Don't Delay for a Minute

Ah, good to be back blogging again.  Had my last exam at the cruel hour of 9:30am this morning, so good to get that out of the way - just in time to catch the tail end of the election campaign...


Sometimes Cry
by Poor Old Lu

don't delay for a minute
cause if you do i'll know you're too far into it
i mean the world around us
the world around

to keep your head above water
to be humble amidst tears and laughter
sometimes we need to hide
sometimes cry

run away
far away
to Yahweh
He's my hideaway

*star-studded-super-step*
yeah, you've turned around again
well i can feel it inside
in His side

and i'll tell you what He sees
but first i must fall down on my own knees
let me hold your hand
holding our hands

i need to lower my head
i don't know if i can
i've been so lost
i don't know if i can
i really have to fall
i don't know if i can
i'll say it again
i don't know if i can

and now we're losing time
no, we can't say we never got a sign
the love is all around us
and it surrounds us.

That's one of my favourite songs by Poor Old Lu.

Well, they've said that Rodney's yellow jacket is probably breaking the law.  But Rodney's going to ignore them, and heck, good on him.  Not sure if our new Act on Campus t-shirts are breaking the law, but we don't care either.  Nanny state is moving back to China on Saturday, to be followed shortly thereafter by her hideous spawn, the Electoral Finance Act.  A National/ACT government will also ensure that we dump the economy-destroying Emissions Trading Scheme - which they quizzed us on in the exam earlier today.

EFA Threatens Rodney's Wardrobe

"Act leader Rodney Hide's canary-yellow jacket has fallen foul of the Electoral Finance Act.  The Electoral Commission wrote to Mr Hide yesterday, saying that under the act the jacket might be an "election advertisement" and therefore required an authorising statement." - NZ Herald, 4 Nov 08



The article in the Herald continues... "The letter quoted the query as saying the garment that "contains the Act logo [and] the slogan 'the guts to do what's right' was worn in public by you in Newmarket and does not contain a promoter statement". The person who made the query also gave the commission a newspaper article about the jacket and two photos of Mr Hide wearing it."

Huh.  Now, who could that have been?
