Otago Daily Times – an ‘F’ ?

The following is something I just shot off to the ODT website. You can guarantee it won’t make the light of day in that form – for the reasons it contains!!!! Thwe John de Bueger opinion piece in the ODT (mentioned) is a cracker – but where was the assimilation with the Loughrey piece?  Ne’er [...]

Gerry Brownlee – thrice shall you deny me before the cock crows…

Just a quick comment this morning – my day (and the whole week) have been too full. What a laugh! Gerry Brownlee – three times sequentially, talking about Phil Heatley’s resignation. “He’s done what he thinks is in his own best interests”. Three times he said it, no bull – Morning Report it was. Nothing [...]

I couldn’t have put it better, so here it is:

From Times Online // February 22, 2010 ‘Buy farmland and gold,’ advises Dr Doom Leo Lewis, Asia Business Correspondent // <!– –> The world’s most powerful investors have been advised to buy farmland, stock up on gold and prepare for a “dirty war” by Marc Faber, the notoriously bearish market pundit, who predicted the 1987 [...]

Heatley and Mauis? Run little dolphins, run.

Their wealth – which is the way they bolster their flawed egos – is much more important than your species continued existence. Run little Mauis, run.

on kids and adventure – this is a good parent…

Obama nuclear Chu

That was inevitable. Stephen Chu was always about nuclear, America was always in a pickle, and Obama needs a way out. That country didn’t go into Iraq for WMD, it went for the oil – currently let or being let. All purported 12 million barrels per day of it. That is the real game, despite [...]

Censorship by any other name. Jonathan Coleman. RNZ

It had to happen. Think it through. These – in my opinion – are dumb people. Three of them showed that yesterday – Tolley and Bennet in Parliament, Key linguistically re security threats to sport. Their message, indeed their whole approach, is mathematically-provably flawed. So there can be two reasons for their actions – one [...]

John Key – visionless, weak and cranially constrained?

This blog is rapidly looking like a non-stop negative, but what can you say when what is going on is so nuts? John Key this morning absolutely ducked the possibility of tackling the Japanese with any moral fortitude. We simply can’t upset the fiscal applecart. Well, whoring and immorality were always common bedfellows. Pete Bethune [...]

Pete Bethune vs Murray McCully – hero vs wet weak

Well done that man. Well and truly done. Pete Bethune is doing what Murray McCully would have been doing – had he any gumption, fortitude or ethics. Which means I think he has none of the above. For those who want to investigate McCully and his ethics more, I suggest a study of the BNZ, [...]

Just another Manic Monday

Here we go again, again. The fishing industry this time. 8000 regulations, we hear from RNZ News. Fancy that! Terrible. How can we tolerate it?  Lets reduce that at once….. Hmmmmm. How many actually apply to quota, and by-catch? Not asked!  Fourth Estate?  Spare me. That’s not even amateur. The bottom line is that fisheries [...]
