the one that kicked our arses single handed) and try to get a group of players with stronger backbones and with better cricket skills ie like we give the west indies the slack caps and we take a group of winners from them, its a thought????

Anyone foolish enough to believe in the myth of “global warming” should take a moment to look at these two links:
This one from NASA explains the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO):
http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOTD/view.php?id=8703
This second one from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) describes the PDO two days ago on Christmas Day:
http://www.osdpd. noaa.gov/ PSB/EPS/SST/ data/anomnight. 12.25.2008. gif
The US friend who sent me the second one commented:
Satellite image shows the PDO is back. We’re in for several decades of cooler climate. Note the horseshoe shape of cold water in the Pacific northeast. Gore must be crying in his beer at the lost revenue from his carbon capping scam.
Chilling, eh?
But must get back to preparing material for that ridiculously early closing date of 13 February for Select Committee submissions.
I hope the politicians are enjoying the “good rest”recommended by the Prime Minister. Thanks to the Claytons Select Committee, some of us have to carry on working.
December 27th, 2008 at 10:05 am
Sorry about second link; Try this one:

Interesting stuff Owen,
Thanks for the links
December 27th, 2008 at 12:01 pm
So that is why the Scamsters changed the name (BRAND), from Global Warming to Climate Change.
AGW was a scary concept for the masses. Unable to be proven, and so it had to be changed to another BRAND which by definition could not be challenged.
Climate by its very Nature changes for a massive number of reasons. All perfectly valid, and the human interface causing some effect, but miniscule in the Grand Scheme.
Pollution from the myriad Coal Power Stations in China, Human Body Waste, and Cow Waste in India do have an effect.
The only real lesson for humanity is that pollution, wastage, and poor planning will result in adverse local problems.
It is incumbent on all of us to use resources sensibly.
However co2 is NOT a problem. It is all leading up to a ‘Breathing Tax’.
December 27th, 2008 at 4:43 pm
Hi everyone, does anyone remember that lying barren person called helen davis who signed us up as best friends to the yellow commies CHINA, the land of the free and the bave (WHAT THE FUCK???FREE).

Look, you can claim all you like that China is communist, but it ain’t. It IS a dictatorship, but not of the proletariat. Looks like you’ve been fucked over by good old free market capitalism that cares more about its profits than about you.
Now joe, be a good boy, pull your foreskin over your head and whistle through the hole.

How long is it since TV3 news lead with something other than accidental death(s) or murder(s) ?
December 28th, 2008 at 10:47 am
dont know, dont watch it, but guess it would be since Garner and co tried to destroy the Nats in the election
pretty hard not to headline murders though when young drugged (maori?) beneficiaries are still killing little kids like this….
“Man charged with toddler’s murder
A 21-year-old man has today been charged with the murder of a 16-month-old Northland boy who died last week. The arrested man, a beneficiary, will also face a number of drug-related charges”
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10549877
December 28th, 2008 at 11:26 am
Patrick, I’m looking as hard as I can, but I can find no reference to the boy or the accused being maori. Please don’t make the same stupid commenst Michael Laws is famous for.
From today’s SST “What’s the bet the 16-month Kerikeri boy that died last week after suffering severe head injuries did not emanate from a middle-class, white family?”
Well, really, what’s the bet he didn’t come from a middle class family, regardless of ethnicity?

Labour lost the election. Talk about the Christmas presents coming early. It now means that New Zealanders can at last have a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

December 28th, 2008 at 4:06 pm
You seem to be a less than average, Joe. Did you go to the same school as the Woman from Walissa?
December 28th, 2008 at 4:32 pm

December 28th, 2008 at 4:52 pm
No Joe, I don’t have a problem at all. You are the one who is incapable of writing an intelligible sentence.
As I said, you’re below average, Joe. Of course, since you’re actually dad4justice in drag, that doesn’t come as a surprise.

WALLY OF THE YEAR:
This accolade must surely go to all the TV journalists and newspaper editorial writers here and overseas who as the year draws to a close are calling for armed international intervention against the mad dictator of Zimbabwe Robert Mugabe. These same fruit loops have been inveighing for years against the Coalition forces armed intervention to remove Saddam Hussein, and their success absolutely guarantees that democratically elected governments around the world and their populations will never again sanction such intervention. Well done Robert Fisk, Wellington’s DomPost Foreign Affairs editor and all the other doolallies out there. Those defenseless thousands of women and children already killed by Mugabe, either by machete, cholera or starvation in Zimbabwe, and those who are about to die there, salute you.
December 30th, 2008 at 11:03 am
Never thought I would ever agree with someone called John Terris but in this case you are spot on. Evil dictators breath a sigh of relief now, knowing that they can and will, get away with whatever they want.
