Penny, Jane Kelsey, and Lori Wallach were sitting on a park bench in Albert Park talking amongst themselves about their upcoming TPP meeting, when a flasher came by.

The flasher stood right in front of them and opened his trench coat.

Well, Penny had a stroke.

Then, Jane had a stroke.

Lori had arthritis and couldn’t reach that far.

Dirty Harry:

That’s extraordinary.

A room-for-rent advertisement in Wellington that specified ‘no heterosexuals’ has been criticised by the Human Rights Commission.

The advertisement, which was listed on Trade Me on Thursday, included the line: “We don’t want to live with a couple, a heterosexual person, or someone who is loud at night, or drinks/does drugs/party[s] a lot.”
…
It was for a four-bedroom house in the suburb of Newtown, which the existing flatmates described as a “queer, transgender, vegetarian household”.

They described themselves as two “feminist/politically switched on adults” and went to say they also did not want to live with anyone who is “racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, fatphobic [sic], hates sex workers, hates migrants or is otherwise a jerk”.

“We want to live with someone who is relaxed, motivated, grown up, reliable, considerate, child friendly, LGBTQIA+ [lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex or asexual], pays the board on time with no stress, [is] vegetarian or vegan.”

Geez, that narrows down the field!

Funnily enough, Nasska, I was just wondering what it’d be like to work with these “feminist/politically switched on adults”. I wonder if Mikenmild has come across these sorts of people in the public sector – because, heaven forbid, I wouldn’t have thought they’d last long in the private sector.

Haven’t you read the script dirty harry?

She’s a woman & as such always a victim who can never be held responsible for her own actions.

I’m glad you mentioned that Nostra. Earlier on (8.09am) Mike indicated that he was wearing beige to the cricket today.

You don’t suppose that he was attending in drag? 🙂

I have met a few characters in my time who were extremely politically correct, but that particular combination of preferences is new to me.

There was a time long ago when we had places called ‘asylums’. From memory, some of the bigger ones went by the names of (south to north): Seacliff, Porirua, Lake Alice, Kingseat.
For better or worse, those places no longer exist, but those who would formerly inhabit them are unfortunately now living in our midst.
Fellow Kiwibloggers, I think you know who I’m talking about.

Perhaps they would find her suitable for the room-to-rent in Wellington.

I commented on another thread condemning the incompetent corrupt judge. As you see I got thumbs down.

@ 08:58am –

“Still haven’t removed your head from that smelly place where, in my view, you appear to have wilfully inserted it Alex Masterley?”

@ 05:38pm –

“Perhaps if you too Nasska – removed YOUR head from that smelly place where you appear to have determinedly inserted it – you would not be so preoccupied with this ridiculous ‘smelly protestor’ thing?”

The two comments above are both from the same contributor to today’s GD thread. They represent direct personal abuse directed at specific individuals. It beats me how this kind of disgusting diatribe can be regarded as compatible with Kiwiblog’s published Comments Policy.

Yes, bewildering seems to be the word alright notrotsky. We really do have some saps as judges. Maybe they need to do a 6 monthly WOF..see if they are still fit for the role.

I must have missed those comments when I scrolled through the thread. I assume they fall into the “Hidden due to low comment rating” category – in which case, well, a significant proportion of Kiwiblog readers have judged that the comments weren’t worth reading and downvoted them.

Keeping Stock

As bewildering as this decision may be Chuck, you do yourself no favours by publicly accusing a judge of being corrupt. And even worse; you expose DPF to potential litigation as a co-defendent in a defamation action by making such an allegation here.

By all means make the accusation in your own forum, but it is very poor form to expose DPF to the risk of a lawsuit.

Vinny’s NUTShell: Penny Bright http://www.pennybright4mayor.org.nz
Corruption Campaigner needs to fly out to Australia and attend and international corruption conference and at this point in time New Zealand surely needs a corruption overhaul!
With money laundering becoming a big issue and the authorities derelict in their duties it is up to the public and public watchdogs to do the due diligence in order to rid this nation of such scumbaggery.

Penny already has airfares and accommodation sorted for the 2013 Australian Public Sector Anti-Corruption Conference, 26, 27,28 November 2013 in Sydney but needs a hand financially for registration – $2000 (Aus)
and Workshops – $870 (Aus)
If 150 donate $20 each – that’s sorted!

This was your comment:

DG, I knew the cunt before he became a judge. He was well up Auckland Snible Liberties.
As you know I have no time for paedophiles or their enablers.
Could I get charged with contempt of court for calling this judge a cunt.
We need judicial accountability and recall.

As Keeping Stock says, by all means disagree with the decision, but you should do so without exposing DPF to litigation as an online content host.

Donald Trump sat in the fifth row when the Rev Pamela Saturnia spoke of exiles from Syria and Mexican immigrants. Have to hand to the guy, fifth row – given the opportunity to later rethink his position on both topics and more firmly line up with the Iowa religious vote who watched him come to church and listen to a sermon. Trump is able to win on both a winning and losing bet, that takes some doing. Next time he’ll be at the front and voters will love him for that.

President Obama’s grandma arrives in Mecca to perform the umrah, which apparently is the lesser form of the pilgrimage to Mecca.
