September 2006

Have you heard of the Marsden Fund? No! Well it is a fund of about $38 Million of public funds administered by the Royal Society.

So what, you say.

Well they have just awarded grants and  a fair chunk of the grants were awarded to members of the judging panel.

Pigs, snouts, trough anyone.

For example;

One panelist, award-winning lesbian novelist Annamarie Jagose, won close to $500,000 for a new cultural history of sex that will include research into "the hustler, the modern orgasm" and "the sexual culture of Auckland".

or;

The extended mind in early modern England, to be studied by panellist Professor EB Tribble at a cost of $455,000.

Waste anyone? 

In an amazing fit of petulance Labour has announced that they will review laws in revenge against the Exclusive Brethren.

This is an astounding attack against a group whose sole crime it seems is that it opposes the government.

What will it take to stop such a venal government from using its power in such a shocking way against it citizens. 

Given the stellar ratings being experienced by National I reckon Don Brash should have a few more affairs.

Voters are clearly not swayed by Labours muckraking and have given National a 3% rise to 49% in the latest One News Colmar Brunton poll.

Labour dropped a massive 5% to 38%, giving National an 11 point lead.

Now I know why Labour is trying very, very hard to get rid of Don Brash. He is hurting them in the polls. 

Just for you Cactus Kate,

Audrey Young has seen through Clark's charades over Mallard. She writes that Labour is simply trying to distract from their ebbing support in parliament for retrospective legislation.

[quote]One can only image the private telling off he received down the phone line from Clark in Tonga when he was in transit in Los Angeles: "Trevor, it's me. I've had to call you deplorable and say you'll agree to lift standards in the House.

"Just tell them you'll agree. I was a bit tough on the Auditor-General yesterday but I think it's finally working. By the way: have you got any ideas on how I can put the boot into Brash tomorrow? What did you say? 'Cancerous?' Ha ha ha ha."[/quote]

Exactly, Audrey, exactly. Boy I can't wait till the next poll comes out. 

Helen Clark and her feral-ness are now jokes for Americans . Letterman welcomed onto the show someone he said was "the Prime Minister of New Zealand", whom he claimed was in New York for the UN General Assembly.

- however, instead of Helen Clark turning up, it was a leggy blonde woman.

He then used his regular Top 10 slot to ask the question "how do you know if your husband is gay".

To save you clicking the link here they are;

10. You come home to find him handling the gardener's hose

9. On your wedding day, you wore the same dress

8. Favorite magazines: "Gourmet" and "Honcho"

7. Your name: Jodi — name he calls out during sex: Lou

6. Constantly leaving that seat down, am I right girls?

5. Bumper sticker reads: "I'd rather be having sex with dudes"

4. During "Brokeback Mountain," He mumbles, "It didn't happen exactly like that"

3. At your sister's wedding reception, he caught the bouquet

2. Yells, "Honey, I'm home after a long day of gay sex!"

1. Says he got rear-ended but the car looks fine

Labour is effectively trying to ban political satire in airing Helen Clarks crocodile tears over the Young Nats depicting her as DarthVader and other sites showig her as a Stalinist dictator.

Well I am sorry Helen, but toughen up and dry your eyes.

People call things as they see them and in many peoples eyse she is a Stalinist Dictator and she proves it every day with her utterances of intolerance.

One wonders when they will stop tagging missives denigrating Don Brash with this little image.

Pot, Kettle, Black, Prime Minister.

It also doesn't become the party to have one of their own politburo members shrieking out calling Don Brash Mr Magoo on his blog. Tell me again that their isn't a Labour strategy not to muckrack and engage in the politics of personal denigration….didn't think you could.

All this shrieking and wailing simply Helen trying to distract us from their blatant un-constitutional actions in buying and election with our own money.

Pay it Back Darth Helen Elizabethiev Clarkski.
