Death

via the tipline

I was alerted to this death notice in the Herald. I had a little chuckle.

What a great way to go out.

Maryan Street is supporting a euthanasia bill in parliament at the moment.

I can certainly say that in the past year I have changed my views on euthanasia substantially and fully support  any initiative that will reform our out-dated laws.

However there are many who will use stories like the one below, where two brothers decided to end their lives because they’d rather not be blind as well as deaf.

Identical twins have been killed by Belgian doctors in a unique case under the country’s euthanasia laws.

The 45-year-old brothers from the Antwerp region were born deaf and sought euthanasia after finding that they would also soon go blind.

They told doctors that they were unable to bear the thought of not being able to see each other again.  Read more »

The Coroner has decided now that pies are killers.

A pregnant woman who died when she crashed into a powerpole may have been eating a pie at the time, according to a coroner’s report.

Melissa Mahia, who worked at Mr Apple Coolstores in Whakatu, Hastings was driving away from the market store last November when she lost control of her car.

The report says the 27-year-old’s vehicle, a green Lexus ES300, hit a wooden pole on the side of Ruahapia Rd in Hastings.

You know, not that she may have just been boyracing

“[It was] closing in very quickly behind the brown car in front,” the report said.

“I wondered if the two cars were racing.”

It is “possible” that the pie caused the crash

Coroner Chris Devonport said in his report it was possible Ms Mahia was distracted by the pie, which in combination with the high speed she was driving at, contributed to the crash.

ALWAYS blow on the pie.

Phil Goff supports dying with dignity. Unfortunately it just isn’t going to happen, Labour have only had one bloodless change over and dignity was afforded only to Saint Helen.

I fear it will be messy and undignified.

Oh wait! …he was talking about euthanasia…silly me.

Add this term to your political lexicon.

Political Necrophilia

(pə-lĭt’ĭ-kəl nĕk’rə-fĭl’ē-ə) also nec·roph‘i·lism (nĭ-krōf’ə-lĭz’əm, nĕ-)

n.

1. Obsessive fascination with political death and political corpses.

adj.

1. Of, relating to, or dealing with the structure or affairs of government, politics, or the state and politicians or issues that are dead to the public.
2. Relating to, involving, or characteristic of politics or politicians: “Calling on the auditor-general to investigate details of an MP who is dead politically “ .

Also known as “cuddling the corpse“.

Labour and especially Pete Hodgson, ironic as he is almost a political corpse himself,  just can’t seem to get it through their heads that the Pansy Wong issue is over. She has resigned, she has gone from parliament and the stench of her corpse is now stinking up them and not National. They did the same with Richard Worth and in fact keep bringing him up.

National has learned that when political meat goes off it is best to chuck it out the back-door. Labour however just seem to want to pick the corpse up and take it home. There comes a point though when cuddling the corpse becomes political necrophilia and you end up stinking of the dead yourself. That’s when corpse rooters usually get sprung, when the stench of the decomposing body starts to stink up their joint and their clothes and the stench pervades their own body.

They should beware of Political Necrophilia.

Heh, this is funny. 

The local body elections in Auckland are heating up. This flyer was sent out yesterday to people in the Hobson Ward of Auckland City.
