Newspaper Cartoonist Fired for Political Artwork..
Former New Zealand Herald Political cartoonist Malcolm Evans was awarded the Qantas Media Awards 2003 Cartoonist of the Year.
His work caused controversy and resulted in him leaving the Herald.
In this short film, Evans presents something of the cartoonists craft - and showcases his art along with many of the cartoons that the New Zealand Herald refused to publish.
You may not like some of his comments, but it is worth a look.

It's Spud Time....
...the next few weeks are going to be busy. There shouldn't be too much disruption to this site.
News....
Let Freedom Yap. Jules on some California's driving laws.
MoD prepares to spend £500m on new fleet of armoured cars to protect troops in Afghanistan. About bloody time too. Our troops should have had them 5 years ago.
Austria races to the Right as nearly a third of voters back the extremists. What does Austria do ? Most of Europe is starting to head right.
Bradford & Bingley nationalisation will cost taxpayers £150bn. It shouldn't cost us a penny. They have assets and a pension fund. Use them to pay the savers.
US warship challenges Somalia pirates. Sod challenging. Blow them out of the water and reduce their home port to dust.
Sniper kills prisoner inside French jail. Now that's different.

How to save 4,973,800 dollars....
A president's pension currently is $191,300 per year until 80.
Assuming the next president lives to age 80. Sen. McCain would receive ZERO pension, since he would reach 80 at the end of two terms as president.
Sen. Obama would be retired for 26 years after two terms and would receive $4,973,800 in pension.
Therefore, it would certainly make economic sense to elect McCain in November.
*How's that for non-partisan thinking???

A Few thoughts to start the Week....
On the other hand, you have different fingers.
I just got lost in thought. It was unfamiliar territory.
Seen it all, done it all, can’t remember most of it.
Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don’t.
I feel like I’m diagonally parked in a parallel universe.
He’s not dead, he’s electroencephalographically challenged.
You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted, then used against you.
I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges.
Toot if you love peace and quiet.
Despite the cost of living, have you noticed how it remains so popular?
Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
It is hard to understand how a cemetery raised its burial cost and blamed it on the cost of living.
The 50-50-90 rule: Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there’s a 90% probability you’ll get it wrong.
It is said that if you line up all the cars in the world end to end, someone would be stupid enough to try and pass them.
You can’t have everything, where would you put it?
Latest survey shows that 3 out of 4 people make up 75% of the world’s population.
The things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those who got there first.
A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well.
It was recently discovered that research causes cancer in rats.
Everybody lies, but it doesn’t matter since nobody listens.
I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.

A cruise on the Pacific goes all wrong, the ship sinks, and there are only 3 Survivors; Damian, Darren and Deirdre. They manage to swim to a small island and they lived there for a couple of years doing what is natural for men and women to do.
After several years of casual sex, all the time, Deirdre felt absolutely horrible about what she was doing. She felt having sex with both Damian and Darren was so bad that she killed herself.
It was tragic but Damian and Darren managed to get through it and, after a while, nature once more took its inevitable course.
Well, a couple more years went by and Damian and Darren began to feel absolutely horrible about what they were doing.
So they buried Deirdre.

Now that's a novel way to cart hay..........
National Guardsmen help guide a rancher as he loads bundles of hay aboard a CH-47 Chinook helicopter to deliver to stranded livestock who have been trapped by the flooded salt-waters without food or fresh water since Hurricane Ike struck the Southwest coast of Louisiana.
The Sunday Best......what little there is.
Birmingham firm strikes Barack Obama presidential coin. Waste of good metal. I suppose they will become some sort of losers memorabilia.
Muslim sues Tesco over alcohol. I don't know which is worse, the dumbass muslim or the two bit lawyer who thinks he can make a quick buck from this bullshit.
China's new slave empire. And nothing will happen to stop it because our leaders are too scared to stand up to China.
US steps up Pakistan raids to thwart al-Qaeda 'October surprise' plot. Hit them where ever they are.
Barack Obama's team believes he can win by a landslide. More like buried by one.
Al-Qaeda bid to recruit inmates. Solitary confinement 24/7 should stop that.
Britain considers £9bn JSF project pullout. Just get rid of the MoD. The money wasted on that bunch of worthless pricks would pay for all sorts of new toys. The military are more than capable of looking after themselves and do not need a bloody ministry stuffing up the works.
Zuma’s rise puts whites to flight. A black president with strong communist connections, now where have I heard that before?
the Clarkypoos bit...
Don’t let banks lose your money – do it yourself.

Procrastinator's Creed.....
1. I believe that if anything is worth doing, it would have been done already.
2. I shall never move quickly, except to avoid more work or find excuses.
3. I will never rush into a job without a lifetime of consideration.
4. I shall meet all of my deadlines directly in proportion to the amount of bodily injury I could expect to receive from missing them.
5. I firmly believe that tomorrow holds the possibility for new technologies, astounding discoveries, and a reprieve from my obligations.
6. I truly believe that all deadlines are unreasonable regardless of the amount of time given.
7. I shall never forget that the probability of a miracle, though infinitesimally small, is not exactly zero.
8. If at first I don't succeed, there is always next year.
9. I shall always decide not to decide, unless of course I decide to change my mind.
10. I shall always begin, start, initiate, take the first step, and/or write the first word, when I get around to it.
11. I obey the law of inverse excuses which demands that the greater the task to be done, the more insignificant the work that must be done prior to beginning the greater task.
12. I know that the work cycle is not plan/start/finish, but is wait/plan/plan.
13. I will never put off until tomorrow, what I can forget about forever.
