    "Americans eye NZ after Bush victory" Hilarious!

    This is out of the local paper.

    A flood of interest from Americans wanting to move to New Zealand following the re-election of President George Bush has been welcomed by Prime Minister Helen Clark.
    "We regard US Migration as very desirable" She said.
    The immigration service website had 10,300 hits from the United States the day after its presidential election, more than 4 times the daily average of 2500. There had also been up to 300 telephone calls and emails a day compared with about eight before the election.
    For the first time in history New Zealand had been actively recruiting migrants, Miss Clark said.
    The US was viewed as a place from which New Zealand could get high quality skilled migrants, she said.


    Matt, forget Canada, New Zealands arms are wide open

    Don't believe the Hype, NZ is no better than America! :P

    But really. It's no surprise. Considering America is the place most workers want to go it's good for those immigrants wanting to go to the US, and those wanting to leave it.....

    Thats a bit unfair, you do know that theirs meant to be a Holy trinity, not unlike an Axis of Evil.......

    God and the Holy Spirit must be pissed that Jesus got his own country, i mean god created the earth (Apparantly......)

    JIn the past Jesus needed a temporary playground before he rejoined his father, when he returns a similar thing may happen and he has his country prepared for him.
