I'm pleased to see that "Honest" Hone Harawira managed to make it back into parliament by successfully managing to read through the Parliamentary oath of allegiance after a second attempt.
If you are of a selective race and/or rely on the hard work of others, you will finally be able to look forward to the benefits of representation after Hone's brief respite.
A dear reader sent me in a shocking experience while he was driving home from work and stuck in a traffic jam on the Northern motorway yesterday.
Nothing is moving.
Suddenly a man knocked on his window.
He rolls down his window and asks, "What's going on?"
"Terrorists have kidnapped Hone and Titiwhai Harawira.
They're asking for a million dollar ransom. If they don't get it they're going to douse them with petrol and set them on fire. We're going from car to car, taking up a collection."
The driver asks, "How much is everyone giving, on average?"
"About two litres."
