Politicians are shoving their faces through my letter box in a wasteful exercise. High-gloss paper is useless as kindling and must be taken to the recycle centre.
Funnily enough, MP Mike Sabin is into recycling too when you consider he's had three electorate chairmen in the last three years andhis face is everywhere as well - slapped on billboards, spanked on a Commodore and thrust into the newspaper from self-generated photo ops.
His political opponents are more visible on street corners and so adept at the meet-and-greet they could sell cars. The tragedy for this election is that Shane Jones is off fishing in the Pacific so the one person who could have provided entertaining political rhetoric is missing in action.
His replacement Kelvin Davis has stood against Hone and the Maori Party, Hone and the Mana Party and now Hone and the Mana Internet Party so the more things change the more they stay the same, just like Goldie Hawn's face. But if nothing else, it means Hone's back in town. This Parliamentary term he was absent for 68 days, a fact the opposition slipped into the debating chamber like a fart cushion beneath an unsuspecting bum just to create a noise.
There's something surreal about Mana Internet, so Alice Through The Looking Glass, a load of old Jabberwocky. You'll remember, kiddies, that Alice played with a white kitten and a black kitten and pondered what the world was like on the other side of the mirror. Eventually she meets up with the fat Tweedle brothers.....Dee and Dum....
