Not too bad

Xavier at About Town has done his own version of National’s billboard.

Not too bad, but not particularly hard hitting.

David, you are too kind. 😛 “Not particularly hard hitting” – much like the original billboard, I suppose…

verdad (truth, in Spanish)

It was only 7 years ago that the NATIONAL PARTY showed itself to be the pathetically irresponsible JOKE of the world through their unviable financial gaming, unethical schemes & heavyhanded yet harebrained privatization (without sensible planning or parameters).

HEY, LET’S REFER TO A CRUCIALLY IMPORTANT OCCURRENCE — (rather than mindlessly slinging trivia & petty gossip):
It’s a FACT that the sleazy, corrupt, “every man for himself” (at the expense of others, of society and of the public good) ludicrously incompetent & criminally irresponsible NATIONAL PARTY was RESPONSIBLE for the ELECTRICITY SYSTEM DEREGULATION / PRIVATIZATION FIASCO as notoriously epitomized in the TWO MONTH POWER OUTAGE OF A MAJOR METROPOLITAN CITY (AUCKLAND)!!!!!!

Responsibility, what’s up? — You’re irresponsibly covering up Israel’s role in the egregious invasion & occupation of Iraq. Why are you attempting to prevent the public from being aware of documented facts regarding the Neocon agenda (which Israelis and the Neocons have blatantly stated themselves in their own publications, meetings & interviews)?

Verdad: Right…I do believe that someone needs to take their special happy pills…
And as for the billboard: Yes, it’s good, but you know what they say about imitation being the best form of flattery.

When someone asserts what is clearly an opinion as a FACT, I think it speaks for itself their detatchment from reality.

HEY, LET’S REFER TO A CRUCIALLY IMPORTANT OCCURRENCE — (rather than mindlessly slinging trivia & petty gossip, which is the National Party’s one-track note):

If “Responsibility” is the issue, then what’s up?
–Your blog’s deliberate stream (of dreck a la mode) is irresponsibly covering up Israel’s role in the egregious invasion & occupation of Iraq. Why are you attempting to prevent the public from being aware of documented facts regarding the Neocon agenda (which Israelis and the Neocons have blatantly stated themselves in their own publications, meetings & interviews)?

Verdad – if you continue to just post near-identical copies of the same rant, then I will ban you as a spammer.

I guess you can’t handle the “verdad”

Aren’t kiwis rough & tough — on the outside — and mushy on the inside?

Get real, National Party….you’re just viewed as grasping gropers for your own personal tax cuts (because your wealthy parents have some assets to hand over to you, so you can be a gourmand out grazing in the pasture with blinders on).

Obviously, pundito can’t handle the “verdad”……..
and women in general are glad to be thousands of kilometers away from his ignorance.

It’s good to know that there are enlightened kiwi men other than poquito pundito.

“pundito” is clearly not a learned, productive pundit — but rather a National Party “bandito”

Funny, while I lived in Oz, I heard absolutely nothing about this apparent “pathetically irresponsible JOKE of the world”. Could that be a little exaggeration, verdad???

It’s true…that I’m “charming” and well-informed……

but, alas, I’m not a prince or a scion……and I’m not Brash.

Also, I don’t make any pledges or oaths — to monarchy in general or to British aristocracy or to Freemasonry or to World Vision missionaries or to the Wolfowitz World Bank Gangsters or to your embezzling heroes sultan Chalabi and the Halliburton & Bechtel Corps.

I’m just a “royal pain” for National Party members who haven’t done their homework in terms of educating themselves.

Ah so it is not our friend Ztev/roadkill/roadtoll come out to play.Sorry for confusing you with that particular tardo/s. As to being able to handle the truth or not, it depends upon whose slant at the truth that wold entail. If it happens to be that your’s is based a an antizionist/ anti capitalist/ anti-american/ racist bigotry then I couldn’t give a flying what you think because it is obviously a level of enlightenment which I refuse to attain.
As for NZ women, me thinks you have no idea in that particular avenue as well. And your geography is pretty rooted too. It is impossible to be in NZ and yet be 1000s of km from my presumed ignorance.
You may have a point about the Nats and the blackouts in Akl, but this was because their pigheadedness in RMA dismantling in their final term. But what say you to the events of today, and the Labour party’s delaying tactics for generation and transmission of energy to Akl? Is this sleazy, corrupt, “every man for himself” (at the expense of others, of society and of the public good) ludicrously incompetent & criminally irresponsible?

Xavier –

If Labour wants to take credit for the “lowest crime rate in 22 years” (which is debatable, at best), why is it that everything that goes wrong is an ‘operational matter’ that the Government bears no responsibility for? Can’t have it both ways, sweetie.

true grammar for ya

Please note that the Spanish word “mentiroso” (as used by Mr. Ed Snack ) ends with the vowel “o” and is the masculine form of that adjective, not the feminine form.

For an intellectual snack that expands awareness, I highly recommend the political insights in the following websites:
