Monthly Archives for April 2005

It was a very good month. Dig in. Every entry is a classic.

I have Hope - how about you?

The Green Party and LOOP Recordings Aot(ear)oa have collaborated yet again on the fourth and final Green Room album, Green Room 004: Hope. And it rocks.
I managed to get my hands on a pre-release version and have been listening to it non-stop. Especially since it has my favourite song of all time (and [...]

Good shit!

Friend sent me this (sorry don’t know source)
German police puzzled by Bush poo-flags
Poo Baffles German Police
Police in Germany are hunting pranksters who have been sticking miniature flag portraits of US President George W. Bush into piles of dog poo in public parks. Josef Oettl, parks administrator for Bayreuth, said: This has been going on for [...]

There’s a global oil crisis stupid!

Sorry for quietness at my end, recovered from injury, now have the flu *sigh*
OK but I was walking through town earlier and I saw something that really raised my ire. There’s a new advertising service in Wellington (well, not sure how new) called AdonWheels and it makes me so angry.
As a society, we are [...]

More on sweatshops

I posted last month about Nike doing the ‘look we’re sustainable!’ thing. And I read through frogblog that Salient pitted the left against the right on boycotting product from sweatshops. Good to see that the questions are being asked in more and more public forums.
But it’s not good enough to say ‘don’t buy [...]

New blog

A very dear friend of mine is on a plane today to go to Aceh to work with Caritas for two and a half weeks. He has set up a blog to document his travels and will hopefully be posting reasonably frequently. He will also be posting up photos. For those regular [...]

New book

Last night I started reading Cunt: A Declaration of Independence.
One word, wow!
I have read about a sixth of it (reasonably thick book) and I am astounded as to how cool it is. I came into it with an advantage of already having a deep political understanding of the word but it is blowing my [...]

Ribbit

The Green’s new blog frogblog has gone live today.
Frog’s release below:
Hopping around the corridors of power
Well, I have to say that the Green Parliamentary Office is much more fun when all the MPs aren’t here.
I’ve finally worked out how to type with my pads, so now I can hop into my self-appointed role as the [...]

More on nitrous

Anderton’s release here. Herald story. And Stuff story.
So yeah it is the Medicines Act that this is happening under. This has come from a Crown Law decision that under the MA, nitrous for sale as a recreational drug is illegal. However, there are still other ways it can be sold, ie [...]

The relevance of kids

Span has a thread going about the relevance of breeding habits. I must say I totally agree. If it is such a big deal, how come it’s only now we have a female PM?
And I must say, the argument that being childless means your out of touch of the realities of parents doesn’t [...]
