she was actually referring to the UN sanctioned military intervention 2011 ( which BTW received widespread bi partisan congressional support )

Stephieboy, Obama got NO congressional approval to start fighting in Libya, which he was supposed to. It is yet another thing he did off his own bat. In contrast, Bush got congressional approval TWICE to go to war.

I sense that you’re hearing those “THEY’RE OUT TO GET ME” voices again. And, in your case, playing with a John Key blow-up doll is definitely a bad idea – it could trigger a reaction or, even worse, a complete meltdown.

Nervertheless renderer and Capn, you have to admit NZ’s credit position has significantly changed since Key got in, what with ChCh and Akld prices.

This is not to say Key was responsible for ChCh although he certainly was for Akld.

But nevertheless, if you wanted to place NZ into the same debt-laden position as the other Western nations are, with the citizens beholden to the too-big-to-fail, then he’s been an excellent stewart, hasn’t he. The sheeple don’t even know what’s happened.

For instance did you know that we have the same legislation as the other Westerns nations have, that if a too big to fail institution goes insolvent, then the depositors don’t get their money, instead they get shares in the blessed institution that’s too precious to allow to fall over? Key got that through a few years ago, it came into force in most other Western nations Jan 1st this year. And not a squeak from the media. In fact it’s probably news to most of you.

Perhaps you need to educate yourself so you know things like that, so you have some context when passing judgement on Wiki’s comment. Sorry if you already knew that, but I bet you didn’t.

For a proud, small and passionate nation such as New Zealand, I am astounded at how bad we are at celebrating our global business success.

Don’t get me wrong: rugby is important. I more than anyone love the electric vibe that circulates through our great nation the day after an All Blacks victory, especially if that win relates to the Rugby World Cup.

But here’s the thing: rugby, or more broadly sports, is only one part of New Zealand, so why don’t we celebrate anything else?

Okay, that’s not quite fair, the arts get a bit of coverage too. Lorde gets plenty of kudos, as does Sam Neill, as does Sir Peter Jackson. All incredibly deserving Kiwis.

On the global stage, however, business is forgotten. Kiwis are extremely poor at celebrating insanely good business success.

http://www.stuff.co.nz/business/opinion-analysis/78006922/jake-millar-this-article-is-not-about-sport–read-it-anyway

As the co-founder and chief executive of Unfiltered, I am currently in New York where I have been interviewing some of the most amazing business people in the world, including Y Combinator President Sam Altman, Basecamp Founder David Heinemeier Hansson and Unity Technologies CEO John Riccitiello.

But let me throw a few other names at you.

Glenn Renwick, Greg Foran, Dan Ammann, Sarah Robb O’Hagan, Josh Bayliss.

Any of them ring a bell? I would be very surprised if they did.

Glenn Renwick is a Dunedin born Kiwi who is an old boy of Otago Boys’ High School. He is currently the chief executive of Progressive Corporation in the United States which is number 153 on the Fortune 500.

Dan Ammann, a University of Waikato graduate, is the president of General Motors (GM), a role he has held since January 2014.

Greg Foran, also a Kiwi, is the president and chief executive of Walmart US, and is responsible for the strategic direction and performance of more than 4000 Walmart stores.

Sarah Robb O’Hagan, who had her start at the University of Auckland, was until recently the president of Equinox, a global fitness and lifestyle brand across the US and the United Kingdom with 18,000 staff, before leaving to launch her own startup, ExtremeYou.

Sarah is the former president of Gatorade, general manager of marketing at Nike, director of marketing at Virgin Atlantic Airlines, and has been named among Forbes Magazine’s Most Powerful Women in Sports multiple times..

.And I am not alone. On the Unfiltered Facebook page, we recently posted a link to our Unfiltered interview with Josh Bayliss, with the headline: “From Mt. Albert Grammar To CEO Of The Virgin Group By 38.” This became our most viewed interview ever.

If New Zealand celebrated, and I mean truly celebrated, amazing business leaders such as Glenn Renwick, Greg Foran, Sarah Robb O’Hagan, Dan Ammann, Josh Bayliss, Brendan Lindsay, Hamish Kennedy and Peter Cooper, kids would have more to aspire to.

Adults in business would also have much more to aspire to, rather than becoming lazy, content employees who suck up shareholders’ money, as is so often the case within New Zealand corporates.

Really good read and something we should do.

Agree on all that. And Straker was portrayed as an utterly single-minded hard-arse who was going to kill aliens whatever it took. No second-guessing or self-examination or guilt. That degree of cold-bloodedness is still rare on broadcast TV. He’d fit right in on Game of Thrones though.

When I was a kid my friend had the Dinky models and I was so jealous.

The Moonbase fighters with the triggered nose missile??? Yah – exactly the same here. I always hesitated to ask mum and dad to buy me one because they were so bloody expensive. Had to stick with TB1 and TB2 – in plastic.

Did someone mention goats?

The domestic goat (Capra hircus) was the first animal to train humans into protecting them full-time. The species is believed to have been first domesticated around 10,000-12,000 years ago in both the Zagros Mountains of modern-day Iran and in Anatolia along the Euphrates River. Since the dawn of time, through the modern day, man has admired the beauty of the goat.

Scientists believe that humans have evolved from a species of large Pliocene-era goats.

Conservative Christians often buy goats for Malawi orphans whereas liberals, such as Madonna, prefer to keep Malawi orphans as household pets.

Santa Claus was alleged to have once ridden a Yule Goat, but this was later disproved as a revisionist myth created by neopagans who hate Christmas.

The goat she is a tasty beast, but smelly
There’s good eating on a goat, a staple in Africa, the Caribbean, parts of the Middle East, and in Dixon, New Mexico. Goat is the lunch that carries itself to the picnic.

In Nigeria goat-head stew is a popular and stylish dish.

Goat cheese is famous, especially French chèvre and Greek feta. Goat cheese tastes delicious on pizza, specifically white pizza… with red peppers and grilled chicken. Awww yeah.

Goats are often associated with Bacchanalia, which continues to the present day. The South African vintner Goats Do Roam Winery offers such selections as The Goatfather, Goats-in-Villages, and Goat Door Chardonnay.

You may now kiss the goat.

There has been much debate about what term to use for the union of goat and (usually) man. Some have opposed “marriage” as diluting the traditionally non-bestial nature of the institution. Also, many oppose granting spousal rights to goats. Others have proposed “covenant” unions, in which the relationship cannot be broken (except in times of famine).

Sometimes it has been necessary to use the law to help men “do the right thing”. In one case, after being caught having relations with a goat named Rose, a Sudanese man was obliged to marry her. Unfortunately, the BBC has recently reported that the goat died after choking on a plastic bag. The goat was apparently female so, to the relief of many, there is no suggestion that the relationship may have been homosexual.

Goats, themselves, subscribe to a polygamous marriage system, in that a billy goat will control a small group of nannies (termed “the harem”), and mates with any of his nannies who he discovers are in oestrus. Polygamy in animals (goats or otherwise) is popularly anthropomorphized as having the dominant male lording over the members of his harem, but, in goats, at least, the billy goat actually has very little ability to control the behavior of his wives beyond limiting who gets to mate with them (namely, him). It is possibly of note that goats have pretty eyes and some have beautiful eyelashes. This may explain some of the events described above. Possibly.

For those wishing to begin a relationship with a goat there are goat dating sites with goat personal ads. These enable you to find the goat of your dreams and start a long and fulfilling relationship.

Satyrs, often a human/goat hybrid, are the ultimate end of the evolutionary process on planet Earth.

I think my friend had the ground-based mobiles, which could fire missiles. Very cool.

I think Straker was sometimes shown as conflicted. He had to choose between his son’s life and the mission in one episode.

The actor, Ed Bishop, loved wearing the Straker wig to conventions,but said the gull-wing car was very difficult to drive.

Once upon a time, as long-time Kiwiblog readers will recall, DPF used to publish “popular” search terms. For some reason “penguin sex” always featured prominently on the list.

DPF never traced the IP back to the individual Kiwiblog commentator, or if he did, he protected the commentator’s privacy. That leaves the rest of us to speculate on who would be interested in penguin sex.

Any suggestions?

Interestingly enough, the Bible seems to be replete with goat references.

The scapegoat
Leviticus 16 tells us about the scapegoat. Two goats were to be selected and lots would be thrown to see which would be sacrificed as a “sin offering” and which would be released into the desert. Perhaps surprisingly the released goat was the scapegoat and the other one got the joy of being sacrificed.

Tamar
Tamar was Onan’s widow – he who gave his name that pastime beloved of teenage boys and others. While pretending to be a prostitute to seduce her father-in-law she was promised a young goat for her services.

The joy of goats
The writer of the Song of Solomon seems to have had a definite thing about goats. When talking about his girlfriend’s hair he often comes up with: “Your hair is like a flock of goats descending from Gilead.” To be fair to other animals he also says things like: “Your teeth are like a flock of sheep coming up from the washing.” So this may be an animal fixation in general and not really goat-centric.

Judas goat
With the recent discovery of the Coptic text the Gospel of Judas, Judas’ actual role has been called into question. What’s not questioned is that he had at least one goat.

Creationist views on goats
Creationists believe that goats co-existed with dinosaurs, because goats appear in historic hieroglyphs.

Goats are very important to creationists— the Bible mentions them over 170 times! God made goats out of leftover cow parts, on the sixth day of Creation. This is similar to the process still used for making hot dogs. Goats are specifically mentioned in the Bible, therefore we know that they exist.

God regularly calls for goats to be sacrificed on altars by having their throats cut and blood drained. It is still a mystery as to what goats did to become the object of God’s loving wrath (though, some suggest it was because the ancient Jews thought that goats made a perfectly acceptable substitute for humans).

Noah brought seven or fourteen goats onto the Ark, but unfortunately, one of the male goats was gay. Noah implemented a program of reparative therapy before he offered his burnt offerings to the Lord. The goats were able to live an appropriate life, and were fruitful and multiplied. God Bless!

I don’t think I can voter Labour anymore. They really don’t do anything for me, and are so stupid, they make announcements and give the whole media of New Zealand ammo to shoot them with. I’m talking immigration. Is Andrew a complete and utter dick or what. I mean did he think for a minute. A second on this.

In a climate where the press are looking to avenues to denigrate the opposition and have never written a pro piece since I can remember on any party Not National or right wing leaning, Andrew blathers on about immigration. When he does speak it’s a complete cock up and gets twisted all over the media with everyone laughing at him.
Seriously needs a slap to the head.

Between Labours multitude of own goal gaffs on and on stupidity of character and nationals piss poor performance on running the Nation you are wrecking the place.

If you cannot get it together and put up a decent publicity campaign, mindful of the press and attractive to voters on a professional level like Keys machine, fuck off.

If that sounds mean Labour needs it. Needs a bloody good kick up the arse, you send me multitudes of begging letters wanting money for this and that.. Money..

Do I have any Money.

Then you just do stupid things like bring up immigration when your opposition. Real popular subject, a favorite amongst the press of NZ who get a free kick labours leader and party card.

Am I wrong?

Get Carol Roszka talking about why she does not want Hillary Clinton in the White House, and it is hard to get her to stop. Roszka vents about how Clinton’s handling of the Benghazi attacks was disgraceful, her feminism is phony and her ambition is off-putting.

“She wants to be elected at all costs,” said Roszka, a 63-year-old from suburban Detroit who often votes Republican, as she did in last week’s primary.

Yet Roszka says when she votes in November, it will very likely be for Clinton.

Donald Trump has driven her to it. “I do not want Trump under any circumstances,” she said of the New York billionaire who looks headed to appear on the ballot alongside Clinton, after both candidates won a round of key states Tuesday. “So much so that I will not vote for the Republican Party at all if he runs.”

Roszka is part of what you might call Clinton’s coalition of the unwilling. They are the independent and moderate Republican women who don’t like Clinton – some even despise her – but are so repulsed by Trump that they are already preparing to vote for the Democrat they anticipate will be on the ballot in November if that’s what it takes to keep him out of office. Either that, or sit out the election altogether.

Goats!!!
Several years ago I attended a spit roasted goat session on the Orthodox Easter in Greece. They had goat as they could not afford lamb. I much preferred lamb. I said to the missus that I should have brought a dressed lamb from New Zealand with me. She says that after five hours of cooking the lamb slowly I would be mothered, or is that mismothered, by vast quantities of retsina, ouzo and raki.

National should be being ripped apart on various fronts, important fronts, yet here we have a bunch of morons incapable even of ripping apart a local day care centre let alone central govt, combined with a media so profoundly broken it’s like Old Yellar with cancer at 90 who just got hit by a car and had to limp 25 miles to get home.

People who assess politics on only one side of the division express sheer delight, but this is actually a travesty of democracy unfolding before our eyes, because it let’s sub-standard solutions go through, with no oversight, no improvement, and no opposition.

Idiots who hallucinate National’s doing a good job simply because they’re really good at being poll-driven fruitcakes, have forgotten what we used to say when Hulun was doing precisely the same thing.

Frankly, given this is the most astute political blog in NZ, the dearth of intelligence here is staggering. Most of you might as well give up, you’re about as helpful to the advancement of the art as tits on a bull.

PC stupidity – ‘NZ has an obesity problem’. Un-pc truth – ‘NZ has a brown problem’.
NZ has the third highest rate of obesity in the world.
Ok – take out PI & Maori. Now where does it rank ?
There’s plenty of fat whites too – and a few others. I ain’t blind or colour blind.
Think about fat PIs – now think Asians. Wow – just wow. Imagine if Asians were as fat as PIs. Waddling around in slow motion struggling to breathe – huffing and puffing just standing up. My brain won’t even picture fat Asians. Jap sumo wrestlers.
PIs are sumo wrestlers – the big ones.
Forget taxes – it’s JAMBP. Just another mostly brown problem. It’s pretty fffking stupid to weigh 150-180kg+. Fattest people on earth. And there’s a few really really disgusting super obese white idiots. Not as many. I’d like to see the numbers, wouldn’t you ?
I’d like to see . . . the ethnic breakdown of people living in NZ who weigh more than 150kg. 80-90% brown ? And it’s a cultural factor thing. Otherwise – there wouldn’t be the different rates for different ethnic groups. Do you think that skin colours make you fatter or thinner ? I don’t even think Maori rates of obesity are as high as PI. PI are world beating eaters. PI just seem to love the blubber with pride – they are big mama whopper shockers – it’s just one after another after another – sickening mate. Puts me off eating – ironically.
What a lovely culture that I must find new ways to embrace and celebrate each and every day. I love diversity – so wonderful – 160kg – why, there’s twice as much of them to love. Aren’t I the luckiest ?
What the hell kind of underwear do you buy with a hula-hoop waist and gut ? It’s like making clothes for big game.

Just for a bit of balance – the brown boy ball players are the total opposite of course. Shaped like whip-ass and made out of pure fffk you up – they are deeply impressive physical specimens. Fit, natural size, develop great muscle – fantastic. Let’s face it – they generally out-do the white boys in terms of sheer physical shape and size. Look at rugby /league. Full of big brown beef. When you can look anything like that, why would you want to eat yourself into a disabled high health risk sumo blobtard ?

what else is going on ?

Only 18 years subsidised to live in Seatoun !!!!!
How heartless is NZ !

Russian political refugees – same house since 1998 arrival.
You’d love to see the numbers again for all the refugees – how many spend how long in state and council housing.
What did they think coming to NZ ? Everyone’s provided by right with their own life long state house rental ?

next – small stuff stupidity – 5kg frozen chicken packs called ‘catering packs’. No-one uses them for ‘catering’. It’s for home meals – duh. We might accept ‘family pack’. It suggests it’s ‘majoratively’ (yeah, I know) people cooking for some type of event or get together. Nah.

nextly – (I still know) you just hear nothing but mostly brown problems on the radio. I heard some 15 year old – that’s fifteen – commits serious crimes in Auckland. Cyf took him to Chch – it was Checkpoint. Yeah, ok – that explains a lot. At least it’s got no ads and other awful crap – here’s your traffic update – free-flowing nowhere, your life is wasted at car park pace, we’ll update you after you get another 500 metres up the road. I don’t know why they took the youth crim away to Chch – huh ? Ok – they did. And then – we can fly the family down to see him. Hello ? Has the world gone mad ? What the hell is all that about ? Jet set ferals ? Who do they think likely fffked up the punk kid in the first place ? Do him a favour – keep the family away.

And I mean really – the poor little flower – can’t see his family – the poor dear. Next time he thinks about being away from his family – think of the family of his victims – and think of his victims and what they went through. And he’s worried about not seeing mummy this week ? Get bent lowlife. What will this soft weak delicate little serious offending victim of society do without seeing mummy ? How ever will he cope ?
I wonder what would happen to him in Indonesia or China ?

Also on checkpointless – JC debating I think Nick Smith about water being free. Why can’t you charge Amatil for water ? They charge $2.50 for a bottle ? Nick Smith was saying how do you charge for rain – for water used on farmland – all kinds of stuff. How bloody stupid. Water meter for businesses ? Parts of the country have them – I wonder who uses the most ? Oh yeah – Nick said Amatil would use a tiny fraction compared to lots of other users. Shameful non-debate. How utterly pathetic. What great radio journalism. Nick Smith also said no-one charges for air. Don’t give them any ideas – that will be next.
