I’ve been meaning to catch up on Liz Gordon’s latest column. For those that don’t know, Liz Gordon is one of the better comedians of the left, and has a regular column in The Press which is a pretty funny read.
Her latest makes the point that giving money to private schools is merely funding privilege. [...]

This really deserves a decent essay but I haven’t time.
Here’s the deal. “Swords into Ploughshares” is a pretty obvious phrase. Turn war into peace.
So how do you do that?
Well, one way I can think of is having better information about those you’d otherwise be fighting. For example: if you can have good intelligence on a [...]

Amen to that.
‘Disrespected’
This word/term gives me the shits!
MY definition “Exclamation given by a low class piece of trash when their over-inflated sense of self-worth is offended”
I’m reminded of the episode of “Monster Garage” where Jessie points out the responses to the question “do you know what you’re doing” is usually the opposite of the response.
This [...]

Atheism shows once again how intellectual it is.
Matt Flannagan debates wipes the floor with Not PC. It seems that some supporters didn’t get the memo about being the ones supporting reasoned debate.
Ironically when I broached some of these issues one of PC’s supporters has stated that people like me are analogous to “communists” and not [...]

It’s a funny thing about students. They claim to have no money, but they certainly don’t act like it. I guess this behavior is consistent with having a lot of learning left to do however. Unfortunately, this is the sort of learning that Section 59 allowed for, and that’s far too late for this lot.

Solid Energy is again taking steps to influtrate the “protest” groups that are trying to disrupt their legal business.
I/S over at No Right Turn believes that this contravenes their requirement of “social responsibility“.
Hm, so tax cuts that might help people are seen as a threat to goverment revenue.
But a threat to government revenue in the [...]

Wow, Liz Gordon is just so entertaining.
Recently, Telecom won the Roger Award for being the worst transnational corporation operating in New Zealand in 2007.
It has been a finalist in each of the 11 years the award has been operating, but has won only once before.
Telecom is a symbol of all that went wrong with the [...]

Lombard is in trouble. I’m surprised it took so long.
You do have to wonder who would invest in a company who’s initials stand for “Lots Of Money But A Real Drongo”.
Seriously.

Heh, the “Don’t Taze Me Bro” guy started a trend.
Now, if you stand up when a conservative is speaking and start abusing, people call out “Taze Him”.
But seriously, people are really getting sick of this childish nonsense. While in the past conservatives have respected liberals butting in like this (to a limited extent) after this [...]

Jordan’s blog is always good for a few laughs these days.
This all fits in well with an agenda that swept around Wellington a couple weeks ago: that National’s planning a “Shock and Awe” agenda of following on the 80s/90s agenda if it wins the election, and then spending two years trying to get everyone forgive [...]

Seems that some of the students in this country might just be starting to regret the blatent free ride they gave the Labour administration. Quoted on WhaleOil:
”Labour not listening democracy is dead“

Kate Sutton… agrees. She believes that the Government should shape up or ship out. “Students are the only section of society who are forced [...]

I’ve been going off libertarianism in recent months. I believe fully in less government involvement in our lives, (and as a Christian believe that I should help others) but the more I listen to Libertarians the more I dislike them.
“Arrogance” is about the best word I can find, along with a strong dose of separatism/purity [...]

I’m sick of the price of cheese. So much so that, as much as I enjoy the stuff, I’m cutting back. At $13/kg it just doesn’t taste as good.
I’m even more sick of dumarses writing to the Herald or calling up the radio or even blogging, complaining that the price of cheese is too high [...]

Goodness, you’ve got to wonder at some people.
The Archbishop of Canterbury is said to be overwhelmed by the “hostility of the response” after his call for parts of Sharia law to be recognised in the UK.
Friends of Dr Rowan Williams say he is in a state of shock and dismayed by the criticism from [...]

Corey Worthington is starting to slowly find out why it’s not a great idea to seek the title of “Australia’s teenager from hell”.
First death threats, then a thumping in a Melbourne shopping mall made famous by the TV comedy show Kath and Kim: life is not all roses for Corey Worthington, Australia’s teenager from hell.
