Hoodie Day

Today is National Hoodie Day with the slogan "Its wotz under da hood dat counts" - paid for by the usual suspect - The Taxpayer - at a cost of $35,000. More money down the drain.

Who is the hairbrained idiot who thought this up - the Ministry of Youth.
Who are the hare brained idiots who support it - again the usual suspects in the Maori Party as well as the Greens.
Who are the hare brained idiots who can't even promote good English.


As usual, common sense from MP Ron Mark.

He says it is sending the wrong message. "I think it's a little bizarre that a Maori MP would be promoting black American gang culture as a way to try generate some positive messages about New Zealand youth."

Why don't the Government spend $35,000 lauding our top students.

A Kapiti politician took National Hoodie Day to the extreme by donning a Ku Klux Klan costume at a council meeting, in a move that stunned district councillors and the public. He might have the right idea but a really stupid way to promote it.


Electricity - Why do we always seem to have power shortages - it doesn't happen in Australia, UK, Brazil etc. Talk about fiddling while Rome burns. Action to save power should have been taken months ago and getting more power generration should have been done 10 years ago. Went to a talk by a Transpower Executive this week who thinks it is going to be a very difficult winter unless we get rain. My impression is that with an election due the Goverment are hoping to toughen it out and pray for rain.

Another thought, following on from a previous Blog; although they cannot prosecute Kahui with dereliction of the children because he was found not guilty of the murder, she wasn't charged with anything, so why don't the Police charge her. I wonder if they gave her immunity from prosecution - if so they should say so.

A rude T-Shirt. It has the slogan "I love country music" along with pictutes of - an eye, a heart, Hillary Clinton, a tree and musical notes.


Enough said.
