A question for you: why would anyone want the self-inflicted disability of 89cm (2ft 11in) fingernails?

Picture here:

Speaking of disabilities, Deborah Coddington made a significant error this morning (it happens in the best of families):

If we spent the same money on a nightly Crimestoppers type TV show, that we spend on things like maori TV we would reduce crime overnight.

half an hour every night on say TV1. Post rewards between $100 to whatever and watch crime drop

The very worst news of the day is this, David “haka” Currie is to take over as manager of the New Zealand Cricket team.

It seems that Mr Currie is no longer content with embarrassing the nation once every two years at Olympic or commonwealth games he now wants to do the same to the cricket team.

I swear, if I ever see our cricketers do the bloody stupid rain dance we call the haka I will shoot Currie right between the eyes.

I see on TV3 news today about how Obama is learning from the Japanese lost decade that their stimulus package was working then they scaled it back to start paying back debt which was what caused the continuing recession/depression.

Funny how people can look at a scenario and come to exactly the wrong conclusion. 🙁

Crikey phil, why don’t you have a look at the first post in yesterday’s General Debate thread.

Do catch up.

I suggest you also scroll down to one of Phil Best’s posts and check out the Shiff video as well, and then look at Portia’s set of excellent links further down.

BTW phil, “denialists” pertains to AGW, I thought. You lefties really need to get your propaganda slogans sorted, don’t you.

Ha ha..what did I tell you Dime

And DPF, that was a rather unfortunate choice of words given Dime’s rather perverse sexual practices.

The Investigate article (large PDF) appears to have been posted here http://kauri.aut.ac.nz:8080/dspace/bitstream/123456789/1885/1/tgif13feb09.pdf
Excerpt: “A global business conglomerate tied to international money laundering and linked by Indian police, the CIA and MI6 to one of the world’s most wanted criminals and terrorists, is trying to get listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange by leveraging its connections to a couple of senior NZ politicians.
National’s Internal Affairs Minister Richard Worth is named in Companies Office records as a shareholder in the New Zealand arm, WSD Global Markets Ltd (via his family trust), while the deputy leader of Jim Anderton’s Progressive Party – Matt Robson – is chairman of the board and has been on the board for four years.”

Wishart’s article did say that Matt Robson, and also Richard Worth, who owns shares, are blameless about the money-laundering activities that take place deep in the machinery of what is on the surface a perfectly legitimate company. So I fail to see why Matt Robson was so worried as to get a lawyers letter done, unless he does carry some guilt over his relationship with that company.

All you posters who are asking “what is this all about”, “what is Wishart saying”; I recommend a subscription to TGIF; as DPF says, it is an incredibly small amount of money extremely well spent.

Exactly, Bullitt. Presumably if Obama makes an even bigger mess of the US economy than Roosevelt did, and than the Japanese have of their own; I suppose the lefty nanny staters will say oh, our mistake this time was that we STILL didn’t spend enough money, we should tack six noughts onto the end instead of three…….the logical conclusion, is of course that Robert Mugabe should have fixed the Zimbabwean economy long ago if this was ever going to work.
