Romney vs Obama. America, you get what you vote for.

There is nothing exciting about incumbent President Barack Obama, which suggests he will make much of difference on the American economy in the next four years. With that said, his Republican Rival, Mitt Romney does not fare much better either. One is a good public speaker and writer. The other, a successful businessman and investor. If a moderate political commentator were to critically analyse each of the policies the men puts forth, barely anything distinguishes them (taxes and government size aside). Americans have emphasised a need to have radical change to rescue a struggling economy. Neither Romney or Obama are capable of reviving the United States. You get what you vote for America. Remove all this 'personality' nonsense, which has plagued the political ideology ever since Bill Clinton appeared. Start searching hard and fast for someone capable of providing a real boost, politically, economically, socially.

Richie is Limping again...Surprise, surprise...not!

A lot of people had convinced themselves Richie McCaw was some sort of bullet proof dynamo, incapable of ever succumbing to the brutal knocks, he has suffered in his career. A small section last week on the blog outlined how he won't make it to the next world cup as a player was dismissed as mere guesswork. Indeed it might but this view is not just an opinion that has started here. New Zealand Herald writer Wynne Gray says he believes McCaw, won't be able to hold up for much longer. Wise words from somebody who has watched his career very closely. Hearing that McCaw had to leave training early, as a result of a bruised thigh, suggests last week's sentiments hold some rationale.


The stupid smartphone war does a Hollywood

Samsung is taking legal action against Apple. No specifics have yet been given, but it is likely over the new design of the phone. The more people who buy into the smartphone cult, the more this largely tedious nonsense will dominate headlines. Both companies will get publicity, moving forth with a Slurpee smile. Encouraging them on brings nothing but anti-social behaviour, lousy news headlines and mass amounts of debt. Resist this cult, while its still possible.



***A church in Kenya has been attacked by a terrorist cell, believed to be a Somalian Islamic radical group. Hopefully, now is the time for leaders of Islamic nations, to express their moral outrage over this immature conduct.***

Final comment- Young New Zealanders ought to know, that people who hold University degrees, don't fare too much better than those without one. Entrance into these academic institutions ought to become tougher, so any clueless, forced or lost prospects are culled at the processing stage.
