Um, unfortunate run-on effect - should clarify I meant Mr Henry, not Mr Ranapia.

If you're wiling to apply a word describing behaviour typically stereotyped as female, can I suggest "bitchy" - which may also relate to Craig's observation that a gossip columnist weighing in was more than ironic. Strong women do bring out interesting tics in weak men.

True. Because he's such an incisive social commentator and all.. :)

Ta for le TKO, Jolisa. Morning rev-up. :)

If public figures like Mr Henry get away with bullying then grown ups who find it admirable behaviour are reinforced and will not correct their chldren's behaviour. Then those little shits will bully other children, maybe yours. Sure it's not the only factor but the behaviour of prominent public figures and its effect on public attitudes are bound to have an impact.
Holding public bullies to account is for the benefit of all of us, not just for those they have directly victimised. Bullies also deserve to confront their own unhappiness and may Mr Henry get the help he so clearly needs. That's about as compassionate as I'll get about this.

There will always be schoolyard bullies.
But I'm told that the NZEI claims bullying in our schools is already being dealt to. Others disagree, and that's only from today's news. Gee, I wonder who to believe?

Classic censorial behaviour from prosecutors in the US taking an "educational" approach to teen sxting:
But when MaryJo Miller protested to Skumanick that the photo portraying her daughter and Kelly couldn't possibly be considered child porn, he replied that the girls were posed "provocatively," according to the lawsuit.
...But Skumanick said the image wasn't appropriate.
"You'd have to see the photo and see the setting, which I'm not going to show to the public because I don't think it's appropriate," he said. -
Print copyright really is different from music (or visual) copyright.
As if on cue, local book publisher Martin Taylor promotes e-books with upcoming event.

the idea that it is somehow wrong for women to have visible facial hair
Some commenters have found it downright offensive of Stephanie to venture forth in public without meeting their safe socially-sanctioned gender stereotypes. Transgressive behaviour releases some fascinating corrective impulses - from women as well as men. Childish Paul Henry needs a good shrink - in his own time, not on screen.

The minimum wage is going up but even those working full time on the minimum wage won't get into the tax cut range.
It's worse than that, as Idiot/Savant, Te Standard and others pointed out at the time the package was announced, and since.
Willie Jackson must be the worst moderator I've ever seen. Fortunately Laila Harre was there to counter Cameron Brewer's statement that the average wage was $45k so tax cuts would benefit "most" workers. That type of lazy or lying crap goes uncorrected far too often.
