Another Tui Ad

"Two white supremacist skinheads were arrested in Tennessee last week over plans to go on a killing spree and eventually shoot Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama..."

Here is a classic media beat-up.

They were as likely to knock off the Sock Puppet as they were to successfully hold up a gun shop. All piss and wind.

It's the sort of thing you hear in a pub most Friday knight, where someone get as skinful and is going to shoot (insert politician of choice] in the guts.

Like Joe the farm hand who is going to drop the governor-general for what the bastard said in 1954- any planning came out of a bottle.

They probably wouldn't be capable of picking up a few tips from a Tom Clancy novel (no pictures).

But of course the police have to work on possibilities, not probabilities.

The cynical might say that the timing was impeccable for a few sympathy votes. The evil right tries to knock off the new prophet.

However, I, like God, do not play with dice and do not believe in coincidence...

Coming here soon?

How long before the Fingermen bring this law into play?

Cheese Emporium

Today was a trip to the other side of the island to look at beaches with sand, instead of rocks.

As usual, we called into Lindale

The boys like like the farmyard thing (like they have never seen a farm before) Of course there the farmyard animal like climbing all over the visitors- unlike the other way around further north.

A close second to the farmyard was the sweet shop- probably because we failed to mention that until after the farmyard. I did not want to watch devouring beasts of the field and ravenous boys fight to the death over sugar. It gets bad enough with those foul-smelling feed pellets they sell you to feed their stock!

The sweet shop had a selection of pogey bait from the past- huge gobstoppers and lolly pops big enough to give a Greenie apoplexy. I brought a bag of Irish Moss flavoured sweets that I haven't seen since my grandmother smoked herself to death. The boys got red liquorice and a bag of 'Huhu bugs'. 'Er indoors' got chocolate covered coffee beans and I got to pick up the tab.

The Kapiti cheese and icecream shop was impressive and my compliments to the young lad who ran about helping the horde of customers while two useless girls ignored the crowds trying to hand money across the counter.

The icecream was very good- although they will never reach the lofty standards set by Rush Munroe.

The cheeses are currently being nibbled away. I picked the inevitable Kikorangi along with an Awa strong blue, Harvarti creamy smoked and a Camembert with pesto. Served with Crostini, anchovy-stuffed olives, salami, pickled walnuts and gerkins.

A good port on the side, of course!

These limp-dicks have come up with this bit of fuckwittery.

If we call fish 'Sea Kittens', people will stop wanting to catch or eat them.

Lights on, nobody home...

Quite free from the ravages of intelligence...

I was listening to a string of ignorant morons callers on the talk back today- but then I repeat myself!

Every time a cop shoots somebody a pack of wankstains come out of the closet, spewing forth on a subject they know zero about.

Some points:

• Point a firearm, an airgun or a replica at police- expect to die.

• Point a pointed stick or anything that may vaguely look like a firearm at police (in bad light)-expect to die.

• This is not a rifle range. The target moves, so shooting at shoulders or knees is not an option.

• People die from being shot in knees or shoulders. John Wayne never heard of hypovolemic shock, but everyone outside Hollywood is subject to it.

• Bushmaster rifles don't have 'high-powered telescopes' on them.

• The 'second chance' is given when the offender is ordered to put down the weapon.

• The policeman who pulls the trigger will be subjected to a witch hunt the likes of which you cannot comprehend- and he knows this.

• Replica or airguns cannot be distinguished from the real thing at a distance- and in a fraction of a second. Would YOU bet your life that it ain't a real Glock?

• Were YOU sticking YOUR wide arse on the line that day?

• Have you EVER put your wide arse on the line?

• Would YOU rush somebody who may or may not have a loaded firearm- and is mentally unbalanced?

Finally:

Ask Sergeant Don Wilkinson for an opinion about taking on an assailant armed with 'Only an airgun'

That would be a bit hard now, wouldn't it...

Suicide- the censored killer

Another one in town this week. That makes four in the last twelve months- plus at least one attempt that I know of.

This is in a town of 2500.

Note that there are no links- that's because you won't find anything in the MSM. Apparently they have some sort of a political understanding- driven by an MP who would rather not hear the word SUICIDE.

It's not a nice word. Nor are RAPE, MURDER, MOLESTATION, INCEST, PEDOPHILIA OR TORTURE.

But they happen- and happen here. Will they go away if we do not name these sins?

Like hell- silence is a prerequisite for evil unchecked.

It's fairly clear that these things need to be exposed, condemned and prevented where possible.

The MSM's voluntary silence on suicide is one more reason proving that they cannot be trusted with a position of any relevance in this world.

Update:
Somebody from the DomPost seems to have read this!

They both need the shit slapped out of them!

This is the loony tune UK, but could easily be the case here!

"Teenager Sam Holt's behaviour would leave most parents in despair - drinking, smoking, taking drugs and having sex.

But the 13-year-old's mother thinks it is 'sweet' rather than shocking.

Tracy Holt even rewards her daughter with cigarettes on the rare occasions when she does behave...

Miss Holt, 43, knows Sam drinks but is just relieved that it's not more than a couple of cans of lager a night.

And she decided not to get angry about her daughter losing her virginity at 12, instead insisting that Sam uses contraception.

Miss Holt, a jobless single mother with two other adult children, told Closer magazine: 'I don't see the point in punishing her.

'If I ground her, I'm just punishing myself because I have to put up with her in the house. Instead, I reward her good behaviour by giving her cigarettes. If she's bad, she goes without.

'She's a little comedian. I let her get away with a lot of cheek. It's sweet.'

Giving out cigarettes as a reward 'works', she insisted.

Miss Holt said: 'There are a lot worse things she could be doing..."

OK, so now you see why some are the way they are!

Useless bludging slut begats another useless bludging slut!

She thinks her daughters behaviour is 'cute'

I don't. That's because people like myself are the ones who are forced to pick up the tab- at the expense of OUR families.

No doubt this little tart will have whelped a litter of little bastards to an assortment of anonymous sperm-donors before too long.

And the cycle continues.

ENOUGH!

I am now of the view that EVERY person who lives on a taxpayer funded benefit shall be required to be fitted with a contraceptive implant as a condition to receiving ANY benefit. (with the exception of the pension ;-)

Any person on a benefit for more than two years shall be given the option of sterilization, with a two thousand dollar one-off payment. Failure to take up this offer means that their benefit is frozen. No more increases for more brats or CPI adjustments!

Taking out the Trash

There is a call for particular attention in policing to be directed at 'Crime Families'

I'm a great supporter of this.

Everybody knows that a hell of a lot of crime is committed by a very small proportion of people. This is really obvious in a small town!

As well as and alongside gangs, there are many well-known families associated with recidivist lifestyles. These scum are pure and simple parasites. They do nothing but take from decent society. THEY need to be policed to the full extent of the law.

Their cars stopped, checked and searched on a very regular basis. The same with their homes. Any bail conditions are constantly monitored. Every time one of them spits on the footpath they are arrested.

This needs to be carried out thoroughly, regularly and without letup. I continues regardless of them leaving town. It carries on until they get the message and straighten up.

The naysyers reckon it won't stop them- they won't/can't learn. Too bad. It's much harder to commit crimes when the police are continually watching.

In my book 'Human Rights' are lost when you choose to live outside decent society- and demonstrate this on a continual basis.

This lot could have used a bit of this treatment. I wonder if they would have qualified for 'special attention'...

A tale of two families

It is a story which crystalises the dubious values encouraged by the British welfare state.

While hardworking Sean and Anne Tate scrimp to afford a few little luxuries for their ten children on his £15,000 lorry driver's salary, a family of the same size two miles away take things a little easier.

Harry Crompton, 50, has been out of work for 15 years and his wife Tracey, 40, has never had a job.

A tale of two families: Anne Tate, above with nine of her ten children, says her family 'would never scrounge' while Harry and Tracey Crompton, below with nine of their children, take £32,000 benefits

Yet thanks to the generosity of the welfare state they receive £32,656 a year. The Cromptons have been nicknamed 'Britain's Biggest Freeloaders' by their neighbours in Hull.

Mrs Tate, 43, a stay-at-home mother, could barely believe what she was reading when she saw media coverage of the Cromptons' situation earlier this week.

'I am absolutely furious,' she said. 'The Government want shooting for allowing people to get away with scrounging like this.

'We have worked hard all our lives to provide for our kids, and when you see families like this it makes you wonder why you bother.

'But we have pride in ourselves and would never scrounge like this family. It makes me sick. Gas, water, electricity, council tax has all gone up – we don't get any help with that.'

The Tates bought their three-bedroom house from the council four years ago and built an extension with two extra bedrooms.

The Cromptons, by contrast, were provided with two semis knocked together by the council at a cost of £20,000.

The couple's only income from paid work is £20 a week from eldest son Michael, who has a factory job.

Tracey and Harry Crompton have bought £3,000 of Christmas presents already with their benefit money

They receive a further £628 a week in income support, disability allowance, carer's allowance, child tax credit, plus £120 a week rent on their seven-bedroom house.

A working parent would have to earn £46,500 a year to match their income. The only state handouts the Tates receive is child benefit – which is available to all parents regardless of how much they earn.

Life is cramped to say the least in their home in Hull's Bransholme district. Michael, 23, has moved out, but Gary, 20, Leanne, 18, Brandon, 12, Shaunnah, 11, Mercedes Rose, seven, triplets Madison Rae, Porschia Lillie and Poppie Marie, five, and Jayden, three, still live there.

More...

• The jobless couple with 10 children who rake in £32,000 a year in benefits.. and who STILL aren't happy

Over at the Cromptons', the walls are dirty and the floor is covered in videos and magazines. Mrs Crompton says she 'doesn't have much time for cleaning'.

The Tates' home and garden are immaculate. Mr Tate, 44, recently installed a new kitchen and designed and built a new marble fireplace in the living room.

Mrs Tate said: 'You don't have to live like a tramp. People think you do if you have big family. Everything we have got you work hard for and look after.

'There is a lot of love in any house. In our house. because there are more of us, it goes around.

'We have a lot of fun. We always have a house-full and the children bring their friends as well.'

The Cromptons seem to be less happy with their lot. Earlier this week Mrs Crompton said she would have to be 'very well paid' to make it worth her while getting a job.

She added: 'I'm not satisfied with the benefits we get – I want more.'

Mr Crompton says he is unable to work due to angina and irritable bowel syndrome.

Crime & election promises

It has come to my attention that various criminals recently arrested are choosing (or being advised) to immediately plead guilty.

A lawyer is generally as reluctant to offer this advice as a Frenchman who lives next door to a brothel is to move house.

These is a great reluctance to delay and risk being sentenced under a National government who has passed 'Stay in jail until you rot, you bastards' legislation.

Pull your bloody fingers out!

More effort needed over Kiwi kids in poverty

"A national effort is needed to lift up the roughly one-fifth of New Zealand children living in poverty, Barnados NZ said ahead of World Day for the Eradication of Poverty tomorrow.

The majority of poor people in New Zealand were children, with 230,000 or 22 per cent living in poverty, Barnados chief executive Murray Edridge said..."

Yes, more effort is needed.

By their bloody parents!

Interesting Times

The courts can put on suppression orders, but you can't stop the grapevine- especially in a small town.

More so when it involves a particularly nasty murder. The second one here in recent times.

The locals are NOT HAPPY that two of those arrested are out on bail!

'Youth' be damned. They should be remanded in custody.

A man is dead...

Now we know why they brought a busted railway!

Maori Party co-leader Tariana Turia wants the dole to be scrapped and replaced with government-subsidised jobs...

Mrs Turia said she wanted the next government to return to subsidised "make-work" schemes where people get a community job and are paid a government wage.

"What we need is the government to make work, to get our people back into a strong work ethic."

So there we go! A return to the days of snailways, Post Office, Ministry of Works and the horrendous featherbedding, pillaging and general incompetence that used to occur. Was Cullen in cahoots with the Maori party, when he brought his busted Thomas the Tank Engine set?

I offer another solution:

All the rubbish of NZ is delivered to a couple of sites. The long-term unemployed are sent to camps there to recycle this rubbish. They receive minimum wage once they make their quotas for recovered recyclables.

How Green is that!

Sorry- your reality cheque just bounced!

The latest election bribe was always doomed to failure.

Look at the target market- they either:

• Already vote Liarbore or Green

• Have grown up already and wouldn't give Liarbore or the Greens the steam of their piss.

The only ones left are swinging voters on decent incomes who want somebody else to pay for their brat's education. Heaven forbid their offspring should have to study AND work part-time.

Update:
Whaleoil has a Stuff poll that confirms this.

Big deal, so what?

"The final printed electoral roll has 200,000 people missing from it with 89,000 of those aged between 18 and 24 years, Electoral Enrolment Centre manager Murray Wicks said today..."

I have one word to say:

GOOD!

Space cadet newsflash!

The aliens are coming!

Hmmm- every day I'm meeting people who I'm sure come from a place where the sky is a different colour...

They would be right...

The parents of the victim would be right!

"...Mr Irons also said he was happy the arrests were made but was concerned that, given two of the alleged attackers ages, they might get off too lightly.

"I'm pleased they got someone & but those little bastards will get off with nothing..."

The bastards (which in all probability is an accurate description) arrested are aged 15, 17 and 25. One will get the wet bus ticket, another a holiday in the Youth unit, playing with taxpayer funded playstations and the older scrote will get a hopelessly inadequate sentence in what passes for a prison in NZ.

The victim survived, against the odds but the outlook for the future is not good. That won't count for much in the sentencing. As they failed to kill him, despite clear intent otherwise- it will out out with the wet bus ticket.

Going by local talk, this looks to be a random attack, these shitheads were apparently 'out to beat someone up'

Are these the sort of people who deserve another chance? I'm betting they are no strangers to the courts.

Think about the various law & order policies before you vote next month.

"...However, Alcohol Advisory Council chief executive Gerard Vaughan said the law should be changed to allow police to let people lie when taking part in the operations. It was important for stings to be realistic and under-18s regularly lied about their real ages when trying to buy booze..."

Bullshit!

It is NEVER right to lie in a court of law- or in any time especially in a part of the legal process!

Would it be right because a cop lies on a speeding charge 'because it was in the public interest'?

Absolutely not- even when the PM is in the car!- ESPECIALLY when she is in the car!

TO try and justify LYING is CORRUPTION!- nothing less.

That lady deserves a DB!

It's a shame she didn't fillet the scumbag, but with what passes for justice in NZ, they would be throwing all the resources of the SState against her!

Be prepared

Aftershock was well worth a watch, as was the follow-up program yesterday.

There is nowhere in NZ that is not at risk from being flattened by an earthquake. You get that living on a plate boundary!

Personally, my family is very well set up for a major event. Based on information I have got from involvement with several agencies, I geared up for three weeks plus- not three days. That estimate is pure optimism in the case of a major earthquake.

Certainly, those of us living in small rural towns would most likely be fending for ourselves as the bulk of outside resources are poured into the major cities. Unlike the townies we saw on tv, we have things like firewood supplies, experience at living outdoors and a bit of foraging is a way of life. Try potting a few rabbits for dinner in downtown Wellington!

Living in NZ, it's impossible to plead ignorance, should you be caught for your pants down in a disaster. You won't find any sympathy around here!

But I'm well enough set up to provide a feed for somebody who has no food.

Once they have payed their way splitting firewood, hauling water or digging a new dunny!

TANSTAAFL!

No sympathy

"An occupant of a Toyota Hilux, which police say was stolen, has been rushed to hospital and will undergo surgery in an attempt to save the person's fingers after the vehicle rolled..."

The only surgery a thief should be getting is a cheap amputation.

Save the hospital budget for somebody who deserves it. The best this idiot deserves is have a medical student have a go at doing an amputation.

This lot are A START! A more extensive list can be found here.

I would like to hear a few more piggies squealing come November!

The elimination of the lot above should help John Boy cut our taxes and stimulate the economy.

Lotto dreams can have a downside

"It sounds like a dream come true - enough money to buy that mansion, that flash car, that around-the-world trip, with enough left over to put you in the lap of luxury for the rest of your life.

But though a $24 million Lotto payout sounds good, the sudden influx of cash can turn reality into a nightmare and becoming a millionaire overnight can leave winners disgruntled, a psychologist says..."

I'm willing to take that chance!

"...Lotteries spokeswoman Karen Jones said yesterday that a lot of people did not understand the planning required, long after the winning numbers have been circled. "With large sums of money comes large amounts of responsibility," she said..."

Great responsibility??? I thought with large sums of money came hot bitches!
I think she may have watched X-Men once too often!

Sign of the times

I have noticed something regarding election hoardings. (at least locally)

School holidays

Shouldn't have them! At least not as frequently as they do.

Let the little brats learn what's coming up later in life- they can have four weeks at Christmas and stat days.

Whinging bloody teachers need to learn what a year's work is all about too!

Hell, in place of the continual breaks they have now, the kids could have a 'sports week' where there is no classwork, just physical activity.

Every holiday we have a spate of vandalism about town. Today it was half the windows at a swimming pool smashed out and the other pool broken into, along with a whole lot of senseless damage to the parks & gardens.

A sort of PD for little shits that like to bust stuff up is one idea of mine. PD that involves the separating and sorting of recyclables at the local dump. Dirty and less than pleasant work, outside in the weather.

Holidays sorting beer bottles by colour might discourage them from breaking them on the road!

One of lifes questions

Why is it that as soon as you you attach yourself to an MP3 player- somebody decided that now is a great time to talk to you?

NOBODY interrupts 'The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald'!

Cactus Kate calls it right again!

Cactus Kate was right about Masterton!*

"...Annual New Zealand Police statistics published yesterday, show that in the 2007/2008 year to June Wairarapa had 1043 recorded crimes for every 10,000 people followed closely by Lower Hutt at 1041. Kapiti-Mana had the least at 819..."

I'm sure she won't be visiting Lower Hutt any time soon either!

What can you stay about a town that about 25% of Rimutaka Prison calls Home?

I lay much of the blame on Trust House for providing cheap housing for the undeserving- they brought up when most of the state houses were flicked off.

It's what I call 'Feeding Pigeons'

You feed the friggin' things- they breed like crazy and then they and their offspring flap about crapping all over you.

DON'T FEED THE PIGEONS!

* in no way does this apply to the outlying parts of the Wairarapa, especially Morrisville and Featherston

Vigilantes

I have seen the term 'Vigilante' thrown about quite a bit of late.

Let's try to get this right.

You are NOT a vigilante when you shoot the scumbag trying to rob your shop.

You ARE a vigilante when, finding out he got home detention for robbing your shop, you and a few lads go around and do a Black & Decker arthroscopy on his knees.

Now journalists- the dictionary is the big heavy book currently being a a doorstop.

More bloody laws!

"Gangs should be viewed as the equivalent of terrorists, South Australia's Premier Mike Rann said in Auckland today.

The Government is considering legislation to ban criminal gangs in the face of a growing methamphetamine trade and gang activity..."

Sounds tempting and I actually agree with the Terrorist label applied to gangs, having had to deal with this subhuman trash on a daily basis.

However, I'm skeptical when this comes up close to an election. It sounds like a typical 'Tough on Crime' bit of posturing with no real intent to follow through.

There are plenty of laws on the books for dealing with gangs. These should be applied at every opportunity- and the police should be resourced to do so. They need a hard core in-your- face branch who specialize in stamping hard on recidivist offenders. These offenders should expect to be picked up every time they fart in public!

Now I make a point of saying 'recidivist offenders' not' gangs'.

I don't trust the curent government to define a gang. I suspect that means every group other than the labor party to them...

What does it take to get this dirtbag back in jail!

"Convicted killer Bailey Junior Kurariki has been back in court again.

Kurariki appeared in Manukau District Court on Friday, after his arrest for alleged breach of parole, the Herald on Sunday reported today..."

What does this shit-head have to do to get recalled- kill somebody?

Oh- riiiiiiight...

Nail his arse to the wall!

"...A young Auckland man is facing up to 14 years in prison for allegedly shining a high-powered laser pointer at the police helicopter Eagle - which promptly hunted him down..."

They won't though- some limp-dick judge will give him a slap on the hand with a soggy bus ticket. It's not so serious when you are safely on an over-padded chair behind the bench and it's not your fat arse spiraling in!

Then a law will be passed banning lasers...

Corruption

Cactus Kate writes an excellent piece on this issue.

While I haven't found enough proof to be more specific, I have seen some mighty dodgy stuff over the years, especially in local politics.

Incompetent consultants hired after a history of cost over-runs and shoddy work. Preferential treatment given to contractors. Council's own tendering processes over-ridden. Work not put out to tender- the list goes on and on.

A hell of a lot of smoke for a non-existent fire.

Back when I was in the army, we spent a lot of time and effort trialling equipment. Our results were inevitably ignored and other equipment was purchased. What exactly was the point of evaluating it? Could it be that the stuff they brought was assembled at great expense in a marginal electorate?

It probably is not as bad as some parts of the world where graft is just a fact of life and part of everyday business. That's no reason to start thinking WE are squeaky clean.

Sunday Funnies

One of my readers sent this in:


The seven dwarfs always left to go work in the mine early each morning.

As always, Snow White stayed home doing her domestic chores.

As lunchtime approached, she would prepare their lunch and carry it to the
mine.

One day as she arrived at the mine with the lunch, she saw that there had
been a terrible cave-in.

Tearfully, and fearing the worst, Snow White began calling out, hoping
against hope that the dwarfs had somehow survived.

'Hello!...Hello!' she shouted. 'Can anyone hear me? Hello!'

For a long while, there was no answer. Losing hope, Snow White again
shouted, 'Hello! Is anyone down there?'

Just as she was about to give up all hope, she heard a faint voice from deep
within the mine, singing,'Vote for  Winston Peters - Vote for Winston Peters

Snow White fell to her knees and prayed, 'Oh, thank you, God! At least Dopey
is still alive.

Another bullshit new law called for.

"People drunk in public should be fined as part of a crackdown on binge-drinking, police and the hospitality industry say.

Hospitality Association chief executive Bruce Robertson said it was unfair that pubs could lose their liquor licences and have staff fined for serving drunk patrons while there was no penalty for people drinking to excess.

"I would like to see people fined for being drunk in public. It is now socially unacceptable to drink and drive - we need to make it socially unacceptable to be intoxicated in public..."

Fuck off back to under your rock, you prat! Can you not see you are being a total hypocrite here?

The problem is not being drunk in public- it's being offensive and disorderly and there are existing charges to cover this. Pissing and puking on doorways, fighting and being destructive or abusive- these are acts that should land you in the local drunk tank.

A spartan concete cell made for ease of cleaning with a fire hose. Here you enjoy the company of the other disorderly inebriates. Depending on your actions previous, you may be staying on to talk to the judge on Monday.

It's your right to get pissed to beat the band.

It's your responsibility to make sure this doesn't impinge on the rights of others.

Stress and Tension

I have a better idea.

Pound the head of the fucker that is causing the stress in the circle until it turns completely red!

Especially when the turd responsible is a third-rate rimjaw so-called council engineer. What is it with councils- especially small ones- that attracts these pathetic losers in the game of life? The sort of livestock molesters that would wear grey shoes if you could still buy them!

The retards around these parts couldn't design a kindergarten playground without the project going totally tits-up!

Idiots one and all!

Our Banana Republic

One it's the climate, the other- an excess of fertilizer...

Primate Threat Displays

"...Flaxmere College pupil Rachel Walker said the fight, which attracted an estimated 200 young people, had been pre-arranged between pupils from her school and Hastings Boys High School at Flaxmere skate bowl on Tuesday.

Speaking at the the scene of the brawl yesterday, she was matter of fact about the reason for the confrontation. "It's basically girls, territory, colours and gangs."

Flaxmere College had the Bloods and Hastings Boys were Crips, she said..."

More tribalism wankery. Tribalism (aka anti-individualism) is the curse of this country- indeed the planet!

In my day fighting was a one-on-one over some dispute, real or perceived between the two parties. As often as not the two parties got over it and put it behind them.

These morons don't even have the imagination to come up with their own gangs- they have to ape the crap seen on video nasties. Going by the lack of deceased knuckle-draggers, they can't even get that aspect right.

All this was was simply a primate threat display, as seen on Discovery and National Geographic. A pack of twits acting up to a large audience egging them on.


"...Rachel said the trouble was that the district was too small. "All you can do is steal, rob, drink and smoke to fill in the time..."

Cretin- if you believe that load of nihilistic bollocks you are indeed doomed to the fate you have decided on!

Serious Roadkill

Something you don't see every day!

Dumbass dog owners

"A seven-year-old Hastings boy has undergone surgery after being mauled by his mother's pitbull terrier cross dog.

Police said the boy suffered severe lacerations and a large chunk was torn from his right arm..."

I'm more than convinced that the sort of idiots that own these bloody dogs are incapable of figuring out that they are NOT pets. I think they they are as much in need of neutering as their mutts.

It's not like this is an isolated incident and I wonder how many happen that don't reach the news.

And as for the new laws regarding these animals, micro-chipping and so on- what a waste of time,effort and our money. As we said it would be.

Every time there is an attack, there are a few crocodile tears shed, the dog gets a bullet and WE via ACC pick up the tab for the victim's treatment (or burial)

The dog owners are in the same moral postition as a person leaving a loaded firearm in easy reach of children. They should recieve the same sort of penalty that the firearm owner would recieve if little Johnny found the shotgun and shot his sister...

That's right- block my blog!

Looking through my visitor history, I see that I have had no recent visitors from government departments. This tends to support the post at No Minister that we are blocked by government servers.

GOOD.

That is how it should be. The workplace is not the time for goldbricking downloading porn, selling office supplies on Trade Me, reading blogs, newspapers or looking at teenage nymphettes Bebo sites.

BUT- is the (Double)Standard and suchlike considered time-wasters or 'important messages to all NZ'rs'?

As they used to say on Eurotrash- place bets now!

Yes, I believe in Faries!

Time to clean up the ninth floor!

It's worse than that- he's brain-dead, Jim!

As the party hoardings spring up- like dog turds on a freshly hosed footpath, one wonders why they are needed. Surely voters already know all what parties are out there and what they stand for! [Insert Tui ad here]

Are the swinging voters actually swayed by an airbrushed photo and a slogan? (apparently yes)

Now I see the importance of colour- in particular red, blue and green. It necessarily follows that if they are swayed by a photo that may or may not resemble anyone, that they are so frickin' thick that they need a colour to identify to!

As is done in these third world countries where they tick the logo- democracy for dummies taken to the extreme.

To MY way of thinking, the voting papers should have a (short) multiple choice section where the voter has to correctly identify, say, five main party policies or principles of the mob that they are voting for.

A wrong answer and your vote is binned.

After all, if you don't know WHY you are voting you shouldn't be bloody well allowed to!

Go back to your frickin' Playstation and leave voting to the big folks!

Trying to avoid the return to surfdom

We are not the only place in the world where the main political parties are taking on a certain sameness in policies, erosion of rights, denial of responsibilities and a love affair with new laws and regulations.

Visit the UK blogs and get a look at where another term or two of liarbore could easily take us- scary stuff!!

I found this article over at The Devil's Kitchen and found a familiar theme:

"The modern Conservative Party is in fact Blair’s party resurrected. They are exactly the same. They will pose and posture and do nothing to alleviate the restrictions and controls imposed on us all by the Brown Gorgon, and the Tiny Blur before him. Things will not stay the same when the Tories take over. They will get worse. The Left know this, which is why their opposition to the Tories is nothing more than a few vague insults. The Left are happy to let the New Blair come back.

There is no longer a Conservative party in this country. There are no longer any discernible differences between the three main parties at all. They all want to add more laws, more control, more power to their unelected thugs.

I was going to end this with ‘No, I won’t vote Tory’ but there’s no need.

There is no Conservative party. Not any more.

All we have at the next election is a choice of which EU commissioner is going to run this island. Our only choice is the face of the man who implements the EU state laws.

The only way out is NO VOTES for any of these parties. Vote for a minor party. Any one, you choose. You must vote, and you must vote for anyone on that ticket other than these three.

If any of them get back in, the jackboots will be marching down your street before Election Night Special is over.

Get them out. All of them. There is no other hope for the UK now."


I have been playing the same tune. Get away from the current two horse race.

But of course this won't happen- that would be too much for the sheeple to take on. I can sympathize with them wanting liarbore out reinforcing their way of entrenched 'thinking'.

We are going to have a change of faces, but I suspect the song will remain much the same.

I'm waiting for a commitment to bin liarbore's legislative cluster-fucks, but won't be holding my breath. The only ones promising this are Libertarianz.


Meanwhile, Over at New Zeal, Trevor Loudon has article explaining why a vote for Act is not a waste of time.

You chose to live on a friggin' island

"Waiheke commuters will demand "fairer fares" from ferry operator Fullers and Auckland Regional Council at a public meeting at Ostend at 2pm tomorrow afternoon..."

You chose to live on a trendy island. Suck it up.

No- Tasers SHOULD be used in prisons

Tasers could be used in prisons

"The Government is considering policy changes that would allow police to use tasers in prisons, but arming prison guards with the stun guns is unlikely, Corrections Minister Phil Goff says.

This week two officers were badly beaten by five inmates at Rimutaka Prison. The men were discharged from hospital and are recovering at home.

The assaults sparked calls for prison officers to be armed.

Damned right.

The Corrections Department is already undertaking a project to assess what extra protection staff need. One option under consideration is armed response teams.

Adequate staffing would be also be useful. As would be running the High-Medium units like high security units with the shit-heads locked down most of the day and only allowed to exercise a couple at a time. Not half a frickin' wing at a time!

But a spokesman for Mr Goff today said any decisions around arming prison officers had to take into account the possibility guards' weapons could be used against them.

You stupid fuck- we- when I was in that job- wanted pepper spray, spring batons and tasers or stunners- Non-lethal gear because us lowbrow types at the sharp end figured that out all by ourselves!

We wanted firearms nearby and readily available- not needing to go through four layers of bureaucracy before getting permission to use them. Even the soft-cock Swedes go armed when transporting crims!

For that reason it was unlikely guards would be armed with tasers...

IDIOTS! this is exactly what Tasers are made for! Give me a Tasering over a whack with a steel bar anyday!

There is Schnauzer in the Schnitzel !

Save the the planet and eat a mutt!

They have a carbon footprint the size of a Toyota Corolla and are considerably juicier!

I had no trouble finding recipes for dog- there were none for small Toyota's.

Tommorow we will look at vegetarian cooking.

First- shoot a vegetarian...

An idea...

Over at Old Holborn's blog, he talks of a plan to take a stroll on November 5th. He will be recognised by being dressed as above.

I thought that it might be fun to wear the same outfit, but a few days later on the 8th.

Now to find such an ensemble!

More dirt on John Key

If you look REALLY HARD you will clearly see John Key on the grassy knoll. Or it could be Sarah Palin- if you want it to be!

Not everyone gets a prize

Fact- Dumb parents breed dumb kids.

It doesn't matter how much funding you pour into these places. When you have stupid, unmotivated people in the loop- failure is inevitable.

Somebody has to clean the public crappers.

Run Forest, run!

Run for your worthless life- looks like you won't be getting many votes there!

Justice in China

I seldom have anything to say in favour of what passes for justice on China.

But I hope that those responsible for what is nothing less than mass-poisoning find themselves taking part in the Involuntary Organ Donor's Program!

Cost-cutting

Every friggin' prison cell should have a stout hook, a convenient noose and a stool in it.

So baby-murdering pieces of excrement should have every opportunity do do the right thing and stop stealing our oxygen!

More State Informers coming

"In what is believed to be a world-first, Child, Youth and Family and the SPCA will join forces this week to combat abuse in New Zealand.

Tomorrow, the two groups will sign an agreement for the SPCA to report signs of child abuse when inspecting or taking animals from homes and, in return, CYF social workers to report neglected or abused animals they spot while working with families..."

Does anyone else find this disturbing?

You are reading my blog, so I will assume you do.

It could be argued that it would be hard to do the job worse than CYF, but that is not the point. Where does this stop?

Undercover door-knockers?

Meter readers looking for kids getting a clip around the ears?

Black vans cruising the street, using parabolic microphones to pick up the sound of a slap?

SPCA volunteers- let me tell you where this will lead YOU. On a direct path to a bit of biffo when you go to pick up a sick cat and may have seen something. Threats to yourself, your property and families.

Is that what you signed on for?

It's what your masters have volunteered you for.

Every knee shall bend...

"Islamic law has been officially adopted in Britain, with sharia courts given powers to rule on Muslim civil cases.

The government has quietly sanctioned the powers for sharia judges to rule on cases ranging from divorce and financial disputes to those involving domestic violence..."

You have really screwed the pooch now!

If you can get out of the UK- run-don't walk. Before you need an exit visa and while anyone out there will have you. Your country is now headed for third-world status and YOU will be a second or third-class subject in your own land.

How long before they are ruling over you in, say, a blasphemy case?

OR

Will this be the start of the rise of the BNP?

I can see them picking up a fair bit of support from this travesty. Think back to the 1930's and another people that had lost their way. Along came a wolf in politicians clothing who said- and did- many things that a desperate and despondent people wanted to hear.

And if it were me choosing between the silver-tonged wolf and the wannabe slavemasters- I know who I would choose.

Old England is in such a state that it's going to take the political equivalent of chemotherapy and radical surgery to keep it alive. Pity they couldn't swallow Enoch Powell's pill- now they must pay the price.

Now do they have the will to live...

Yay Capitalism!

Day by Day is safe!

Global Warming

Predictions about the weather in 50 years time, by people who can't tell you if it will rain on Friday...

Tell the WHOLE bloody story for once!

"A man jailed for life for killing and raping a teenager 19 years ago has been denied parole.

Paul Joseph Dally kidnapped Karla Cardno, 13, in Lower Hutt on May 26, 1989.

He raped and tortured her in his home, then drove her to the Pencarrow coast, near Eastbourne, bludgeoned her with a piece of driftwood and buried her in the sand..."

Tell it as it happened FFS!

"...The brutal murder of Karla Cardno had left mental scars.

Snatched off her bike on her way home from the shops, the 13-year-old was tortured, raped and abused by Dally for 22 hours before he buried her alive in a shallow grave on the Pencarrow coast..."

This piece of unspeakable excrement buried her ALIVE. This is an important fact when the story is about how this is the ninth time his parole has been declined.

As it should be until his dying day!

The facts of this heinous act should never be forgotten.

Another reason why the MSM cannot be trusted- softening the details of this atrocity!

No surrender!

Much as I may play with the idea, I probably won't be leaving for Australia (never say never!)

I believe it's too early to give up on NZ and there is no certainty that the rot won't set in over the ditch. I see many indications that they are also letting the inmates run the asylum. They have the same problems with scumbag 'refugees' and the dickwad MSM refusing to report facts on the criminal activities of their 'guests'

This country is worth fighting for and that means staying- even if I could (easily) double my income over there.

I happen to like it where I am, which is why I are unapologetic about being outspoken regarding those who would destroy this great country and people.

I can't bring myself to condemn those who have jumped ship, but we need to stand our ground and say 'screw you' to the haters and wreckers. We built this place and can knock these wankers on their collectivist arses when we discover we have a backbone and a will and reason to fight.

And I mean FIGHT. No Mr Nice Guy- no friggin' quarter!

Fight by the only real rules- to friggin' destroy the enemy.

For they will destroy you. they are doing so. Their PC mind-fucking machine grinds slowly but it grinds thoroughly.

Don't let the bastards grind you down!

It must be spring

A weekend off, the sun is shining- so much so I have had to move out of it- and I have four demijohns of fresh moonshine sitting in the garage.

Got out for a spot of hunting (which is more of sitting under a tree smoking a pipe, these days) and now have the rabbits in a casserole dish with onions, herbs & the second-cheapest wine in the supermarket.

The wife & kids are out at some kiddie birthday party leaving me to down a few cold ones.

I have unrestricted access to the Sky remote and life is good!

TTFN!

And from the other side...

When an opponent declares, "I will not come over to your side," I calmly say, "Your child belongs to us already... What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community."

"Our teachers were absolute tyrants. They had no sympathy with youth; their one object was to stuff our brains and turn us into erudite apes like themselves. If any pupil showed the slightest trace of originality, they persecuted him relentlessly, and the only model pupils whom I have ever got to know have all been failures in after-life."

"What luck for rulers, that men do not think."

"Demoralize the enemy from within by surprise, terror, sabotage, assassination. This is the war of the future."

"The broad masses of a population are more amenable to the appeal of rhetoric than to any other force."

"The art of leadership. . . consists in consolidating the attention of the people against a single adversary and taking care that nothing will split up that attention. . . . The leader of genius must have the ability to make different opponents appear as if they belonged to one category."

Can it be coincidence that certain members of our ruling class studied history?

Sunday Funnies

John, the farmer, was in the fertilized egg business. He had several
hundred young layers (hens), called 'pullets', and ten roosters, whose job
it was to fertilize the eggs.

The farmer kept records and any rooster that didn't perform went into the
soup pot and was replaced. That took an awful lot of his time, so he bought
a set of tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a
different tone so John could tell from a distance, which rooster was
performing. Now he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report
simply by listening to the bells.

The farmer's favorite rooster was old Butch, a very fine specimen he was,
too. But on this particular morning John noticed old Butch's bell hadn't
rung at all! John went to investigate. The other roosters were chasing
pullets, bells-a-ringing. The pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would
run for cover.

But to Farmer John's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it
couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the
next one. John was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the Renfrew
County Fair and he became an overnight sensation among the judges.

The result...The judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Piece Prize
but they awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well.

Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making: who else but a
politician could figure out how to win two of the most highly coveted awards
on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the populace and screwing them
when they weren't paying attention.

Vote carefully this year...the bells are not always audible!

The green way

I believe that I now understand the greens master plan.

1- Pass so many laws that everybody will be involved in some sort of criminal act.

2- Imprison the entire population. (except, of course, the party faithful)

Now you are better enabled to dictate every aspect of their lives!

Well- it's no less loony that most of the crap they propagate!

One down, several thousand to go

"A Christchurch woman slammed the prison system as "absolutely disgraceful" after her brother died of pneumonia despite pleas for extra clothing and bedding..."

There is this problem in prisons, in that inmates have this tendency to 'Cry Wolf'. They are always belly-aching about the cold, the heat, the food, the lack of SkyTV, yada, yada, yada...

But there are two visits each day by a nurse, who goes though the wing at a set time, to give medication to the undeserving and arrange referrals for medical treatment.

Tried getting medical help on your doorstep in a small NZ town lately?

The "slow machinations" of the prison system are simply the norm for any government agency, you know- everything is confirmed in writing in triplicate, sent in, sent back, queried, lost, found, subjected to the public inquiry, lost again, and finally buried in soft peat for three months and recycled as firelighters.

Moral of the story:

Stay out of friggin' jail!

Another dumb-arse idea from the left

"Women in prison will be able to keep their babies with them for two years under a law change passed by Parliament yesterday.

Under current law the limit is six months.

The change will be introduced through an Order in Council when the three women's prisons have constructed new facilities for inmate mothers.

Babies will be able to stay in jail with their mothers until they are two years old.

The bill was drafted by Green Party MP Sue Bradford and Parliament's law and order select committee gave it the green light in November last year..."

Sue, you are a frickin' moron!

Who in their right mind would consider a prison as any sort of fit place for babies?It's not about the buildings or decor, but about living amongst human refuse.

Have you thought about what will happen at two years when the babies are taken away? I doubt it. The break is a hell of a lot easier at six months- or at birth (when it should happen)

Easier especially for the child, who is the only one who's feeling should be considered here.

I know the prison staff at the coal-face are none too impressed. It's not hard to imaging the sort of scenarios that will come about. These inmate scum are the sorts who WILL (have) use a baby as a shield or hostage. And that's their OWN offspring I'm talking about- not somebody else's!

In Sue Bradford's fantasy world, these are all misunderstood and repressed victims who need love, cuddles and taxpayer-funding.

Wrong.

They are EVIL people...

Uncle Hulen finally set retirement date

The news is a few minutes away.

Let's see if the date I was leaked is the one (8th November)

By YOUR command!

Number Six- Just one of many reasons I have a hard-on for the new Battlestar Galactica...

(Lt. Thrace is really my kinda gal!)

Justice- when- where?

Another good man dead, killed by the shit of our country.

And why is he dead, and another officer injured?

Because, sort of like the rest of us, they are not allowed to take all practical measures to defend themselves.

Why the hell would you NOT be carrying a sidearm when carrying out a covert operation in a shithole like South Auckland. As for the back up- what friggin' backup?

Now there has been the usual mewling about 'the government needs to do something and 'how we as a community are responsible'. I normally call 'BULLSHIT' on the second point, but there is a case to answer here.

The government- this and the previous one, to a lesser degree, have constantly failed to give the police the tools they need OR the far tougher treatment of real crims that our citizens have demanded.

BUT!

Who voted these assholes in? YOU are the ones who need to take responsibility for these sorts of occurrences.

YOU the limp dicks that vote in limp dicks to rule us!

YOU that wouldn't vote for parties that stand for REAL law and order.

YOU are a part of the problem. You can be part of the solution- if you got a pair!

Throw the switch Igor!

And we are still here!

Although Winston Peters is blaming the emergence of a microscopic black hole for the disappearance of his remaining credibility, it has been pointed out that, like the Higgs Boson- it has not yet been proven to exist.

Theoretically or otherwise...

Why wait that long?

"Exemptions that allow some 15-year-olds to leave school early would be axed under a proposed law change by the Government..."

Hell, why make them stick around whilst costing us money?

There are a heap of kids not worth educating past age 12. How much education do you need to hose out a milking shed or fill the shelves at the red shed?

Or to become a life support system for a set of genitalia?

Let them go- but no benefits, no minimum wage!

Save the resources for kids who actually want a future.

Good friggin riddance!

"North Korean leader Kim Jong-il has collapsed and is ill, a South Korean government official was quoted as saying, raising the possiblity of power shift in the world's first communist dynasty..."

Nothing minor, I hope!

This worthless piece of refuse is way up on My 'Better Dead' list. Feckin' oxygen thief!

Die vermin, die!

I'm getting really pissed off with this

Bloody end of the planet, mankind is doomed, end of civilization bullshit and I'm going to open up a can of whoop-ass on the next green-leaning asshole that mentions man-made global frickin' warning to me!

I just spent some time assuring a six year old child that the red sunset outside was NOT the end of the world coming.

It sounded a bit amusing at first, then I realized that kids all over the place are probably getting real upset by this nonsense- being continually bombarded with this alarmist crap!

I do not like subhumans who cause small children to live in fear!

Be warned...

News flash- brain-dead twat impersonates journalist

Here:

Come on- is this the best slur you can do?

The typical WOFTAM NZ jouno wouldn't be able to get a job highlighting the morning papers for Governor Palin.

Remembering that in the US a governor has more people under her than a PM in NZ.

And the biggest name reporters here would be working for the equivilent of an Alaskan city, at best...

Got another one

A 3/4 size replica, this .22 should be just the right size for the young un's and the 'trouble & strife'

Only one more slot left, so 'er indoors had better hurry up & get her 'B'!

Bloody spring!

Next weekend it's distilling and the start of re-filling the woodshed.

Leftie Wet Dreams

"Sarah LOUISE Palin?"

Home for the Unpleasant

White island- what a great spot for a maximum security prison!

Here is the deal- lifers mine sulfur which is exchanged for potatoes and cabbages. I think we still have enough of a Navy to keep them on the island and others off.

So occasionally the island goes critical and wipes everybody out. Big deal, so what...

Halfway houses

"The Parole Board chairman is urging halfway houses for sex offenders and inmates freed from long prison terms..."

I agree.

The Auckland Islands are about halfway to Antarctica.

No- they really are sheep!

There is something quite depressing about politics in New Zealand- and most other places at that.

The most depressing part is where the sheeple continue to mindlessly vote for the two main parties, regardless of how badly they have been shafted by the party they support! Note how many use the 'It was good enough for our fathers- and our fathers fathers' line. Heaven forbid they ever have an original thought.

At least these ones take a side, for whatever flawed reason. They will stick to their party even if their Dear Leader was found to smoke crack, strangle babies, hunt dolphins and wear underwear made of live kittens sewn together.

Then we have the cretins who flip-flop, not knowing whether they are Aurthur or Martha. These are the fucktards that the parties pander too- no wonder electioneering is FUBAR! They are called 'swinging voters' and they should be- by the neck until they don't do it anymore!

Can't you get out of the Liarbour/National Socialist box?

Probably couldn't get out of a cat's litterbox.


Then there are the politicans- a sad collection of Narcissists, Psychopaths, Sycophants, Tit-Suckers, Axe-grinders and the Self-Serving Onanists. I can never figure out why you need more than a twenty to run a county the size of NZ. Elsewhere in the world, our PM would be a mayor.

To me- anyone who makes a carreer out of slithering up the political ladder is the last person that should be there. The sort of person needed is one who a proven capable achiever who is tapped on the shoulder and- probably a bit reluctantly STEPS UP TO THE CHALLENGE TO SERVE.

The idea that everyone gets a vote- who came up with THAT feed of arse! You SHOULD have a stake in the game before you get a vote. Some criteria need to be present- one I like is to have been paid more tax than you have recieved in Welfare For Families, benefits, student payments etc. For the period since the last election. Be a socialist when you are young, like Churchill said- but you have to be a net producer to get a say!

Democracy need a few conditions set- then it might work!

When in Martinborough...

Martinborough- Weekend retreat to the trendy-wendies of wanker Wellington!

Stick to the wine.

The town water supply is a bore just a few meters from this river.

And the water is totally untreated.

Mysteries of the Universe

Can you split a greenie's brain?

This supercollider looks like the place to try!

What harm could it do?- that couldn't be fixed with a little carbon remover, anyway...

They just don't get it...

Most folks can't figure out the point of armed forces- well armed or moderately pathetic.

That is because the main reason for having them is brushed under the carpet.

Why do we have armed forces?

THE MAIN REASON is to keep the powers that be- the powers that be!

Now that doesn't take a lot. NZ's at their worst are up to that. Dealing to an armed insurrection.

The police are not, as they have the Blackadder belief that under no circumstances should the other side have firearms and won't go for anything without a 10-1 advantage!

A couple of companies of infantry suffice to beat the crap out of any of the possible NZ wannabees.

Our rulers fear that too strong an Army and they may take the Fiji option.

One that looks better all the time...

Blogging lite

Out for the next three nights so it will be a bit quiet here.

Bloody on-call week...
