I can only hope the buyers will actually learn something from Dr Seuss they obviously missed out growing up.
Check out Tamaki National MP Simon O'Connor crowing over a flood of Dr Seuss book orders owning the woke censors ... as if all the money isn't going to the 'censors'! Reverse boycott, drown them in money? https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=...
National Party voters and caucus will be drooling with joy! 1) A fresh white business-as-usual man with no political history compared with 2) All the other Nat contenders and their ugly searchable political history - and single-digit preferred PM ranks.
I would like to know - if the RW got their wish and got Ardern to resign over this media shitshow, who else in NZ politics would anyone possibly want to lead? https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/mediawatch/audio/2018706655/preferred-pm-polling-s-...
Thus why trial by media is a joke. All the media (or the opposition) needs to be is exciting and popular each day - right or wrong. A real trial has some responsibility to get all the facts in order and then draw a conclusion.
The comments on the full video on Youtube are depressing, to say the least...
Oh, I'm not really into Santa and our kids never 'believed' because who needs that weird complication in raising kids? https://minimalistmum.blogspot.com/2010/12/keeping-santa-simple.html But since hired Santas aren't going away anytime soon because of my ...
(sigh) as in article.... 'He elaborated on his comments in the article, saying he didn't want children to notice Santa's boobs and would instead dress up female applicants as Santa's helpers in a "little skirt and top"." Creepy and sexist. Santa's helpers ...
I totally get that traditionally St Nick is male, etc, and change is Super Hard for some to even consider. I also get that the news is really about the creepily sexist comments. But I genuinely wonder what would happen if you gave kids the choice between ...
The Saudis had clear links to the 9/11 mass murders that were never seriously investigated (commission LOL), but GW Bush has yet to admit or be held accountable for his protectionism. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/jul/16/911-report-release-saudi...
Lest we forget, Simon O'Connor is the one who brought up euthanasia to score political points on Jacinda over youth suicide. His wife was allegedly the teacher who played the creationist video for her students. I'd like to see a new MP for Tamaki, but not ...
I think it's time National admitted that decent blokes and blokettes just don't fit into today's National party. Decent people recognise NZ's inequalities and the need to change to secure the future for economic winners and victims alike.
I want a policy on restrictions and transparencies in political funding! Keep turning over the rotting pile...
Our children's primary school had a program to teach some German to all the kids each week, and it was set up by some locals (whom I know personally). In 2014, the Government announced funding for ALLIS, which only applies to Asian languages. Because no ...
We just got delivered a shiny paper newsletter from the local MP Simon O'Connor including a wee puff piece on Bridges as the new leader - will be amusingly awkward if Bridges is rolled before some people even get to read the news :-)
No problem and great article. I'm just burned out on the topic...
It's Naomi Klein please, not Kline as you have twice. Cheers!
I didn't know who Ben Shapiro was before. Now I do. I don't feel improved for it. https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Ben_Shapiro
He claimed several times not ever to have been that wasted, including the outrageously disrespectful rebounding of the question onto his questioner, video included in link. http://time.com/5409176/kavanaugh-apologizes-senator-klobuchar-black-out-drunk/
For some reason I just imagined what Judge Judy would have done with Kavanaugh's stupid 'weak stomach' excuses. :-D
Kavanaugh's testimony was insulting. 1. (Unlike Ford) All of his answers were clearly rehearsed to avoid any truth accidentally spilling out. When a question got really specific and tough, he ignored it, made a speech, or attacked the questioner in way ...
I wish being wrong deterred National voters, but they don't care about the facts, certainly when it's National's failure to adhere to their own conservation ruling. All they want is simpleminded ammunition to appear in the news! The petition has appeared ...
PLEASE don't even hint at blaming the Greens for the failure of the public and the government to care about environmental issues. That makes me almost physically ill to read, considering how the Greens and other activists have been the abused Cassandra for...
Not suggesting we all just chug down water straight from the roof! Here's a more considered response... http://www.qualityplanning.org.nz/images/documents/QP_resources/Reference_Library/Waste/RoofWaterinUrbanAreas1.pdf
Water is definitely undervalued in NZ. A national plan should also promote rooftop water collection in urban areas instead of pushing all homeowners onto reticulated systems - a win win for supplying water and keeping excess rainwater from pouring over non...
I voted yes on that poll, because I want National to be out of govt for as long as possible.
The Auckland City Council has the law on the side of what you call their 'beliefs' - for the cake maker, the opposite is true. So they are not comparable.
Phil Goff has the law on the side of what you call his 'beliefs' - for the cake maker, the opposite is true. So not the same.
LOLOL While a PERSONAL 'truth in advertising' law might be really useful, especially around here, no, that wasn't in the least what I was suggesting. Reread from start.
