And here was me thinking it was tax credits.

by Whaleoil April 30, 2007

At last the gov­ern­ment has recog­nised that Work­ing fo Fam­i­lies is noth­ing more than wel­fare dressed up and sold as “tax credits”.

They are busily slag­ging off National for their pro­posal to unwind Work­ing for Fam­i­lies and replace it with Tax cuts.

Helen Clark has finally also acknowl­edged that Tax Cuts are badly needed.

[quote]“I think that’s ter­ri­ble for fam­i­lies, because as we know Work­ing for Fam­i­lies extends to about 70 per cent of fam­i­lies with chil­dren. That tax cut for them is very badly needed.“[/quote]

So the gov­ern­ment can’t even get its own story straight. Firstly they pitched Work­ing for Fam­i­lies as Tax Cred­its, now it is wel­fare. Tax cuts are evil and the pro­po­nents of them should be “qui­etly drowned”, now Clark says a tax cut os “badly needed”.

They are indeed clutch­ing at straws as the Key jug­ger­naut marches on over the rem­nants of Labour.

Camel Fuckers Convention

by Whaleoil April 30, 2007

I kid you not…it is real.

There is a Camel Fuck­ers Con­ven­tion on in Saudi Arabia.

[quote]Contestants in this Saudi-style beauty pageant have all the fea­tures you might expect any­where else in the world, but with one cru­cial dif­fer­ence – the com­peti­tors are camels.

This week, the Qah­tani tribe of west­ern Saudi Ara­bia has been wel­com­ing entrants to its Maza­yen al-Ibl com­pe­ti­tion, a parade of the “most beau­ti­ful camels” in the des­o­late desert region of Guwei’iyya, 120 km west of Riyadh.

“In Lebanon they have Miss Lebanon,” jokes Walid, mod­er­a­tor of the competition’s web­site. “Here we have Miss Camel.“[/quote]

There, I think that post tops Clint’s Brazil­ian PM post.

Jordan pikes and now Tony is thinking of going out in sympathy

by Whaleoil April 30, 2007

The Left­ists are on the retreat.

Firstly it was Jor­dan sook­ing out and now fel­low NZBU Spe­cial Needs mem­ber Tony Milne is hav­ing sec­ond thoughts about allow­ing free speech on his blog. He has already entered teh cen­sor­ship realms by delet­ing some rather harsh but accu­rate com­ments from myself and also from hon­orary meber Inso­lent Prick.

As the Vice Pres­i­dent for Life for Polit­i­cal Beat­ings and Gen­eral Thug­gery , I say go over to Tony’s and make your thoughts known to him and assist him in  con­cen­trat­ing on his immi­nent elec­tion loss­rather than being a mouth piece for the Gov­ern­ment of Thieves.

Like all social­ists they can dish out hate and vit­riol but can barely take it.

Shared Equity, A disaster waiting to happen?

by Whaleoil April 30, 2007

Adolf thnks so and so do I.

Absolutely the last entity that I would want as a shared equity part­ner is the government.

As Ger­ald Ford once said “A gov­ern­ment big enough to give you every­thing you want is a gov­ern­ment big enough to take from you every­thing you have.”

Jordan sooks it up

by Whaleoil April 30, 2007

Mad lick­spit­tle Herr Rot­ten­fuhrer Jor­dan Carter has sooked it up over at his blog …hmmm, can we call it that now he has dis­abled comments.…nah, more like Jordan’s Party Polit­i­cal Broad­cast System.

Any­way, he couldn’t take the heat and so has dis­abled com­ments except on those posts that he deems wor­thy of com­ment. The posts that he enables com­ment on will more than likely be banal posts on noth­ing that could pos­si­bly be turned against the government.

So afraid of neg­a­tive com­ments he has now taken to also delet­ing com­ments if he deems them to be off topic.

What a big sooky la-la, pout­ing like a spurned queen. Cry me a river.

I won­der how long before Labour pushes for a law to stop bloggers…can’t be far off now…oh and they will prob­a­bly be open­ing up the Blog­gers Wing at some prison somewhere.

Maybe some­one out there in the VRWC will pro­vide a com­ments facil­ity for Jor­dan by tak­ing his posts by RSS and repost­ing them with com­ments enabled…can’t be that hard to do. Hell we could call it “Com­ments on Just Left”.

Has Helen Clark had a sex change?

by Whaleoil April 30, 2007

I won­der because all the media seems to be awash with sto­ries about her Doo­dle?

I know there have been rumours but I didn’t know she even had a doodle.

Worse there seems to be some doubt over her doo­dle as well. Did the oper­a­tion go suc­ces­fully or not?

Should we really be con­cerned about her doo­dle? Isn’t that just a lit­tle too private?

Stuff even has the temer­ity to call her doo­dle a fake and even value it and apprently her doo­dle was com­pleted 6 years ago!!!. Boy that is really over the top.

New­stalkZB get really per­sonal and asked Clark if she drew her doo­dle, I mean how per­sonal is that?

All I can say is the media can cer­tainly be cruel.

Daylight Saving to be extended

by Whaleoil April 30, 2007

The Gov­ern­ment has decided to extend day­light sav­ing by 3 weeks in response to a 42,000 sig­na­ture petition.

The exten­sion will be 1 week at the begin­ning and 2 weeks at the end.

Now I won­der if they will  aban­don the Sec­tion 59 repeal if there are more than 42,000 sig­na­tures on that?

We have a tie, voting extended

by Whaleoil April 29, 2007

We cur­rently have a tie in the GR8 Plates com­pe­ti­tion . There­fore I have extended voting.

What I find Hard to believe is that there were 395 views of the page and only 11 votes.

Now how hard can it be? You get 5 choices and you place them in order, the rest you leave as is.

Come on get with it and vote away.

Tax Freedom Day

by Whaleoil April 29, 2007

Today is Tax Free­dom Day , three days later than last year,which indi­cates that peo­ple are pay­ing more tax than they should.

The Busi­ness Round­ta­ble­says New Zealand will find itself fur­ther down the OECD rank­ings and will have to make sig­nif­i­cant progress if it wants to keep up with coun­tries such as Aus­tralia. Tax Free­dom Day comes a lot ear­lier in Aus­tralia than in New Zealand.

Fake, Fake, fake

by Whaleoil April 29, 2007

Some­ones pic­ture signed by Helen Clark is up for auc­tion at Dun­bar Sloane. Essen­tially you will be pay­ing for a sig­na­ture, but as those were all over the rorted pledge cards it shouldn’t be worth that much.

The silly troll wouldn’t even com­ment on it on New­stalkZB this morn­ing, what on earth has she got to hide?

We know she didn’t draw it, we know she was found to have com­mit­ted a prima facie case of forgery and we know the Police didn’t pros­e­cute because “it wasn’t in the pub­lic inter­est” t do so.

Anti-Smacking bill looks doomed

by Whaleoil April 29, 2007

The anti-smacking bill is look­ing doomed after a sur­vey of Maori showed 80% opposed to the bill.

The Maori Party despite the silly utter­ings of Tar­i­ana Turia are noth­ing if not prag­ma­tists and would be silly to go against their core support. 

If the Maori Party decides to back the Key amend­ment, it would have the num­bers to pass.

But Sue Brad­ford has said she would with­draw it in those circumstances.

Good, then that’s that then.

Duh!!!

by Whaleoil April 29, 2007

I know it sounds harsh after hav­ing lost his two kids in a boat­ing acci­dent, but really the police don’t have to look to far for lay­ing the blame for the tragedy.

He has come out in the Her­ald today say­ing he wants to burn the boat .….good luck try­ing fool, the boat is alu­minium, the melt­ing point of which is 660.32 °C.

Sorry mate, I know you hate your­self and are prob­a­bly irra­tional right now but this won’t solve the prob­lem of the tiny litle fact that you went out in the boat with­out a bung.….then exas­per­ated the prob­lem of tak­ing on water by pow­er­ing away and thus mov­ing all that water on board into the stern.

The real killer in stiu­a­tions like this is panic and igno­rance, burn­ing the boat won’t help that.

Smacking is all the fault of Colonisation and Christians

by Whaleoil April 29, 2007

Just when you think the Maori party has kept on tak­ing their sen­si­ble pills they then open their yaps and prove with­out a doubt that in fact they are still stuck on stupid.

Tar­i­ana Turia has blamed smack­ing on the effects of coloni­sa­tion and chris­tian­ity . Appar­ently Maori just hugged their kids and only learned to bash them to within an inch of their lives from colonis­ing christians.

It is this sort of histroy revi­sion that relly makes my blood boil. It ranks up there with Maori are nat­ural con­ser­va­tion­ists, except we have to ignore what hap­pened to the Moa amongst other fauna.….and that Maori are liv­ing in a mod­ern world, except of course when the oppor­tu­nity to extort some money comes along and all of a sud­den the stone age comes roar­ing back into vogue with tani­wha appear­ing in all sorts of oppor­tune places.….Maori were peace loving.….oh yeah, then how come they lived in for­ti­fied pa and made edged weapons.….spare me this revi­sion­ist claptrap.

Take respon­si­bil­ity for your own piti­ful fuck­ing lives and get a decent grip on real­ity. It is no-ones fault but your own.

RSA">The Minister of Fuck All pisses off the RSA

by Whaleoil April 29, 2007

Labour con­tin­ues to show its arro­gance and the lat­est Min­is­ter to firmly plant both of her feet in her mouth is Judith Tizard.

She has accused the RSA of polit­i­cal machi­na­tion sur­rouind­ing the lay­ing of wreaths at the Ceno­taph and caused a major rucus by insit­ing that the only wreath should have been hers.

Sheesh it is bad enough that her girl­friend couldn’t be bother attend­ing but then she kicks Judith outta bed to piss off the old soldiers. 

These bitches know no shame.
