This so-called “verse” doesn’t even pass the sniff test. It’s not even close to the theology that appears throughout the Bible. It does however, match the theology promoted by liberal environmentalists.
I guess they think that’s enough. It’s not.
(CNSNews.com) - House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is fond of quoting a particular passage of Scripture. The [...]

NRT gets a bit upset.
Last year, the Heartland Institute (a US climate-change denial thinktank) published a list of 500 scientists they say disagree with the central theses of anthropogenic global warming (that the climate is changing and that it’s our fault). Unfortunately, but perhaps as should be expected from an organisation which takes money from [...]

This is good stuff, with one proviso: too often letting things get rough turns into bullying. I’d hate to see this guy’s school held up in a few months as being soft on bullies because they took this attitude too far.
But he makes some good points.
Ross Scrymgeour, head of private Hereworth School, Havelock North, says [...]

There’s an awful lot of bull circulating about the annual Seal hunt conducted in Canada. Reality is, the campaign to ban it was not motivated by care for an animal in danger of going extinct (number were increasing), or by cruelty considerations. It was a PR stunt from start to finish, playing mainly in ignorance [...]

WhaleOil has found a new blog, “Save the Humans“. Looks like a quality piece of electronic opinionationilism. (Yep, I just made that world up :D)
Here are my fairy lights. What do you think? They are happy smiles from the Earth. The Earth is fine.
But this is spooky. About 8:45 some neighbours rang the doorbell and [...]

From Murray (2x “R”s) - heh.
Jack if he had been shot with a rifle he’d be in hospital. At a minimum with a couple of broken ribs.
Your grasp of how vests stop bullets seems to have come from a commando comic.
If we need someone to tell us how we feel about whales we’ll let you [...]

Yesterday, Asher MacDonald was baptised. Maybe one day I will have more to say, but for now I’ll just quote Aria’s blog.
Today we baptised our son and Aria’s brother at church. Of course there were lots of tears, mainly from me and Hamish but lots of misty eyes in the congregation. We remembered Aria’s baptism, [...]

Oh, this is funny.
A Norwegian group have done a study on the carbon emmissions of different types of meat and found that whale is the most carbon netural.
Eat a whale and save the planet, a Norwegian pro-whaling lobby said on Monday of a study showing that harpooning the giant mammals is less damaging to the [...]

Murray has a great post about… well you just have to read it.
“Chemist” But co2 is a dangerous gas that drives global temperatures! We MUST reduce emmisions or DIE!
Right Wing Fascist Bastard: No it doesn’t.
“Chemist” Yes it IS!
RWFB: Mmmm no it isn’t and shouting doesn’t make you right, it just makes you loud and wrong.
“Chemist”: [...]

A lot has been said about Owen Glenn, and the donation he made to the Labour party. But, we are told, his gong was for giving money to the Auckland University Business School.
Well, I happen to know a little about this one.
See, a few years back the government did a survey and found (shock horror) [...]

NRT can really be nasty somtimes.
Something I was meaning to post yesterday, but got distracted from: Listener editor Joanne Black on The Panel [audio, @23:30] the government’s affordable housing and shared equity scheme:
I’m thinking if you own a home there and at the moment its valued at, say, $350,000, then and the government moves [...]

Just watching Wa$ted when an ad for a new Chrysler came on. I’m picking that TV3 are going to have some complaints, given that the car advertised was a V8!
Hm, now that I’ve walked out of the room the wife’s decided that she’d rather watch anything else on TV. Come to think of it, why [...]

This idea is brilliant.
John Howard introduced ‘welfare quarantines’ in the Northern Territory. That means that beneficiaries have half of their welfare income quarantined to a local shop to pay for food, electricity and clothing. Reportedly the scheme has been well-received, by aboriginal mothers especially. Now only half of the previous amount of cash is available [...]

Lets work our way back through this one.
DPF accuses me of misrepresenting him in my latest post on the BRT’s strapped chicken. And looking at it again, he’s right. DPF did not explicitly say that he regarded the BRT’s bogus study as proof positive that we should do nothing about climate change; instead, he simply [...]

WhaleOil pulls out this great quote:
The big question then is, will this actually make things worse? What it really comes down to is how strongly students have responded to the existing bad incentives to borrow. I know I borrowed the maximum I could as most economics students would so I couldn’t borrow anymore. If the [...]

For once, I agree with Brian Rudman.
Mrs King believes the most effective punishment is forcing taggers to clean up their mess in the full glare of the public eye. Hopefully so. But first you have to catch them, prosecute them, call for probation reports and debate whether bad parenting made them do it. All at [...]
