I thought I might start a new series today, partly inspired by Labour’s release of yet another taxpayer-funded pile of nonsense and partly by Pete Hodgson’s series of posts aptly named “Silly Ideas” (Apt because his posts are indeed very silly…). Since Labour and their left-wing blogging friends seem always ready to misinform, I thought [...]

I find it quite depressing to read all the utter drivel from Labour and it’s left wing crony blogs, harping on about how the tax cuts to “rich” people (those earning over 70,000, apparently) are worth more that the tax cuts to the poor. Are these people stupid or something? Of course the cuts for [...]

Apparently, a Green”peace” activist put this up on the Greenpeace site: “The proper channels have failed. It’s time for mass civil disobedience to cut off the financial oxygen from denial and skepticism… “If you’re one of those who have spent their lives undermining progressive climate legislation, bankrolling junk science, fueling spurious debates around false solutions, [...]

I see Bush Derangement Syndrome is still alive and well and continuing to turn thousands of otherwise normal people into drooling idiots. The Herald posts this video claiming to show Bush wiping his hand on Clinton’s shirt after shaking the hand of a Haitian. This has to be the silliest claim I have heard in [...]

In what has to be the most bizarre over-reaction I have heard in a long time, the Herald reports that a 12-year-old girl was arrested for scrawling on her desk. That is: properly arrested in handcuffs and dragged off to the police station and given eight hours of community service as her sentence. Wow. I [...]

The Herald is running this demented campaign at the moment to change the New Zealand flag. Clearly, anyone with a halfway-decent-functioning brain cell would realise that the best time to design a new flag would be if and when we decide to become a republic. Redesigning a flag at the moment is a meaningless exercise [...]

Obama announces. President Barack Obama sent Congress his new budget overnight, a plan that forecasts the government spending a record US$1.66 trillion ($2.37 trillion) more than it takes in through taxes. 1.66 TRILLION deficit in a single year… If you laid every dollar bill end to end you could walk on them through the centre [...]

A medical miracle! Actor James McAvoy expecting first baby Oh. Wait. I think it’s his girlfriend that’s pregnant. As you were… Add a Comment

Yet another child has been attacked by vicious dogs and severely injured. The dogs have been destroyed but the owner, unfortunately remains very much alive and able to own more dogs. Sure, he will be banned from owning dogs, but seeing as he is unlikely to have microchipped or licensed his previous dogs, this will [...]

Hark! What is that strange disembodied twittering that I hear? Is it a ghost? A telephone answering machine? a vague afterthought? Yes! It’s all three ! It’s the Invisible Phil… Once again, Phil abandons invisibility in order to utter an inanity. It’s rather like watching a Klingon Bird of Prey on Star Trek, de-cloaking and [...]
