Todd McClay

I saw an article in the Herald on Sunday about the King Cobra gang that referenced Todd McClay’s private members bill about gang patches.

Coincidentally I was reading on Andrew Sullivan a snippet from an article about the Economics of Gang Colors.

If you’re a criminal, one of your principal challenges involves knowing whom it’s safe to do business with. You don’t want to sell to an undercover cop, obviously, but you also don’t want to sell to an eager-but-clueless criminal who may well get caught and drag you down with him. Like certain ostentatious displays by males in the animal kingdom, gang colors serve as a handicap, [economist Andrew] Mell argues: Yes, they make it more likely that the person wearing them will be caught. Yet they semaphore the following message: If I’m still willing to commit crimes when I have this handicap, I must be pretty good at evading the police. Incompetent criminals couldn’t get away with wearing gang colors.

Yesterday was a day for awards. Firstly I gave Clayton Cosgrove a Bronze Star for his truthful explanation of why Labour supported the Christchurch earthquake enabling legislation. Then I gave a Silver Star to Simon Bridges for a brilliant Facebook wall comment.

Unfortunately for Clayton Cosgrove the sheer shock of getting an award from me went straight to his head and he decided to try and score points against Judith Collins by asking her to compare real numbers (they are good) with projections (which are moronic) on Police numbers. The ensuing chaos as poor Plughead got a maths lesson from the minister and another supplementary lesson in dealing with reality rather than figures conjured up by the Police Association was something to behold. You almost feel sorry for the guy, up to his arms in sh*t at home and it’s over his head at work.

To top all that off Louise Upston mocked him by saying he can’t count on her Facebook wall. Todd McClay, ever the quick wit, added the following;

Clayton Cosgrove is a count

Gold Star for Boris. Actually I think he should get the Kevin Taylor Truth in Politics Award. Him and Simon Bridges can be the inaugural nominees.

Of course I must also hand out a Gold Star to Judith Collins for her comments on the dopers smoking it up on the lawn outside parliament.

Police Minister Judith Collins wasn’t impressed to learn what protestors had got away with.

“Well there is a moron born every moment, you know, people like that,” she said.

“I’m sure if you look at the policing act you’ll see that I’m not in a position to tell police how to enforce the law but I also know that if they do enforce the law in matters like that there will be plenty of people willing to criticise them for doing so.”

No wonder Plughead got a flogging again after that.

It’s only Monday and I’m afraid we have a hands down winner for Politician of the week and sadly for Pedobear Power who was hoping beyond all reason that his nanny state reaction-ism to booze would get him across the line, it isn’t him, it is Todd McClay for being a real Kiwi bloke.

Todd McClay’s perfectly fine Easter trading bill that would bring some sanity to the present dog bollocks of a law we have now was voted down last night which is a crying shame.

However the shame should be heaped upon the shoulders of the following National MPs.

Shane Ardern (Taranaki-King Country), Chester Borrows (Whanganui), Bill English (Clutha-Southland ), Phil Heatley (Whangarei), Sam Lotu-Iiga (Maungakiekie), Tim Macindoe (Hamilton West), Eric Roy (Invercargill), Katrina Shanks (list), Jonathan Young (New Plymouth)

Not only did you vote with a bunch of unionised pinko wankers and watermelons, I would also like to point out the opening statement about what National stands for;

The National Party was founded on principles of individual responsibility, private enterprise, and reward for individual effort. These principles are the only sure path to a society of personal freedom and rising standards of living for all.

Even though some of those opposed are devout Christians I would bet they think Easter Sunday is a sacred day, well if it is then vote to make it the public holiday and not Monday. Even though Easter was appropriated from another religion in order to encourage conversion. It is the Sabbath that counts and folks, that is Saturday.

Most Kiwis aren’t Christian o to prevent them shopping on a day that is meaningless to them doesn’t promote individual responsibility, private enterprise or reward for individual effort. Sad effort.

Classic Cactus Kate smack down tonight. It was so good it is worthy of an photoshop.

Dear David,

FINAL TERMINATION OF VRWC MEMBERSHIP

Once again Mr Farrar you have breached regulation 2(1)(b)(i) of the VRWC Membership Rules:

“Thou shall not fraternise with those who have helped themselves to pocketsful of taxpayers funding”.

Committee meeting to be held in private to consider your defence which can only be found at regulation 4(2)(d)(iii), stating:

Exceptions include…..”for intel purpose to advance the VRWC”

You have two working days to respond. I trust you know what a “working day” means. Given your pinko tendencies we have to make sure you don’t confuse this with last night that was a “Meet The Troughers” day.

Yours sincerely

Cactus Kate

Stuff has an article about the worlds ugliest dogs.

A prominent under-bite, scrunched face and floppy ears are the hallmarks of a winner – the winner of the World’s Ugliest Dog contest, that is.

Pabst, a boxer-mix rescued from a shelter by Miles Egstad of Citrus Heights, California, won the annual contest at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in Northern California.

I reckon they missed some out of the line up

This one from New York

This one from Auckland

This one from the Waikato

This one from Wellington

and this one also from Wellington

They all have faces you can break bottles on and you certainly wouldn’t wish breeding traits that that on anyone let alone your dog.
