    The ball went off without a single hospital emergency case. Proving once again that it’s not the availability of alcohol or cars or choppers or knives or guns or blue toothbrushes that’s the problem.
    It’s the quality and type of drinker…..

    ‘Primary schools have disclosed controversial data about pupil achievement, with the surprise revelation that children in bigger classes and bigger schools get better grades.’

    No, really? How very odd….
    Odd that the teacher’s unions have been able for so long to get away with their “smaller class sizes” bullshit demands, despite vast amounts of evidence that the predictor of good performance isn’t, never has been and never will be class size. Just ask Singapore and China, for starters.
    Another union scam exposed. Again.

      My father is old enough to have attended a one room school house in rural Ohio.He said until 4th grade he shared a one room school house with 70-80 kids in grades K-12,it was heated with a cast iron wood stove in winter and transom doors and windows in summer.The only “modern convenience it had was a added on bathroom.
      The one teacher taught all those kids 5 subjects,everybody finished that school knowing how to read,write and do arithmetic plus had a firm grasp on history and basic science.

      Now today we have teachers like those in Chicago,highest paid in the nation,yet their students have the lowest test scores.

    Shock News : Australian Climate Change Has Nothing To With Your SUV and Red Choppers

    Apparently it is too much to expect that climate experts might actually know something about climate.

    Dutch Party

    Riot police have dispersed crowds of youths in a Dutch town after several thousand party-goers turned up after a teenager’s birthday invite on Facebook went viral.

    Six people were hurt, including three seriously, after violence broke out in the northern town Haren last night.

    Shops were vandalised and looted, a car set on fire, and street signs and lampposts damaged, according to reports.

    As police broke up the crowds, they were pelted with stones, bottles, bicycles and pots of flowers.

      And one cop with a pump action, loaded with #4, could have broken it up in nanoseconds, Robert. :twisted:
      But that would too..um..brutal, wouldn’t it? The Dutch are reaping the rewards of their idiot tolerance.

      With a move north on the cards, boats have been coming up in my trademe searches lately.

    At least boating up north won’t be like it is down your way…chipping ice off the rigging while looking for the Northwest Passage. :mrgreen:
    You’re going to feel becalmed up there in anything less than 60kts of wind.

    One doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry….
    ‘The left of New Zealand politics is just edging the right, revealed the latest Colmar Brunton opinion poll.

    The results show Labour, led by David Shearer, the Greens and Mana with 47 per cent support, just one point ahead of the current National – ACT – United Future arrangement.

    The poll indicates that were an election held now, the Maori Party could likely hold the balance of power.’

    KG.

    What we are witnessing in the Massachusetts Senate race seems to me to be what has been going on politically all around the Western nations, but in microcosm.

    This story that JWF brought to my attention (how Liawatha has been practicing law without a license) stirred rhetorical questions by both Jammie and his commenters.

    I commented on why the questions deserve deeper exploration. Such a discussion might help you break away more readers from the faux conservative kiwi blogs. God knows we need more on the Right to wake up.

    Pascal on 24/24/12 at 1:42 pm

    Two questions you and commenters have raised that really shouldn’t be simply ignored.

    1) Why did it take a blogger to expose this?
    2) Why didn’t she simply take advantage of the wiave-in procedure?

    Answer 1) RINOs [what I call SKUNCs] are notoriously nervous about exposing anything. They even fire their campaign workers when they take it upon themselves. Sometimes a RINO has to win because letting the Left win is so awful that we are happy to have a RINO in office, and count our blessings. The implications of this behavior is what loudly suggests that the moneyed interests are backing both parties but have to keep up appearances of a race. This way the RINO’s compromises when in office (as has Scott Brown) become a “what can you do?” acceptance by conservatives. The cronies win either way. The size of govt grows, but at a slower pace, and our shackles being tightened are only noticed by those with a long term view of what’s being done to us.

    Answer 2) For the Left, every time they get away with doing something a conservative would never get away with, it undermines the rule of law. So it’s a double thumb in the eye to conservatives and all constitutionally minded independents. Creeping destruction of the rule of law hastens the pendulum swing that could wind us up in a dictatorship. Statists love this.

    The questions raised here should not be simply viewed as rhetorical or not really having answers. In a world where Statism had been a creeping proposition for decades but is now galloping, the old rhetorical questions deserve closer discussion.
