Here is my latest University essay. The topic is tax, and I think I've done an alright job. Have a read and tell me what you think! 

From an article in today's Herald that looks at the National Party's advertising:

The Australian Tax Office is trying to mug Paul Hogan for millions, and he's pulled out the big knife to stop them.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

That, right there, represents the very best of humanity, and it is one of the great injustices that it has become part of popular culture to bash America.

I am currently doing a 'Public Policy' paper at uni. The lecturer's hobby horse is Climate Change, and what governments should do about it. Needless to say, he is firmly of the belief that the warming is man-caused. Read the following correspondence and judge for yourself. I have posted the lecturer's response as the first post.

So I've been umming and ahhing about whether to do this for a day or so now, and have finally decided to offer my university work up for the harsh judgement of SOLOists.

Samizdat Issue 9 is out... Finally!

Sorry about the wait. Work, study and sporting commitments put me way behind schedule. 

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Lindsay, happy birthday to you. (to the tune of "Happy Birthday")

Fantastic article on the Stuff website from the Dominion Post today.

Another month gone. STILL no global warming! I’m sitting here in Wellington freezing my butt off!

I was on my way home from a trip to the South Island yesterday when I grabbed a copy of the Christchurch Press.

Leonardo DiCaprio's girlfriend Bar Refaeli has launched another attack on her native Israel, bragging about dodging her country's mandatory military service.

I am one month older. So are you. The Earth is also one month older. I am still yet to see any effects of global warming. Maybe next month.

SOLO Press Release: SOLO Slams Commie Kids' Commissioner

For Immediate Release

SOLO Press Release

Water on the Brain?

The revelation by National Party Associate Health Spokesman Jonathan Coleman that Labour and Green members of the Health Select Committee wanted to ban all beverages but water from the workplace shows what a disgusting bunch of control freaks sit in our parliament, says SOLO (Sense of Life Objectivists) Principal Lindsay Perigo.

Coleman made the revelation to Perigo on the latter's breakfast session on Radio Pacific this morning.

Greetings Comrades!

In response to the Islamofascist threat - most recently sugar-coated by New Zealand's Islam Awareness Week - Richard Wiig has been appointed to the position of SOLO Jihad-KASSer.

It is with great pleasure that I name Glenn Jameson as the new KASSer-in-Chief (Coordinator) SOLO-New Zealand.

SOLO Principal Lindsay Perigo’s editorial broadcast at 6.10 am and 8.10 am on Radio Pacific, Monday August 13, 2007.

Today marks the beginning in this country of Islam Awareness Week. I’ve been doing my bit. A couple of weeks back in my regular Salient column I referred to Islam as a stupid, stinking superstition, which it is, and explained why.

Greetings Comrades!

A month has passed, and it has been quite productive...

Airport Sale Reaction Mired in Primordial Ooze

WSS posted on this a couple of weeks ago but it flicked off the front page quite quickly and so didn't get much interest. I checked out the website after a tough day at weasel-work, and it gave me such a lift!

Live Earth = Dead Brains

The weekend’s Live Earth concerts across the globe brought together a suitably motley array of dimwitted headbangers and caterwaulers whose noise pollution is proof positive that screaming skulls destroy their own brains, says Sense of Life Objectivists (SOLO) principal Lindsay Perigo.

Dear SOLOists,

As part of my first official post as "Commissar of KASS", I have decided to give you all the ammunition to keep me in line. So here it is, my job description, courtesy of Linz...

THE PRIZE IS US$200!

Now people, quit dawdling and get voting! This is an ideal way for SOLOists to focus on something other than our divisions. Whilst the Olympics will emphasise that most of the posts on this forum are actually very constructive, it also gives a fantastic opportunity to dish out some praise.

"2,4,6,8, WE DON'T WANT YOUR NANNY STATE!" To have been able to stand on the grounds of Parliament and echo this statement into the office of Helen Clark has made the March on Parliament against Nanny State's Anti-Smacking Law a resounding success. No matter how one-sided the media coverage, or how little impact we may have had on the law change (for now), Wednesday 28th March was a victory in the fight against this government's fascist intentions.

The march against the bill that would criminalise parents who smack their children, however lightly, is almost upon us, and everything is ready to go.

In response to the dictatorship's intention to take away a parent's right to smack their children, a march on Parliament is being organised for Tuesday 27th March Wednesday 28th March. Reports from the media suggest that up to 80% of people are opposed to Sue Bradford's bill, and in a somewhat pleasing development, some MPs have finally started kicking up a fuss.

I have recently heard a rather interesting piece of information regarding the immigration department. It appears that over the past two years, Immigration New Zealand has been
