Clark Taking Time Off From Time Off

Helen Clark, on her annual European vacation has taken time off from time off to criticise John Key for taking time off.

"The rest of the world is aware there's an economic crisis on, they are aware there's a huge international crisis in Gaza, and the New Zealand government is on holiday," she said.

Whilst it is obvious to Labour voters that Helen Clark would have solved both of these issues by now, what isn't obvious is that Helen Clark obviously thinks that John Key is the entire government of New Zealand.

That may have been the case under Helen Clark, but we have moved away from a dictatorship, and last I looked the size of the bureaucracy rivals a decent sized refugee camp.

Although, with the announcement that the Cullen Fund has lost 25% of its value, maybe John Key will cancel his holiday and rush home to attend to a crisis he can actually do something about.

At that point, Clark would have to take time off from her holiday to urge John not to be so bloody anal that he has to rush home and create lots of media attention by attending to the financial mess with Cullen's name all over it. "No John, just have that holiday with your family. You deserve it."

Actually, it turned out to be a good move naming it the Cullen fund. Now we know who to blame. It's like writing your name on the wall, in your own blood, at the crime scene. How stupid is that?

Maybe the Cullen Fund has been losing in money because it invested in Hamas? The Greens call this "ethical investing". The Greens have strange ideas like this all the time.

What idiot would invest in Hamas? Surely, any fool could see that home made rockets is such a boutique market, there's no real profit. The returns policy alone is a killer. Ship out one rocket, get 10 back. All of them bigger. Wow. Let's do it again.

Although, I see big benefits for NZ taking in 10,000 Palestinian refugees.

I'm thinking tunnels. If we renamed the North Shore "New Egypt" we could clear up Auckland traffic with 3 new tunnels in six months, given the famed Palestinian ability to construct tunnels with only a shovel and UNRWA funding.

That would only get them warmed up. How about one under the Cook Strait? We could call it the Gaza Memorial Highway. I'm assuming Gaza will also be six feet under by the middle of next week, so it kind of works.

Solutions everywhere. Maybe Helen Clark was right! Maybe John Key can save the world?

But as far as New Zealand goes, can he fix the mess Clark created in the first place?

Are you on holiday Helen, or is this a self imposed exile?

  1. You're full of great ideas today Zen. Make sure you ask Key for a job when he gets back from holiday.
