...and now another party...

...and this one's even sillier than the last Extremely Silly Party. This is a party searching for a name, and it has been formed to attract all the really silly people. They are already rolling up. Hone Harawira, Nandor Tanczos (alas minus the hilarious dreadlocks) sexy Sue Bradford (that's not her on the right, that's sexy Sue Kedgley) John Wacko Minto !! Matt McCarten and one or two other hopelessly deluded lefties...The party name they are most (un)likely to choose is The Really Politically Correct Party, which is a great shame, as all their utterances will be sooooo ideologically sound. But what a wonderful election we can look forward to...a Prime Minister enjoying record popularity with a rejuvenated right wing partner versus a moribund opposition Labour Party, a dispirited Maori Party, a flaky Green Party, a lost and abandoned Winston First Party looking for a space at the trough and now with this new exceptionally untalented vote splitter party yet without a name. STOP PRESS...it's now The Mana Party...destined of course to be an uninfluential and powerless minor party after the election.

Ahh democracy is wonderful...the November election will be more fun than the Fuhrer's birthday party!

Footnote...climate change is gone. The new term is Global Climate Disruption...from The Washington Times...There is no evidence that America is facing an increased risk from tornadoes based on human activity or carbon-dioxide emissions, but what if it is? Can we accept that risk? “What if global warming *does* cause more and more powerful tornadoes in the south?” asks The Atlantic. “What then?” This type of non-argument is typical of the reasoning the alarmist camp has been forced to employ as the factual basis for their pet theory crumbles. The questions the global-warming crowd should be asking themselves are: What if everything they have so deeply believed and trusted over the years turns out to be completely wrong? What if the belief system that has given their lives meaning for decades can no longer sustain its inner contradictions? What if their god dies? What then?
