What do the Kursk, Katrina and a Tsunami all have in common?

by Whaleoil September 30, 2009

From Wikipedia on the Kursk While the tragedy of the Kursk played out in the Far North, Russia’s then Pres­i­dent Vladimir Putin, though imme­di­ately informed of the tragedy, waited for five days before he broke a hol­i­day at a pres­i­den­tial resort house in sub­trop­i­cal Sochi on the Black Sea before com­ment­ing pub­licly on the loss of […]

Len Brown — Prime Minister?

by Whaleoil September 30, 2009

Len Brown now thinks he is a head of state or Prime Min­is­ter: “We will be in con­tact with the heads of gov­ern­ment there, and like other heads of state we will wait to hear how we might help.” He also thinks hard work­ing ratepay­ers in Manukau should have their prop­er­ties taxed so he can turn […]

Random Questions People should be asking about Chrisco

by Whaleoil September 30, 2009

Where in the world is Richard Bradley? How come all the doc­u­ments relat­ing to the fail­ure of Hop­scotch Finance are sealed until 20011 by court order? Isn’t that highly unusual? Is it true that Hop­scotch Finance has lost $8million? Why doesn’t Richard Bradley own any shares in Chrisco any­more? Why is the Com­Com and Sec­Com on […]

Has Len just endorsed Brian Tamaki as well?

by Whaleoil September 29, 2009

Len Brown, or more to the point Conor Roberts, his Labour Party min­der at the ivory tow­ers, seems to be a bit miffed at some of the out­cry over the Brown/Bradford ticket. In his urgency to allay any fears it seems he is has now endorsed self appointed “Bishop” Brian tamaki as part of his […]

Tenderwatch — Can we get a grip please?

by Whaleoil September 29, 2009

This Ten­der­watch process is get­ting out of hand. There are sim­ply ridicu­lous Ten­ders being pro­posed. These two are for the Health Min­is­ter and the Min­is­ter of Social Devel­op­ment to look into. I reckon that there is lit­er­ally bil­lions being pissed away by paper shuf­fling bureau­crats ten­der­ing out bull­shit things that either neededn’t be done or they […]

Travesty of Justice

by Whaleoil September 29, 2009

Today a man suf­fer­ing from Silly First Name Syn­drome who killed a another man in a fit of road rage got sen­tenced to just 3 years prison for what the judge described as an “appalling case of what may be described as road rage.”. Three fuck­ing years. No-Justice Pot­ter should be flayed. Three years. That is […]

Another Maori Baby Dead

by Whaleoil September 29, 2009

Sue Brad­ford resigns, Maori are still wail­ing about a ‘h’ and seats on a coun­cil and still Maori are killing their chil­dren. Another Maori baby has died, I think that is two a week they are run­ning at right now. I would almost lay a bet that the lat­est death is also Silly First Name […]

Oh great, an email from a trainspotter

by Whaleoil September 28, 2009

I got this email from a trainspot­ter. One who clearly has never looked at the rail map of Auck­land with any­thing except glazed over eyes and co-related that to a map with one of Auck­land where peo­ple ACTUALLY live. Trains suck. They suck at almost every­thing they do and every study that proves they work […]

Labour loonies on making friends with foreigners

by Whaleoil September 28, 2009

Chris Carter really is a pedan­tic poof. He posted this press release which waf­fles on and on. A shorter more mean­ing­ful Chris Carter in press release to Angela Merkel would be: “I am from Labour. We want to con­grat­u­late you Madame Chan­cel­lor. You are a woman. This is good. But it would have been bet­ter if […]

Uh oh tragedy waiting to happen

by Whaleoil September 28, 2009

From Red Alert – Not only is their step-granny a Labour MP, with names like Chance and Chay these two lit­tle wal­la­bies don’t have a hope. I’m off to Aus­tralia this week, with part­ner John, to meet his two new grand­sons, Chance and Chay (yes, well they are Aus­tralians) and so John can meet for just […]

Stupid Nanny State Continues

by Whaleoil September 28, 2009

The new cell­phone ban law will pro­hibit the use of the cell­phone as a nav­i­ga­tion device even if mounted on the dash of your car in acra­dle. This sort of namby-pamby bull­shit was sup­posed to end with the change of gov­ern­ment but it just rolls on as offi­cials just don’t seem to get it. Just to […]

Why Len Brown would be a lousy Mayor

by Whaleoil September 28, 2009

Here’s why Len Brown would make a lousy mayor of Auck­land. He can’t get the rub­bish col­lected prop­erly – for two weeks a revolt­ing unhy­gienic mess was spread all over a local park next to res­i­den­tial hous­ing. If he can’t keep his own back­yard clean in Manukau, how can Wait­akere or North Shore trust him […]
