We mock those reporters on TV that are doing the live-cross. You know, they get asked to stand in a storm while telling you not to go outside and stand in a storm.

Especially when they are drunk:
Shanghai penguins, pensions, brown elephants, and cellarellerisation….
Winston is back.
And he’s pissed, either that or his gums have shrunk a bit and his false teeth are too big for his mouth.
What I want to know is what David Farrar has been doing in Shanghai? And is NZ First recruit pensioners from Shanghai now to shore up their thin numbers?
What does a Shanghai Penguin look like?
Yesterday Winston Peters had a ‘mare….it was so bad that he nearly of thrown out of the house.
He tried the same bullshit again today and ended up with the same answers.
It is pretty sad that he has let the drink get to him.
Waikato police say no charges are being laid after a young man woke early today to find a 40-year-old naked woman in his bed trying to take his clothes off.
A spokesman said the man had been drinking at his Melville neighbour’s house before heading home to bed.
“The man has been asleep and unaware of what was going on, with the 40-year-old intoxicated woman in his bed. His mother has heard a noise and went to have a look and found the woman, naked, trying to remove the victim’s clothes.”
The man’s mother called police but no charges are being laid.

A Mayor in New Mexico signed up million dollar plus contracts while intoxicated.
Ever have one of those nights where you wake up with a hangover and $1 million worth of architecture contracts?
No? Martin Resendiz (D), the Mayor of Sunland Park, New Mexico, certainly has.
According to court documents, Resendiz admitted in a June 2010 deposition that he was drunk when he signed nine contracts with the architectural design firm Synthesis+ for $1 million worth of work.
Resendiz said in the deposition that he signed the documents in May or June of 2008 at the local restaurant Ardovino’s after “a good two and a half, three hours” of drinking, Rene Romo of theAlbuquerque Journal reports (sub req).
“Again, this was after two or three hours of us drinking, not exactly the best time to do business, not exactly the best time to read over legal documents, which [Synthesis+ executive Daniel Soltero] did not portray at any time to be legal documents,” Resendiz said, according to a transcript of the deposition.
“The day I signed … I had way too much to drink. It was after 5 p.m. and I signed it (the contracts) and I didn’t know what I was signing,” Resendiz wrote as a response to questions from lawyers for the firm. “My sister had to pick me up.”
I hope Conor Roberts is keeping Len away from the booze. He might sign up contractors for his rail loop.
Clearly though Andrew Williams has been advising Mayor Resendiz.
Back in August 2009 John Key gave Keisha Castle-Hughes some sage advice. She hasn’t listened.
A twenty year old who gets into bar brawls that ends up with them leaving in handcuffs should not be advising the Prime Minister. It may be the F.A.G. way but it is not the way of modern New Zealand where people who have strong opinions run for office rather than use their celebrity to talk down to politicians who have actually been elected.
At tonights Mayoral debate in Castor Bay on the North Shore Andrew Williams made an arse of himself again.
I have have received numerous reports from attendees shocked at his drunkeness and bully stand-over tactics against John Banks.
He arrived late, again, and staggered clearly drunk into the meeting, stating his usual excuse for when he is caught on the piss, that he was at an important council meeting. He also abused Len Brown (also late but at least had sent his apologies for lateness and wasn’t drunk), and incomprehensibly welcomed Len Brown to the meeting by saying “Good to see you here tonight Mayor…Len…Banks”. He had only been speaking for a few minutes and was swaying prodigiously.
He was abusive towards members of the public in the audience even defaming someone of being part of the “nasty national party brigade” and worse naming him but spectacularly getting the name wrong, not even the right person or the right name.
Andrew Williams is so blind drunk he doesn’t even recognise his political enemies.
But wait it gets worse. At one stage he shouted to John Banks to “Stop Lying”. John Banks retorted that Andrew Williams should “Stop Drinking”. Andrew Williams then bombastically stomped over and stood over and threatened John Banks (now this is hard for Williams because he is actually shorter than John Banks). He finally took hold of his addled senses and sat down before the hushed audience.
I recieved DM Twitter messages and txts, emails and Facebook messages of Andrew Williams appalling drunkenness at this public meeting.
Obviously the pressure is getting to him and he is hitting the bottle harder than ever before. The man is a disgrace and must resign from the race now, both for the mayoralty and for the sake of the residents of Albany.
I’ve faced my demons and conquered them, now it is time for Andrew Williams to face his and get help (follow the link Andrew, you need help).
Vote Slater – Albany
Keeping the buggers honest, AND sober.
Vote Slater - Vote for Whaleoil, not Well Oiled
Christina Applegate has had a double mastectomy after being diagnosed with breast cancer.
“I’m going to have cute boobs ’til I’m 90, so there’s that,” she joked in the interview, which aired on Tuesday. “I’ll have the best boobs in the nursing home. I’ll be the envy of all the ladies around the bridge table.”
This weeks seems to be full of boobs posts, oh well good for the Google rankings.
