Local Rich Kid Goes Mad

[Bob Kane]

Gareth Morgan appears to have lost his sanity.

http://www.3news.co.nz/Gareth-Morgan-offers-to-pay-for-cat-euthanasia/tabid/367/articleID/284987/Default.aspx

Offering a $5 bounty for each dead cat.
What next?

i think he must have read this recent american study

http://www.nbcnews.com/id/50630522/ns/technology_and_science-science/

and in a country that pretty much only has native animals in the form of birds....

Key delivered the best line of the afternoon
in saying that David Cunliffe remained about as popular a figure in the Labour caucus
as a pussycat at Gareth Morgan's place.

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/opinion/news/article.cfm?c_id=466&objectid=10862222

Key advised his Opposition counterpart

to get Cunliffe a bell to put around his neck

At least Shearer would hear Cunliffe coming the next time the latter planned a coup.

[Bob Kane]

I don't see much support for Gareth's suggestion.
Entertaining but somewhat flawed.

the sharp, decisive, outspoken mind

does well in business

poorly in politics

It's not so hot at soccer either!

It just goes to show that economists, who love to voice their opinions, are as average as the rest of us.

[NovInvestor]

Low EQ, what else can I say...

He should stick to his finance job, dont come crossing the cats and the soccer fans...

The Rich Kids Latest Plans

Gareth wants to see the Phoenix play 'entertaining' football so his latest plan is:
Entertainment on the field:
- Footballers only use their feet which leaves their arms free ... so Gareth is giving every player five oranges to juggle as they run around the field (economists love suggesting efficiencies).
- The goalie will now ride a unicycle (and juggle his five oranges) as he waits for some action to come his way ("well, he's bloody standing around doing nothing for most of the match").

Entertainment off the field:
- Gareth is importing an elephant so he can ride it around the field to encourage his players. He will be wearing an Elvis costume with rhinestones and be accompanied by a bevy of scantily clad young women in high heels and feathers in their hair.
- Ricki Herbert's new 'advisory' role involves pushing a wheelbarrow after the elephant.

The new coach will be announced shortly and don't be surprised if he comes with a circus de soleil background.
Roll up!
Roll up!

Looks like Gareth is out to make a small fortune.




Of course, he started with a large fortune.

At least it's his own money; unlike the last chap.

The Cats Killed Them

Monarch butterflies do not seem to be about in their usual numbers this year. Researchers are to meet in Auckland in March to figure out what has happened to them.

Give a guy too much money and he goes nuts:

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/9421395/Gareth-Morgan-comes-out-swinging

Economist Gareth Morgan has come out swinging against the Government in a blog entitled Why New Zealanders Should Support the Protest against Deep Sea Oil.
He posted the blog at garethsworld.com this morning as the Greenpeace sailing vessel Vega continued to block The Noble Bob Douglas from drilling off the Raglan coast.

Well done Gareth on your stance on this.

Many thanks also for your sizeable donation to the Philippines disaster.

[Bob Kane]

lol
I hope he's on board a boat out there.
