Anti PC Hero: Murray Deaker

I have started a regular series called Dipshit of the Week and realise it is negative. The two previous winners of that were Greenpeace and Bob Harvey.

Many of the dipshit awards will be for PC nonsense.

This first in a positive series of Anti PC Hero will be awarded by my good self for individuals and groups who go beyond the call of duty, in the face of unpopularity, with the mung bean eating, tree hugging, whale loving, hairy arm pitted, homo/Lesbian, Maaaori worshipping, Labour/Green voting, kaftan wearing, chardonnay drinking, Prius driving, Global Warming loving, Al Gore types, who try to wipe the floor with their own form of Anit-PC Wet and Forget.

The inaugural winner is Murray Deaker, for risking the ire of his fellow broadcasters and those in the media who will give him hell over the next few weeks for employing Tony Veitch on one of his Sky TV sports shows this Wednesday.

What Veitch did or did not do certainly didn't deserve the treatment he has been handed out by his former employer TVNZ ,the rest of the PC media and the chromosome defficient Ugly Wimins movement.

I'm no big fan of his, I think he is a brain dead moron, but he deserves to work and Deaker is a pure saint for allowing him to.

Good on ya Deaks.

CSPAN: House & Senate Pass Final Version of 2009 Stimulus Bill (Full Debate & Transcript of Bill)

There is no accounting for stupidity but the Democrats have just passed the final version of the latest US "stimulus" package. Just like the last one it will not work but will in fact make things worse in the future.

Nevertheless, it is an important bill and should be given at least a cursory glance by most of us. Americans and outsiders as well.

It will effect us all.

Here you will find both debates on Video and full text of the bill. Links are below the following video.

Read/Watch it and weep.

The Definition of Insanity

The definition of insanity is, doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Albert Einstein

I have been mulling this opinion over for the last few months and think it is valid, simple and has a charming sort of 3rd form economics (14 yr old thinking for my foreign readers) approach to things.

Here goes.

Just what do Barrack Obama, Gordon Brown, Kevin Rudd and a whole host of other world leaders know that we don't?

I would argue, when it comes to the large sums of taxpayer dollars these imbeciles are doling out quicker than a rotund Wall Street banker in quicksand, that our leaders know very little indeed.

The answer to the Albert Einstein quandary is quite simple really and not as complex as those who dare to represent us might make out.

Why would one hand out very large sums of borrowed money to citizens to spend and "stimulate" economies when it is that very thing that got the globe and especially North America, in the proverbial in the first instance!

We must do the very opposite to this.

While not stopping spending entirely in the German or Japanese extreme, the answer to our current problems is to save.

Well duh !

Sufficient savings allows us to actually give us a real sense of wealth, rather than the plastic fantastic kind that contributed to this mess. That has to be paid back at some time and that time I would argue is now.

It is the same for individuals, business, large corporations and countries.

This is where reality and fantasy go in polar opposite directions and will probably have serious consequences somewhere else in the future.

What happens if you pile this much debt on top of debt to spend your way out of a problem caused by debt?

Well, eventually you have to pay that debt back.

So what Obama, Rudd, Brown et al are doing is postponing the inevitable and when that time comes the problem will be oh so more dire than it is currently.

Perhaps young Albert had something when he uttered those famous words that I posted above.

Here is another poignant ditty to end the lesson:

"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction". Albert Einstein

Sorry for the complexity of my simplicity but it had to be said.

Graffiti Crimes

A lot of people would strongly agree with me on the following and just as many would strongly disagree.

That doesn't matter, this is my opinion.

Today's decision in the Auckland High Court to sentence Bruce Emery to four years in jail for killing Pihema Cameron last year leaves most thinking people wondering is there any justice in this world.

When an individual such as this poor young 15 year boy is routinely out early in the morning getting high, drinking and destroying property, you have to wonder where his parents are.

When he is dead at 15 from the consequences of his own actions suddenly there are fingers of blame being pointed at everyone but those truly to blame-his parents and himself.

A poor innocent 50 year old mans reputation is ruined, a family in disarray and financially destroyed and he surely cannot return to his neighbourhood for threat of his safety.

It could well have been Emery's life taken instead of the boys, just like half a dozen people who died in the same area shortly before this case, some by the hand of teenage Maori boys.

Emery's sentence was far too tough.
