Liberal Americans Eye 'Progressive' New Zealand After Bush Victory

Another likely attraction for liberal Americans are recent moves in New
Zealand to promote civil unions for same-sex couples. The government is
considering a law that will give same-sex partners a range of new "rights" when
it comes to guardianship of children.
New Zealand also boasts vocal environmental, anti-globalization and
anti-war movements.
Its parliamentary website offers just two media links, and one of them
takes users to a left-wing "news service" which carries a range of press
releases - but also routinely runs anti-U.S. and anti-Israeli commentary
(including this week writings suggesting the U.S. election was a rigged
"coup.")
Clark told reporters she welcomed the increase in interest from Americans
considering migrating to New Zealand, saying it was considered "very
desirable."
After Carol Mosely-Braun's #1 staffer was found guilty of sex with underage girls, and there were questions about "embezzled, misused funds", former President Bill Clinton appointed Carol Mosely-Braun as US Ambassador to New Zealand. Right about the same time, and during all the discovery of President Bill Clinton selling US nuclear secrets to China, it was also revealed that the ChiComs were using New Zealand as their base of intel.
Which brings me to a side-line topic. I do crochet/knitting. For YEARS, one could not find wool-based yarns for love or money here in the US. Most our wool is being purchased in New Zealand. I know there was a News Anchorman.. involved with wool. Wasn't it Dan Rather?
