That’s a good one – you are attributing to starboard/dirty harry the ability to comprehend some text and express a sensible opinion on it.

You won’t see this on the MSM – Hillary getting her ass handed to her by Jim Jordan, with proof being in her own emails to her family, to the Egyptian President, to the Libyan president that she knew the attack in Benghazi was by terrorists – not because of any spontaneous protest in connection with an online video. Nope, it was negligence. Ambassador Stevens had asked for more security.

In fact, over 600 requests were made, and Clinton claims that not one made it to her desk – that Ambassador Stevens (who she claimed was a ‘good friend”) did not have her email address, and that she didn’t even have a computer at the State Department.

She and Obama lied because an election was approaching, and an attack would break the narrative of Libya being the shining example of their foreign policy – and that couldn’t happen.

Hillary Clinton will continue to lie until Election Day in November 2016. A thoroughly corrupt politician she is.

A woman meets a guy in a bar. They talk; they connect; they end up leaving together. They get back to his place, and as he shows her around his apartment, she noticed that one wall of his bedroom is completely filled with soft, sweet, cuddly teddy bears.

There are three shelves in the bedroom, with hundreds of cute, cuddly teddy bears, carefully placed in rows covering the entire wall.

It was obvious that he had taken quite some time to lovingly arrange them and she was immediately touched by the amount of thought he had put in to organizing the display.

There were small bears all along the bottom shelf, medium-sized bears covering the length of the middle shelf, and huge enormous bears running all the way along the top shelf.

She found it strange for an obviously masculine guy to have such a large collection of Teddy bears, but doesn’t mention this to him, and actually is quite impressed by his sensitive side.

They share a bottle of wine and continue talking and, after a while, she finds herself thinking, ‘Oh my God! Maybe this guy could be the one! Could he be the future father of my children?’

She turns to him and kisses him lightly on the lips. He responds warmly. They continue to kiss; the passion builds; and he romantically lifts her in his arms and carries her into his bedroom where they rip off each other’s clothes and make hot, steamy love.

She is so overwhelmed that she responds with more passion, more creativity, more heat than she has ever known.

After an intense, explosive night of raw passion with this sensitive guy,they lie there together in the afterglow. The woman rolls over, gently strokes his chest and asks coyly, “Well, how was it?”

The guy gently smiles at her, strokes her cheek, looks deeply into her eyes, and says:

“Help yourself to any prize from the middle shelf.”

Yes, for Tripoli, 700Ks from Benghazi.

Of course the real reason for the security shortfall is ignored.

My good mate told me the Homai Te Pakipaki show on Television is sponsored by the Jenny Craig weight watch outfit.
I had a brief look at the programme and decided that somebody was pulling my tit.
Or, am I getting the wrong end of the stick?

Putin invaded a neighbouring country, annexed part of its territory, and supplied thugs and terrorists with weapons, which ended up bringing down a civilian airliner. If you’re talking popular support among thugs and psychos, then perhaps you are right.

Putin did far less than what the USA would have done in similar circumstances and with far less loss of life, Kosovo anyone? And as far as airliners being shot down, as tragic as it was, imagine if it was actually the Russian military that did it, refused to apologize, and then decorated the bastard that issued the order to shoot it down – because that is exactly what the USA did.
There is unprecedented support for Putin right now all around the world, despite all the bluster and bs from the MSM.

And, in spite of the propaganda, American strikes on ISIS are still an order of magnitude greater than any Russian strikes.

So what? you completely missed the point. Putin has gained the initiative in several key ways, this has never happened in the post cold war world. If you can’t understand the gravity of that then you should probably contemplate it until you do.

Patricia — the strongest hurricane ever recorded — barreled closer and closer Friday morning to Mexico’s Pacific coast, where residents have been told to brace for its 200-mph sustained winds and torrential rains.
Track the storm here

The Miami-based meteorological center, in its 10 a.m. CT (11 a.m. ET) advisory, warned of a “potentially catastrophic landfall … in southwestern Mexico” late that afternoon or early evening. While its strength could fluctuate, “Patricia is expected to remain an extremely dangerous Category 5 hurricane through landfall.”

Patricia has potential to cause massive death and destruction over a large swath of the Mexican Pacific coast, including the tourist hot spots of Puerto Vallarta and Acapulco.

Citing observations by hurricane hunters, Patricia is “the strongest hurricane on record in the National Hurricane Center’s area of responsibility (AOR) which includes the Atlantic and the eastern North Pacific basins,” according to a Friday morning forecast discussion.

THIS WILL MAKE YOUR DAY.
MORE NANNY SHIT FROM THE NATIONAL PARTY.

The days of dropping pithy curses at work could be numbered with a workplace safety expert saying a change in government guidelines will make employers clean up the cussing.

Workplace bullying expert Allan Halse said it will be potentially easier for bosses to be pinged by workers who are offended by swearing.

And there are already cases involving earthy professions such as firefighting which could end up closing the door on swearing.

The move to wash workers’ mouths out with soap come in a week in which a Waikato mayor conceded he used the term w****r and a Hamilton builder was ordered to pay up in an employment case after he used the f-word in a text to a worker he called a ‘baby’.

But while some are calling a clean-up political correctness gone mad Halse said the days of cursing like a sailor are ‘last-century’ and people shouldn’t expect to be able to use offensive language around others.

Halse said a change in workplace bullying guidelines in 2014 removed the need for employees to prove intent when it came to bullying behaviour. This means that workplaces with bad language were more vulnerable to a workplace bullying complaint from an employee even if the language wasn’t directed at an individual.

“If someone’s on the receiving end of those [words] and it is repeated and has a detrimental impact, that’s how you get to the bullying threshold, even suggestive glances or dirty looks,” he said.

“The person who’s the recipient of it, is the person who decides it’s ok. You can offend people without intending to.”

“The [male-dominated jobs] are where you have isolated groups of people that are living in the last century, they’ve never reached civilisation. They’re still behaving in a way that is foreign to sophisticated society, it’s just not acceptable [to swear in the workplace] anymore,” he said.

Halse said he had been involved with work like firefighting and ambulance crewing which developed cultures that often included salty language.

“A lot of the staunch blokes think it’s ok for people to be rough and swear and do all that stuff, and it’s not.”

Halse said he was no puritan and grew up in the country where his choice of vocabulary would offend the unoffendable.

“I could be as bad as anybody else, I was brought up with four brothers and no sisters and we were rough as old boots, we were country bumpkins, so it’s not until you actually get in amongst society, that you realise there are behaviours that you have to comply with.

“Just because we’re big and strong, doesn’t mean that we want to be called a w****r or a whole bunch of names.”

Waikato District Fire Commander Roy Breeze said like any other organisation, they have their challenges.

“Yes you get a unique culture [within the New Zealand Fire Service] because people are literally living together, particularly in a stressful environment like emergency services, but that doesn’t give anyone reason to offend,” he said.

“We do not tolerate any bullying or words that can create offence within the group or external to the group.”

Workplace bullying just as prevalent as domestic violence, according to forum

Waikato Registered Master Builders Association president Steve Ross, said policy set by the “PC brigade” is already having a detrimental effect to the building industry.

“As far as PC discussions go, we are going a bit over the top, where these young guys seem to be wrapped up in cotton wool, they want to be paid $50 an hour when they’ve just left school and have no skills whatsoever, but they think that the world owes them something and they have every right under the sun,” he said.

Ross said swearing is commonplace among trades, but generally workers are encouraged not to swear around customers.

“The whole industry is trying to tidy up their behaviour and the way they talk, especially if every second word’s a swear word. It’s not appropriate anymore,” he said.

Employment law specialist Andrea Twaddle, said the workplace environment and its culture and customs were considered when looking into any allegations of inappropriate language.

She said the tipping point will often be whether the comment is directed at a person or whether it’s conversational.

Waikato University linguist lecturer Dr Andreea Calude, said language changes all the time and it was about context.

She said when one person swears, the meaning that they associate with the word may not be the meaning another associates.

“There’s nothing about the sounds of swear words together that causes us some sort of unpleasant feeling, or the spelling, it’s all convention,” she said.

LITTLE BY LITTLE WE CAN GET USED TO ANYTHING.

An aspiring criminal lawyer who came to New Zealand as a refugee from Afghanistan was turned away from a job interview because of her Muslim headscarf.

Fatima Mohammadi, 20, a former deputy head girl at Kelston Girls’ College who featured in her hijab on the college billboard that sits on a main Auckland thoroughfare, said it was the first time she’d been subjected to such discrimination.

Yesterday, the Finance Minister, speaking at a social housing conference in Wellington, said the Government would come under huge political pressure to provide assistance to middle-income families if interest rates rose.

“As households get a bit stretched in meeting the rising cost of housing, it inevitably creates pressure for Government to lift the cash transfer programmes,” Mr English said.

He said that in the mid-2000s, interest rates of 8 to 9 per cent meant the Government had to compensate by making big increases in Working for Families subsidies and by introducing interest-free student loans.

The Government would rather “get the market right” than have to provide more assistance to families.

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11534278

So Bill justifying interest free student loans.

No wonder we are fucked up.
