   One Caption Contest Per Child?

   As Farrar cunningly created a meta-meta caption contest with a screenshot from “The Standard”, the space time continuum began to warp dangerously…

     Vote!
     Some would say that Farrar already creates dangerous warping.

   Why did Farrar choose an pear-shaped, overweight kiwi as a mascot?

   Oh …….!

     Strangely fitting, when you look at the little icon version of it up by the address bar, without so much detail looks like a bit of an*ahem* “coiler” on a computer keyboard, how fitting is that!

     There are better things to be offended at about Farrar than his weight.

   To be fair to Farrar he says this:

   Congrats to Labour for their first birthday. I think it has been a great initiative, and have enjoyed interacting with Labour MPs there. I check it out almost every day. By comparison I check out the National MPs combined blog site around once a month, if that. I can only handle reading so many posts about the opening some local school hall without wanting to blow my brains out.

   Amen to that!

     I haven’t been there for months. These are gems!

     Craig Foss – who I had never heard of before – appears to undertake various work experience days, including fruit picking http://nationalmps.co.nz/NationalNews/NewsArticle/tabid/233/Default.aspx?ArticleID=1414 and at a PostShop.
     http://nationalmps.co.nz/NationalNews/NewsArticle/tabid/233/Default.aspx?ArticleID=1425. I would insult 9 year olds if I said it sounded like it was written by an 9 year old. Perhaps this is why the unemployment rate is still so high – too many Nat MPs working for free!

     Aaron Gilmore explains what to do if your holiday home has bad cell coverage http://nationalmps.co.nz/NationalNews/NewsArticle/tabid/233/Default.aspx?ArticleID=1392. Those damned poor people with their rented properties right beside cell towers have it so easy!

     Melissa Lee makes a nice post about a Korean language speech competition. http://nationalmps.co.nz/NationalNews/NewsArticle/tabid/233/Default.aspx?ArticleID=1502 The winner wanted to become a teacher – “Not just to teach a subject but to provide the warmth that encourages motivation in her students.” So motivation – what National Standard tests for that?

     And he also said this:

     “I could point out I have managed to blog more by myself than 35 MPs combined (and it is their job, not a hobby like for me) but that would be churlish”

     Really I think it’s the other way around. MPs are paid to govern etc, and Farrar is paid to be National’s media mouthpiece.

   sprout, I have to say that sometimes you remind me of an evil genius….

   Classic stir. Easy stocking filler on both sites…

   National caucus were told by Winz to dumb down their blog, as by being smart , connected and on top of their game they would make their front bench look bad

     Probably explains the deterioration at the sewer as well…. Oh no – that is Act rather than National, eh right!.

   With regard to the “Caption Contest” over at DPF’s blog,

   I think this comment wins:

   Typical Labour, Phil Goff in charge, yet invisible.

   Where’s Wally .found him.

   & finally;

   TradeMe advertisement: ‘For Auction: Failed Political Party (In)Action Figures, Mixed Set, Some Bent. Rare and Unusual Collection. Unlikely to be Repeated. No Reserve. Items guaranted to be Inflexable, Immovable and incapable of Thought.

   “Rare and Unusual Collection” Ohh yes!
   “Unlikely to be Repeated” Look’s like it at the moment!

     Perfect example of the right. Their assumption that they can actually sell people.
