No Longer An Aberration, George Bush Re-Elected
This is a terrible time for America and the world. With the re-election of George Bush,
his, and now ëour,í militant beyond-the-law actions can no longer be seen as an aberration. The American people have chosen to approve his policies for another four years. Our USA is now
the superpower that leads the world, killing civilians as a part of our war on terrorism, deeming the Geneva Conventions obsolete, torturing ëterroristsí at Guantanamo Bay or ëoffshoringí them for torture to countries like Libya, Egypt, Morocco . 100,000 Iraqis have been killed in our liberation/occupation of that country , the resources of which we are privatizing at a mind-blurring clip following a pre-ordained ëEconomy Planí and its Annex D that pushed back elections until the plan could be implemented.

A Week Goes By In Whangerei
Well another week gone by in Whangarei, the aussie sticks to his task but lady luck eludes the Darwin lad. Hopes are still high because it seems things move slower than they do in Darwin, which I thought would be impossible. Because in Darwin itís the tropical way, and they say the NT (as in Northern Territory) stands for Not Today, Not Tomorrow, Next Time!!
Waters Ponders… While Driving Along The Tutakaka Coast of NZ
Have taken the country air with a drive to Matapouri along the Tutakaka coast, hugging the hills while I ponder my position in this green green world of fabulous coasts and rugged hills full with sheep in one paddock, and then next steep pasture, dairy cows wandering back to the milking shed as if on remote.

Lying Rodent Re-Elected in Oz [John Howard] Feijoa Sellowiana
Phil in Whangerei, NZ
Well…. sitting at Russell’s, http://www.subtropical.co.nz with the doves, swans and Stumpy the lorikeet. Arrived at Whangarei safely and drove up here under a stormy cloudy day, but the sun shines thru now and then. Everyone is busy, Russell is filling orders and Mac (Russell’s partner) is off to cook at the west coast cafe, Sharky’s, for the night. So I am enjoying the serenity of this magic bolthole.
Till next time, take care my friends, Phil
