Or all of the above?
Sit up straight, Watchers. Your assignment for today: Michael Laws' latest ramblings.
I remain utterly indifferent to all those news organisations who throw ululating mothers, wounded children and hyperkinetic commentators at me, insisting that I care.A. Ugly racism clumsily disguised as satire?
Because everyone in the Middle East is nuts. It is as simple as that.
There will only ever be two long-term solutions. The first is ensuring all the current inhabitants no longer breed. The second is seed-spraying anti-psychotic drugs over their entire atmosphere. Nothing else has the remotest chance of working.
B. The work of someone who is well aware of his own non-sequiturs, but keeps producing sensationalist drivel as a pathetic cry for attention from someone who's realised their opinions count for nought to the majority of people?
C. Conclusive evidence that he's barking mad?
Discuss.

I'll take the trifecta, $10 each on A, B and C.
Talking of barking mad, LW is barking mad but we don't hold that against you. We still keep coming back, looking for something worth coming back for. Getting a bit ho hum in here, chaps.
Comes from the necessarily narrow focus, anon. When Council is dormant and Mickey has less chance to mess the sandpit, LawsWatch becomes dormant also. When we've previously widened the focus during slow news periods, we get complaints about that, too.
If you feel like providing blog fodder, pop round and rile Mickey up ;-)
Speaking of Michael Laws and nuts, I've seen an email that's been circulating that appears to contain a number of email exchanges between a mother concerned for her child's safety (the child in question is allergic to nuts) and the Mayor.
To cut a long story short, the Mayor was extraordinarily rude and abusive, calling the mother selfish, immature and 'a fascist idiot'.
Has anyone else seen this email? Can anyone confirm its validity? If so, it's an absolute outrage and the Chronicle should investigate further. Seriously.
Mr Laws said that he had been personally contacted by numerous pregnant women who are “extremely upset and understandably so.
“They are worried that the environment at the hospital will not be safe for the birth of their babies. I share that concern.”
************
This is rich. Here we have women contacting Mickey because they're upset their offspring may be at risk, in an unsafe environment. And Mickey leaps on his white horse, dusts off the horseshit, says he understands and shares their concerns.
Notably, he doesn't tell them they're PC fascist idiots who should keep out of our public hospitals.
Contrast that with what happened
just weeks ago women contacted Mickey because they were concerned their offspring may be at risk, in an unsafe environment (due to nut allergies).
This made them, in Mickey's selective view of minority groups, fascist idiots who should keep their kids out of our public schools.
But then of course he's now playing the concerned parent card and won't this look good when the happy family get their mugs in Wimminz Daze.
Ah the smugness of one insulated by distance. If ML ever actually lived in a war zone, he would know better than to resort to such glib fuckology as labelling everyone there mad. Next time someone starts shelling your house Mickey, you can start lecturing foreign nations on correct reactions to acts of war. Christ what a twat. And before the Laws-lovers start banging on about "what does he know?" I have lived in a war zone, spending 12 years in a rather bloody part of the world, which has made me much more aware of the grey and ambivalent nature of inter-community warfare. It amuses me that so many people in NZ feel the need to overlay their absolute lack of experience on a situation that most know little if anything about.
One would have thought that if Mickey was looking for a solution to the maternity crisis it would be the perfect occasion to trot out his all-purpose, one size fits all answer to just about everything: "They" ie no-one should be allowed to breed.
There'd surely be no shortage of volunteers to ensure that he was in the first cut, so to speak, on that one.
The mayor is right about the Middle east. It is inconceivable that sane and sensible people would spend so much time trying to wipe the other out.
Meanwhile there is a crisis in Wanganui's health services, the storm clean-up and a new roof for the Velodrome and Laws watch says nothing. This blog is losing its relevance.
On the e-mail ... I'd like to see it all. The mayor does not respond aggressively unless the provocation is similarly aggressive. So if posted, please post it all.
Meanwhile there is a crisis in Wanganui's health services...
Not a Council matter, unless Mickey's plan of pretending to do something by letting Nickie Higgie think about it backfires and the committee actually decides *gasp* to do something as other Councils have done, and fund local health initiatives rather than swimming pools. Then we'll report, and comment.
...the storm clean-up...
Seems to be going as well as can be expected. We're sure Council staff relished the opportunity to show how effective and dedicated they can be when not being constantly bombarded by the Diva's demands. You want a whole post saying "well done"?
...and a new roof for the Velodrome...
We're anticipating this will be debated at Council shortly so we're keeping our powder dry, as it were.
This blog is losing its relevance.
And Mickey is losing his marbles. Unfortunately, we'll both be around in Wangas for so long as the other one is.
On the e-mail ... I'd like to see it all.
So would we, anons above. If these women are offended by the correspondence they would surely be prepared to share it? We're happy to keep names out of the published version provided we can verify the actual existence of the persons named (as opposed, say, to the imaginary people who seem to write to the Chron in defence of Mickey).
The mayor does not respond aggressively unless the provocation is similarly aggressive.
You put us to shame, anon. We're wiping the tears of laughter from our eyes up at the Cave. Try as we might, we can't hope to come close to matching that level of satire.
Then name an incident Laws watch when an aggressive response from the mayor was not provoked by previous aggression? The guy is a counter-puncher: he doesn't start swinging first but he doesn't put up with any crap either which is why he has fans like me.
have you ever politely disagreed with him or challenged a decision he has made=TRY IT
What I find puzzling is that given all his critisim of people (non-blonde and blued eyed) breeding that the old bastard is still spitting them out himself.
More than a little hypocritic wouldn't you say? The ability to afford a Nanny doesn't make you breeding material you freak.
Sack this idiot and reduce the price of the SST by 10c. Who knows, I might even consider buying it then.
What ever happened to columnists having talent or an actual knowledge on a subject?
All Michael Flaws ever does is throw a topic in the air and see how he can get some controversy from it.
So very very boring, so very predicatable. Get a face lift and fuck off to E-TV you insipid little man.
"which is why he has fans like me"
This blow job was sponsered by...
The venom against the man can only be borne of jealousy. Shit, were you ALL born with small dicks? It's good that he keeps ploughing ahead over you losers. I note that the earlier challenge of providing proof of an UNprovoked attack has not been taken up.

*******
So tell us, Mickey, with all these pressing issues clamouring for your mayoral time, why the hell do you spend so much of your day watching LawsWatch and making these ridiculous anonymous (NOT) comments?
Since when did your mayoral obligations include providing entertainment of the shoot-yourself-in-the-foot variety for sundry blogs?
(Time to cut and paste that old "I am not the mayor" comment?)
...he doesn't start swinging first...

What ever gave Mickey the idea that he has the right to demand anything from this blog or anyone who visits it?
You have no rights here, Mickey, and your masturbatory messages are just a pathetic joke, so please clear off and do your wanking in the privacy of your own ego space.
I'm not the mayor and I'm amused you idiots think I am or does paranoia go with your other medical conditions?
It's C ... It's C !!!!!!!
