Not that I want a holiday (its a bad practice), but when you consider the utterly worthless politicians we have today for whom we declare weeks of mourning if they kick the bucket, I wonder why we cannot similarly have a flag at half-mast and observe even a collective 2 minute silence.
Will our "president" be going to Wellington to pay her last 'respects'? Will a stamp be issued? Will roads be named after him? Will people be goaded to go into a violent demented rage because he dared to pass away? I think we know the answer.
