Ahhh the irony of it all

The dead tree ver­sion of al-Herald has  on page B1 the mas­sive head­line “Sleaze sees Blair’s rat­ings plunge” mean­while over at Stuff we have “Scan­dals not the trick, says Brash”
 
Oh the irony, back in the UK extra­mar­i­tal affairs bring down min­is­ters and lower rat­ings in wid­dle old NZ, min­is­ters bashed kids, bash pro­tes­tors, piss in hotel cor­ri­dors, drive drunk, file false dec­la­ra­tions, rort immi­gra­tion and a Prime Min­is­ter who com­mits forgery and cruises the coun­try­side like an African dic­ta­tor barely reg­is­ters and dents their pop­u­lar­ity not a bit. Oh and don’t for­get they thieved from us to fund their elec­tion campaign.
 
New Zealand needs to get a grip we have a venal and cor­rupt gov­ern­ment that has also seen to it that most of the civil ser­vice and the police are as venal and cor­rupt as them.

Despite Hub­bards promises of reign­ing in rates hikes, remem­ber poor old Mother Hub­bard, The Auck­land City Coun­cil is set to hike rates yet again.
 
This time how­ever, there are many who have had enough , and non more so than on Wai­heke Island where rates are set to rocket up by 55%.
 
One res­i­dent calls this “eco­nomic cleansing”.

In response to Fran O’Sullivans bizarre arti­cle in al-Herald on the week­end Antarc­tic Lemur has cre­ated a new blogsite with all of the Doonegate evi­dence gath­ered so far.
 
One won­ders why blog­gers have to do the MSM’s job these days.

Alis­tair Bell is the new National Party North­ern Region Chairman.
 
He won con­vinc­ingly in the vote 119 votes to Roger Burrill’s 89.

Fran O’Sullivan fights a battle she is going to lose

Comments off
Whaleoil Submitted by : Whaleoil on Apr 29, 2006
Fran O’sullivan has decided to finally show her colours and offer a wimpy excuse as to why she wimped out pub­lish­ing the Doonegate documents.
Bizarrely she accuses fel­low blog­gers Sir Humphrey’s and also Inves­ti­gate of not pro­vid­ing the orig­i­nals. AL at Sir Humphrey’s refutes this as does Investigate.
 
In fact both AL and Wishart go on to slay the silly cow and show up her obvi­ous short­com­ings as a so called journalist.
O’Sullivan has unwit­tingly fallen foul of the new phe­nom­e­non in the media, blogging.
 
She can only answer in a paper at least only once a day, blog­gers on the other hand can pro­vide evi­dence, retorts, responses as many times as a day allows. Blog­ger also have con­trib­u­tors who pro­vide their exper­tise as well. Wit­ness Rather­gate and destroy­ing of Dan Rathers career by bloggers.
 
O’Sullivan may well be on her way down the same path.
 
News­flash Fran!!!…you can’t win this bat­tle, nor will you win the war. Blog­ging is here to stay despite you pathetic plain­tive cries.

Fur­ther to my pre­vi­ous post vot­ing is now under­way at the National Party North­ern Regional Con­fer­ence for the vacant Regional Chair position.

Con­tenders Alisa­tair Bell and Roger Bur­rill have just fin­ished their speeches. Alas­tair Bells speech was much more pro­fes­sional and received far larger applause.

Will blog the results shortly.

Yep thats right….Saleh Jamal, has pledged loy­alty to Osama bin Laden and threat­ened to “chop up” John Howard as Lebanese author­i­ties pre­pare to deport him to Australia.
If I was the Aus­tralian author­i­ties I would bring him back by boat and have him “escape cus­tody” some­where out by the Great Bar­rier Reef.

How come Shadbolt gets charged?

Now don’t get me wrong, I hate Shad­bolts guts (that is another story for when the prick dies or some one else who would be upset if I told it), but surely this qual­i­fies for a “Not in the pub­lic inter­est” case dismissal.
 
I bet if he had been a Labour min­is­ter they would have said the injuries sus­tained in the crash were pun­ish­ment enough.

More on Curtis-villes rail line

Comments off
Whaleoil Submitted by : Whaleoil on Apr 28, 2006
Fur­ther to my ear­lier story of Curtis-cilles new Rail spur to nowhere in particular.
 
Not only is the coun­cil plan­ning on wast­ing  $70 mil­lion to build a 1.8 kilo­me­tre rail spur from Wiri to Manukau but that it is almost $30 mil­lion more than orig­i­nally planned for in 2000.

Manukau mayor Sir Barry Cur­tis claims that the link is an inte­gral part of the rail sys­tem. What planet is Sir Barry on? cer­tainly not Earth. 

Cr Quax accuses the mayor, of “empire build­ing” and lack­ing judge­ment on the issue and one would cer­tianly have to agree with him on that.

Google does it again

Comments off
Whaleoil Submitted by : Whaleoil on Apr 27, 2006

Google rocks and they have done it again, pro­vided some­thing truly use­ful for nothing.

I have not used any other email pro­gram for over two years now and the only thing I missed about Gmail over Out­look was the calendar.

Miss it no more, Google has in Beta their Cal­en­dar which inte­grates with Gmail.

It rocks.

Fea­tures

Cal­en­dar Shar­ing: Set up a cal­en­dar for your com­pany indoor cricket team, and share it with the whole ros­ter. Or share with friends and fam­ily so you can view each other’s sched­ules side by side.

Invi­ta­tions: Cre­ate event invi­ta­tions, send them to friends, and keep track of people’s responses and com­ments, all in one place. Your friends can receive your invi­ta­tion and post responses even if they don’t use Google Cal­en­dar themselves.

Quick Add: Click any­where on your cal­en­dar where an event belongs (or use the Quick Add link), and start typ­ing. Google Cal­en­dar under­stands whole phrases like “Brunch with mom at Java Cafe 11am on Sat­ur­day,” and will pop new events right into your agenda.

Gmail Inte­gra­tion: Add your friend’s Super Bowl party to your cal­en­dar with­out ever leav­ing your Gmail inbox. Gmail now rec­og­nizes events men­tioned in emails.

Search: Find the date of the Bax­ter fam­ily BBQ (you knew it was some­time this sum­mer). Or, search pub­lic cal­en­dars to dis­cover new events you’re inter­ested in and add them to your own calendar.

Mobile Access: Receive event reminders and noti­fi­ca­tions on your mobile phone.

Event Pub­lish­ing: Share your organization’s events with the world.

Next Stop Curtis-ville Central, nothing to see but it is the next stop

Comments off
Whaleoil Submitted by : Whaleoil on Apr 27, 2006
Well, just got off the phone with one of my mates from the Manukau City Coun­cil and it seems Curtis-ville has also been think­ing about what they could spend $38,000 of pub­lic money on.
 
They’re going to build a railway.
 
…but not just any railway…
 
A gold-plated bloody railway!!
 
At $70m for a 1.8km track, Curtis-ville’s rail line from the main trunk to the city cen­tre is going to cost the pub­lic of Manukau $38,000 per metre.
 
As usual, an excel­lent use of pub­lic money by Lord Bar­ring­ton and his band of merry Councillors!
 
It is not as if there is any­thing in the City Cen­tre worth going there for.

Da Vinci Code Judgement contains a code

Comments off
Whaleoil Submitted by : Whaleoil on Apr 27, 2006
The judge in the case of Baigent & Leigh v Ran­dom House (the Davinci Code case) has him­self left a code in the judgement.
 
Using an odd series of ital­i­ci­sa­tions and marked let­ters through­out the judge­ment the judge has left a code that he calls a “bit of fun”.
 
Check the doc­u­ment for yourself.
