From Red Carpet To Red Card

Was Immigration Minister Kate Wilkinson right to allow and then withdraw Mike Tyson's entry Visa? Is there no way a high profile man can redeem himself these days? Is there no way we can forgive him and his kind? Plenty do get forgiven in NZ so why not Tyson? He has done his time. Click On Cartoon To Enlarge

Punch Key Amnesia

Key will find it hard to wriggle out of this one, but he will do - despite looking foolish for awhile. Ever since Kim Dotcom parachuted onto our shores clutching millions of ill gotten dollars, we have witnessed an unbelievable amount of monkey business with donations to John Bank's election fund - and now political bumbling in our Governments efforts to appease the USA's attempts to punish Internet piracy. There is the making of a musical farce here with Kim's own music as the score. It would be free on Mega Upload of course - altho' he would have to pay me to listen to it.

Punch Rules Polls

Click Cartoon To Enlarge. This cartoon of mine has been reworked several times and the more I see John Key in his second term of power, the more he reminds me of the pugnacious character Punch. In fact so much so, I think he deserves a blog of his own, so I have created one which just might morph into a cartoon strip later on. You will be able to see it at http://punchlines2.blogspot.co.nz - A Keynzian Take On Politics. Key Punch will need some changes so keep an eye out for him at his own own blog. One thing that will never change will be his perpetual grin - regardless how difficult the situation has become.
