The Traffic Police.

Alan Duff accused of manhandling policewoman ... now having observed from afar Mr Duff's demeanour, I would have tended to rework the headline to reflect his need for attention viz. 'Alan Duff accused of womanhandling policewoman.'
But having occasion to experience the north of Taupo 'speed control cowboys,' I can only sympathise with him ... they are 'beyond the pale' and I actually wrote some time ago to the Ministry of Transport to warn them of their arrogance, the intransigent nature of this and the absolute 'cowboy nature' with which they use their vehicles ... and that this behaviour would result in excess from their victims.
Now, in my case it was a ... well you could only describe him as, 'an arrogant red haired prick' who was 'showboating' in front of a female trainee ... and showboating he was indeed, doing, a 'u' turn in the face of following traffic, all but loss of control as he pulled on to the loose metal on the shoulder of the road .... this has been the only time in 45 years of driving that I have abused a traffic officer.
'Tis to be hoped that it was not this trainee that took a 'liking' to Mr Duff ... if it was, she deserves a jolly good flailing.

'& They Wonder Why?' ... A continuation.

A Human Rights Commissioner says women are being "locked out" of corporate boardrooms ...

However, the chief executive of the Institute of Directors, Dr Nicky Crauford, says boards do not have open selection processes for new members, and well-qualified men are also being overlooked.
Dr Crauford says there are not enough women with senior management experience who have the necessary skills for company directorships.

Oh, so it really isn't 'sexism' in operation.

'Fickleness, Thy Name is Woman.'

Born Tracy Lagondino, in Hawaii, he underwent a sex change about 10 years ago and became legally male, although he chose to keep his female reproductive organs. He lost his breasts and developed facial hair, which he trimmed into a neat beard.
He and Nancy, who have been together for as long as he has been a man, moved to Oregon two years ago and decided to start a family. Nancy had had a hysterectomy and was unable to conceive, so the task of getting pregnant fell to him.

Stands To Reason

You've got to invest a dollar ...


to make a trillion.


Al Gore, elevated to almost prophetic status for his campaign against global warming, on Sunday night unveiled a new $300m advertising blitz intended to force a debate on climate change during the presidential elections.


Obviously he thinks a combination of subtleness combined with outright denigration will achieve this end.
I am absolutely astounded that someone who refuses to publicly debate anyone on this matter and has no training in the field narrated a movie where frames of nuclear explosions were interspersed in a subliminal way in scenes of droughts and flood, among other major gaffes, can say these things and then have them accepted by anyone ... Joe Bastardi



So he wants it to be an election issue .... but does not want the conclusions or the basis on which these conclusions are reached, nor the failure of the climate models to predict current global cooling debated ... nor in fact recent findings published.




Here is a plot of actual monthly temperatures and the trends from the Hadley global data set (HADCRUT3v) and University of Alabama satellite derived lower tropospheric temperatures covering the same period as the robots measured ocean heat content. Like the robots they show a downtrend (cooling).

Will Hutton: America's greedy are the real danger.

Unfortunately, Gore has much to lose from the last ten years of non global warming and as British environmental analyst Christopher Monckton says Al Gore's latest attack on global warming skeptics shows the former vice president and other climate alarmists are "panicking."
Gore's group The Alliance for Climate Protection is currently launching a new $300 million ad campaign that demands reforms in environmental law to help reduce the supposed "climate crisis." But Monckton points out that in the U.K., Gore is not allowed to speak in public about his "green investment company" because to do so would violate racketeering laws by "peddling a false prospectus." He says that fact came about after a British high court found Gore's movie, An Inconvenient Truth, riddled with errors.

Bailey Kurariki to remain behind bars ... despite ...

Kim Workman heads a group that visits Kurariki and says, "He has presented the board as an articulate and intelligent young man. He appears genuine in his desire to live an offence free life and those responsible for him in prison have noted a developing maturity."

This however contrasts starkly with the parole board's feelings about Kurariki in January last year.
"His conduct in the prison demonstrates clearly a willingness to offend against others and in a violent way, either when he is under stress, or seeking to establish that position in the group he believes is his.”

Now Kim was in charge of Corrections for a period, so undoubtedly would be a 'good judge of character' ... indeed he could be said to be the 'father of our new age senstive, don't punish but rehabilitate' failing prison system ... one of his proteges could be said to be one Donna Huata ... he certainly lauded her merits voraciously at one point, despite rumour having it that she had become persona non grata at our principal maximum security institution prior to this.

Yes we should both applaud and trust in Kim's judgement ... after all managing staff gives an insight in to the minds of the criminals in their custody ... no it wasn't custody was it? It was 'care.'

Police: 'Bloody animal' has attacked before

"This is a callous, vicious attack by a bloody animal ... We're lucky there was no serious injury," said Detective Sergeant Jason McIntosh of the Auckland crime squad."

Really this is probably an artefact of alienation and dispossession, the result of colonisation ... and simply represents a simplistic endeavour to reclaim identity.

Yep, white, old, female and vulnerable are probably the cues and the risk factors.

Now it would appear that Dover may think that Pita has something to do with such eventualities ... and there may just be something to this ... and with the rise in the frequency of the 'body snatchers' (one of the more crass, indefensible activities associated with this 'cultural entrenchment and domination') ... Labour Cabinet minister Shane Jones says Maori leaders need to establish a set of protocols for tangi to prevent body-snatchers bringing the culture into disrepute.
But 'culture' is a 'way of life, a way of living.' To say that such activity is bringing a 'culture' in to disrepute is a nonsense ... although the greater nonsense is endeavouring to defend such indefensible behaviour under the umbrella of culture ... mind you George Bush probably agrees that 'water boarding' can in fact bring out a few demons.

and what next?
Perhaps, futures trading in cadavers? Trademe.co.nz??
Following on from the notion of 'you are what you eat' .... then Cindy Kiro must endow one with inumerable powers of presence and contrived 'socially imposed conscience,' and of course a balanced diet demands, despite how unsavoury, that you eat your greens.

The Ayes Have It.

His 'hand was an evil hand which made drugs so Antonie Dixon cut it off..'

.. and so, in full agreement with this person, he put out his hand so it could be cut off?

Or was he trying to defend himself with his hand and it was cut off?

Now with this sort of irrational testimony one has to wonder who and what is rational or irrational ... the protagonist, for the irrational statements made to explain or mitigate (against) his irrational behaviour; the psychiatrist for not only accepting the irrational explanation but presenting it as evidence of a disordered (or irrational) state of mind at the time of the act, thus circumventing responsibility ... and it would seem without contesting the veracity of this; the lawyer for endeavouring to sell this irratonal notion to twelve people not endowed with reason or understanding about such matters.

'Tis a fine line indeed.
