Oh, there is an exit. Let’s hope 99.9% of the electorate see sense on November 8.

So let’s get this right. Cullen has to borrow over $5 billion a year to fund his commitments to working for families and interest free loans. Borrowing to introduce new benefits …

The best predictor of what Labour would do next term, is what they have done this term. Erode our political institutions, undermine the independence of the civil service, and spend like a drunken failure.

The sign is pointing downwards towards the gates of hell.

DON’T trust the sign!

It should read “CULLEN ST, NO ENTRANCE!”

Hey Phule – speaking of cul de sacs – have you sorted out Auckland Uni on their ‘mistake’ yet?

Or don’t you want to go down that road again?

Cullen St is the one near the overpriced utilities, between community chest and chance

As a decided ACT voter, I’m not shy about pulling John Key up on his weak points , but I was impressed with his performance on TV3’s Ramble Live last night.

He got the message across clearly that Cullen has fucked it up big time and that voting for Labour was a ridiculous thing to do. He sat there nailing the points home and smiling like the guy who knows he can offer his tax cuts regardless.

God, he’s so polite sometimes he makes me wince. That fuck, John Ramble, trying again and again to knock him down with a wet flannel, totally ignoring the government he ran propaganda and media defence for has turned out to be an economic sham – among other more serious charges. He even had the gall to suggest Key was making a political broadcast toward the end of this interview! Christ, they do it for Labour for free.

As for the NZ Communist Herald, they’re off again on the National Bash, ala Sarah Palin: “Cullen Rains on key’s Parade”.

No he hasn’t, you incompetent twats. If you’re going to comment on political issues in a national paper, wouldn’t it be wise to stay up to date on what the polticians are saying? And once again, Commie Herald shrugs off Cullen incompetence and turns to Key to justify himself saying:

“AHaa! We’ve fucked it good and proper! You said you could fix it, well can you fix it now? You still can? What about now?”

Apparently just waiting for the time Key finally says, yes, you’ve fucked it beyond repair – good for you you ignorant selfish morons.

to which they’ll reply:

“AhaAA! Key lied! He can’t repair the damage we inflicted on ourselves!”

Everyone in that office, starting at the editor, should resign in shame. It’s not news, it’s propaganda.

“Oh, I thought philu had fucked off – no such luck. He must have been on a mandatory WINZ workshop on getting a job or learning how to powhiri…..”

No, expat, philu is a genuinely worried man, him and his mates in the Green PC sisterhood.

I started telling my good friend Henry about “philu” the other day………got a Masters degree, unemployed, solo parent, a vegan, animal rights activist, criminal record; and before I had mentioned my own suspicions to Henry, Henry said “sounds like a stooge to me…….”

Henry is not stupid. There are too many non-stupid people on this blog, philu, we know what you’re up to. It’s just a matter of time, just like “The Standard”.

Finally a Kiwiblog post worthy of the calibre of comments it is inevitably going to get.

A simple check on wises.co.nz reveals that it must be Cullen St in Paeroa and, therefore, world famous in New Zealand.

Even under what must have been a fearsome onslaught from some generously-proportioned, Waikato-Draught-Drinking local lads, the Cullen sign still stands proud. A little local buckling near the base but considering the age and condition of the post, perfectly acceptable.
