Miracles promised
November 3rd, 2011 at 9:16 am by David FarrarI got sent this by e-mail, and amused me enough to share:
These four older ladies who lived in Yugoslavia, always sat outside together near the church and chatted about when they were younger.
One month ago, they pooled their money and bought a laptop.
Never having been there, but having heard about Florida, they happened to click on St Augustine, FL. They read about the “Fountain of Youth”, as claimed by the Spaniards when they arrived.
They collected up all the money they had left and sent for four bottles of the miracle water.
As soon as it arrived, they drank as directed.
The rest of this story will make you a believer, because here they are today…
No!! …This is TRUE, really!! Would we lie to you?
We have a limited supply of this miracle water available at the incredibly low low price of just $1,999.95 per bottle, plus G.S.T.
HURRY BEFORE STOCKS RUN OUT !!

There are a number of qualities I admire in David Farrar.
His sense of humour isn’t one of them.
I have a theory: Partisan humour is inherently weak.
Better to remain humourless if you are a partisan IMO, but accept the inevitable parodying with good grace.
You make such easy targets. Ask Jon Stewart.

It is pretty weak humor I agree. But let see how their coatings stack up. The biggest weakness is labors spending is way ahead of the revenue increases and they have spent much much more. Everytime they get pressed nowhere the money is coming from they mention the capital gains tax.

“No!! …This is TRUE, really!! Would we lie to you?”
Remember Phil never tells a lie…..Though he did try a little to make himself younger but all it did was banish a bit of grey hair.

Wasted my time with that link Scott. Given the nature of this thread I thought it was going to be another hit piece on the poor taste in woman exhibited by rich right-wing men – or even a slash at Lefties-With-A-Sense-Of-Power-And-Entitlement and their resulting (cough) interactions with nubile young women. Anthony Weiner, the Kennedy’s, Hollywood, etc.
But making jokes about lawyers lacking souls?

Actually, the “miracle” is John Key’s magic pudding assett sales. He’s already spent the money paying down debt (it’s in the PREFU), but now he’s spending it again with his “future fund”.
How many times can the same money be spent?

National’s plan to cover government debt presupposes a strengthening world economy as they fantasize that getting the productive, especially the export sector, lean and mean will allow it to get a larger slice of the international market thereby increasing export earnings and using this to cover existing debt. But the excellence of our export sector does not assure a larger slice of the international market because free trade is still an hypothesis floating around in a quid pro quo international market, and because world markets are far from stable. Labour’s plan does not rely on this punt, Government debt is to be paid down using increased taxes over a period. If National’s roll of the dice fails, which looks likely, we are going to end up assetless, social services in disarray, and ballooning Government debt. WAKE UP!

And the National scenario… just change the name! No no, they’re not old ladies anymore, they’re now ‘attractive physique seekers’! Bam!
Vote:November 3rd, 2011 at 11:26 am
I continue to be amused by the notion that increasing the tax impost on the productive sector is the pathway to prosperity and jobs.
But I can understand how Labour might arrive at that conclusion given that virually none of them have ever worked in the productive sector. It is of course a great cash cow, awash with money, waiting to be milked …. not.

“If National’s roll of the dice fails, which looks likely, we are going to end up assetless, social services in disarray, and ballooning Government debt.”
Do you think Key will be worried by that scenario? By the time the shit hits the fan, Key will have long since left the building.

Haha – on cue, the usual suspects arrive on at KB with their repetitive ‘Key = Bad / Anything remotely connected with the left = good’ meme.
What a pathetic lot – totally bereft of any sense of humour. And any understanding of basic economics.
They’ll be a sad bunch on November 26th too.

Not wanting to be a prude or anything (ok, I’m a prude) but this commodification of women as sexualised hot babes is a bit yick. The older women in the first photo are equaly valuable and worthwhile, and I get a bit tired of this treatment of women and the inherent value-judgements based on big boobs, small bikinis and youth.
But I suspect I am a wilderness drum on this one.

One problem with this Labour Party conspiracy – most women would prefer to be respectable old ladies than skanks.
As usual, Labour’s promises of miracle working totally misjudges their target market.

I don’t want miracle water. I’m quite happy sitting at home with superannuation. I don’t want to have to go back to work. I don’t want to have to sift through girlfriends looking for a lifelong partner again then to be saddled with a mortgage. I don’t want crying babies with dirty nappies keeping me awake at night. I enjoy my grand kids. I can give them back when they get too much.
Sorry Labour you will have to improve on that to get my vote. How about free tickets on cruise ships along with free bus rides?
