    BP Oil Spill – Clarke & Dawe lighter look at BP - by frog



    Sometimes it takes a bit of humour to point out the fallacies in our thinking. Do you think self regulation, which is the policy that Crown Minerals and Gerry Brownlee espouse, is the best way to manage our petroleum resources? Do you think that a few more regs about how many battons need to be [...] read more

    Fake DOC signs: Naughty, but funny - by frog



    For some Friday amusement, fake DOC signs have been sprouting up in Southland like truffles. “The signs were either an elaborate prank or a message to the tourism industry to not muscle in on the recreationists”. read more

    The Coaly Moleys - by frog



    Another laugh out loud video from Greenpeace Australia. It seems that Rudd wants to pay $1.2 billion in subsidies to the coal industry as part of their emissions trading scheme! At least when we subsidise our polluters, it is because they are trade exposed. Export coal isn’t covered by Kyoto. So what’s up? read more

However, when it comes to social services, many Americans would enjoy much greater peace of mind over the border in Canada. Or New Zealand. Anecdotally, I understand that we have had quite a wave of Bush refugees in the last few [...] read more
