Never Again

The problem is that it never again actually means tommorow. Oh  and it it happened in Europe, surprise suprise,expect nothing but denial in the Hauge this month. I like that the world is making it clear that we will deliver justice be it Ground Zero or  the former Yogoslavia.

Hagerman, Chaves County New Mexico, USA . You guy's owe me.

For reasons I won't go into I made a discovery today probably  a discovery that has escaped almost everyone in the USA and as for the rest of the world well I won't bother to speculate. I found Hagerman, the information is not up to date but promising


" As of the census^[2] of 2000, there were 1,168 people, 397 households, and 296 families residing in the town. The population density was 846.8 people per square mile (326.8/km²). There were 439 housing units at an average density of 318.3 per square mile (122.8/km²). The racial makeup of the town was 67.55% White, 0.09% African American, 0.09% Native American, 0.09% Asian, 0.51% Pacific Islander, 28.94% from other races, and 2.74% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 63.18% of the population. "


Why the hell the racial statistics are collected is beyond me but it is good to see that a few Pacific Islanders are their an ethnic group I am part of despite my Caucasian ancestry. But here is the important bit guys ( apologies to female readers  appropriate here).



" In the town the population was spread out with 36.2% under the age of 18, 7.3% from 18 to 24, 24.9% from 25 to 44, 18.8% from 45 to 64, and 12.8% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 31 years. For every 100 females there were 93.4 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 89.1 males. 


"For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 89.1 males. "


Guy's think. Even Harry Fox would have a better than average chance of getting a screw. This is possibly a Nome style gold rush, I fully expect condom sales to rise as some hard men prepare to mine the delights of Hagerman.

Palin is fucked

When a right wing sensible Republican commentator predicts you are toast I tend to believe her and that is the opinion of Jennifer Rubin


" Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) has been unfairly compared to Sarah Palin. There is a certain sexism in lining the two up, as opposed to lining up Bachmann and Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), who are both Tea Party favorites, or Bachmann and Newt Gingrich (new and old grass-roots favorites). Bachmann has very little aside from party and gender in common with Palin. Bachmann is a current and experienced officeholder, a lawyer and able to opine on specifics of legislation. In a very real sense, Palin is no Michele Bachmann. "


Ouch. Rubin is no right wing nut case, actually if the Republicans wanted a credible candidate they might want to look at her but I guess in the USA you don't go from the Washington Post to the White House.


" And it is for this reason, I think, that whatever slim chance there was for a Palin presidential candidacy will evaporate when Bachmann, if as expected, gets into the race next week....


In the Daily Caller, Caroline May asks what Bachmann can learn from the Palin experience. Former McCain campaign adviser Michael Goldfarb warns, “ It is obvious the media does not take Bachmann seriously. They don’t take her views seriously and they don’t take the view of her supporters seriously even though that is a huge segment of the Republican Party and the country.”


" It is hard to argue with that, but it is equally true that Bachmann has the ability to engage the mainstream media on issues in a way Palin could not. She, unlike Palin, has the advantage of reduced expectations and a lawyer’s mind for debate. Frankly, the only one who should be concerned about the Palin comparison is Palin, who probably won’t run, in part, because the comparison does not favor her."


They are both fucking nutters but Palin is the more competent nutter giving
a huge advantage. I think that Palin showed her political stupidity  though  with this. "




" Sarah Palin and Donald Trump exchanged words of admiration Tuesday after a brief meeting at the real estate magnate's penthouse in a Manhattan skyscraper bearing his name.Palin, the former Republican vice presidential nominee, said she and Trump shared similar ideas for improving the U.S. economy, while Trump called Palin a "terrific woman and a terrific friend" who he hoped would seek the GOP presidential nomination. 


Sort of sums the woman up and unfortunately sums up America a serial bankrupt and a fucking idiot are planning to to take control of the worlds biggest nuclear arsenal. 


President Obama will win a second term because he is an effective President who actually  gets the job done, something that must be a unique experience for the US and because all the Republican's can offer  are a bunch of stupid racist rednecks.


I am guessing the guy's at Hustler would love a Palin / Bachmann ticket.

Gypsies. The hate continues , or does it ? Hi Italy

How often have I blogged about the stupidity of racism. Patrick and Tami have backed me on this and have taken  principled stands  both here and at MySpace. They have said exactly what I have said and both have been accused of being racists, I have not been accused but I am guessing that is because I am Caucasian. ( That is white for all you educated tea party people ).

Berluscon is a wanker and his rightwing maiden of hate  and trust me  she said  this.


" Wearing an elegant silk jacket, carrying a white Dolce & Gabbana handbag and sporting her customary silver eye shadow, the beleaguered mayor of Milan, Letizia Moratti, cut an incongruous figure as she scrunched across the gravel at an old Gypsy campsite in Milan last week.

The 1,500 Gypsies who once lived here have long gone, which is why Moratti had brought the TV crews with her. "When I first came here, I saw an undignified way of life. Now there are zero Gypsies," she said, before listing the other Gypsy settlements around Milan that she plans to shut down if re-elected this weekend."

I just want to say that I have no idea why the Roma are hated. They are part of the European culture and they are the new " Jews " and Europe again hates a people.

"... prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi, suffered a humiliating and politically ominous defeat in his home city of Milan on Monday when his party's choice for mayor, Letizia Moratti, was ousted in a runoff by a local leftwing lawyer, Giuliano Pisapia.

There was yet more bad news for the right in Naples where the candidate of the fiercely anti-Berlusconi Italy of Principles party, Luigi De Magistris, stormed home with more than 65% of the ".

Berlusconi was defiant despite the results that some political adversaries said marked the beginning of the end of his ascendancy in Italy's public life.

"This time we didn't win, but we continue. I am a fighter. Any time I have lost, I tripled the effort," he told reporters in Romania, where he was on an official visit ."

Italians and I have met a few are sick of the right wing can''t keep my cock in my trousers infact lets face it  American Republican Politics.

Tool Time

I enjoy walking around hardware stores and even more so when I am with my father because  watching him look at tools gives me a good idea on what to buy him for presents etc.

This is a tool he wouldn't want but hell part of me can see the utilitity ( or is that utitty  ) value. It would make buying the correct size bra a whell  at least you wouldn't be spinning the wheel.

I don't drink beer but my guess is that is an Australian can ( VB ).  

Wellywood. Stupidity is truely global.

Why would anyone want to mimic Hollywood. Well I am fucked if I have a sensible answer.

 Wellington the New Zealand Capital City sure as hell doesn't want it , over 60% of the the city think is it is a stupid idea and with only 22% saying it is a good idea  why the fuck would you do it. From the New York Times yesterday

"Plans to erect a “Wellywood” sign mimicking the Hollywood sign in Wellington, New Zealand — part of an effort to promote that city’s growing film industry — have riled Hollywood insiders.

The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, which holds the trademark to the sign, insists that Wellington Airport needs permission to use the image and is threatening legal action.

“Over the years, we’ve been contacted by a lot of people who want to mimic the sign,” Leron Gubler, president of the chamber, said. “We usually tell them, ‘Do something of your own.’ ”

Do something of your own is good advise, threatening legal action is fucking stupid. Kiwi's are battlers and the opportunity to humiliate the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce in a NZ court is the sort of thing that many of us would enjoy. Issuing empty threats about legal action you won't win if my understanding of the copyright law is correct is a bit like Goliath giving David a slingshot. 

" Since the blockbuster “Lord of the Rings” trilogy was shot in New Zealand, that country’s film industry has proved a boon to tourism, with foreigners eager to climb the peaks that served as Mount Doom.

Last year, New Zealand officials agreed to contribute special financing to ensure that the two movies based on J. R. R. Tolkien’s “Hobbit” would be shot there, and the Wellywood sign was supposed to boost “Middle-earth” affection further.

The Hollywood chamber is less amused by take-offs. In the past, the sign was a favorite target of vandals and pranksters, who would adjust it to read “Hollyweed” or “Jollygood.”

A fence and webcam now protect against vandalism.

The chamber first contacted Wellington Airport about the Wellywood sign last year, expressing misgivings and legal concerns. Until recently, it assumed Wellywood was dead. But last weekend, the airport issued a statement brightly asserting its intention to begin construction."

Wellington is arguably the cultural capital of New Zealand in much the same way as Hollywood is America's cultural capital. Why the fuck we would want to trade our rich culture for the utter shit that masquerades as culture in Hollywood is beyond me.

 “I expect widespread support for the intent of the sign, even if a Wellywood sign isn’t everyone’s cup of tea,” Steve Fitzgerald, the chief executive of Wellington Airport, said in the statement. “Everyone benefits from increasing tourism for Wellington.”

But on Wednesday, a fight broke out in New Zealand that would put “Bridesmaids” to shame. Some Wellington city councilors urged the airport to reconsider, saying the sign would undermine the city’s reputation for cutting-edge creativity. Others called opponents “impetuous fools,” among other things.

More than 25,000 people have joined a Facebook group called “Wellingtonians Against the Wellywood Sign.”

Actually the fight is huge.

" A beer bounty is being offered to whoever destroys the Wellywood sign once its put up.

Blenheim brewery Moa will reward "successful acts of disobedience" with 15 cases of beer.

"Well obviously it's an outrage and the public have voiced their opinion and this is our way of supporting them and our form of protest as well," Moa market manager Sunil Unka said.

"Obviously we don't want anyone injuring themselves so if they can do it as safely as possible that  would be great. The best case scenario is for it to disappear and recycled some how.”

He agrees that the promotion is encouraging people to break the law but says the general population of Wellington and New Zealand didn't want the sign and would support destroying it.

Mr Unka said they would look at paying legal bills if people act on the bounty "

When  you offer a Kiwi 15 cases of premium beer to commit an illegal community sevice well you will probably find a taker.

"..in the past, the sign was a favorite target of vandals and pranksters, who would adjust it to read “Hollyweed” or “Jollygood."

He He. I rather suspect the NZ Police would give attacks on the sign a low priority.

The Global Peace Index

I am a left wing blogger in my opinion and I was some what disappointed that Kiwiblog failed to treat the Global Peace Index in the manner it deserves. It is a load of shit. Infact it is a load of anti American shit. New Zealand has swapped places with Iceland at the top of the table we are now the second least dangerous country in the world having been the least dangerous for the last two years. Kiwiblog attempts to rationalise this.

It is of course a load of shit as DPF at Kiwi blog well knows. These are the top 10 peaceful countries

1 Iceland
2 New Zealand
3 Japan
4 Denmark
5 Chech Republic
6 Austria
7 Finland
8 Canada
9 Norway
10 Slovenia

The USA comes in at 82. Lets think  I will not support  stupidity or misrepresentation ever and that is all I can see.
