Anyway, I should stop the bickering and the making fun of Chuck Bird on Kiwiblog (the latter is dangerously addictive; I made a joke about the Big Day Out and he demanded to know why I was bringing this "gay event" into it) and finish my column before the wine runs out.
Final word: I probably qualify as a tribal Labour voter, but I'm not as horrified as some people by the possibility of a change of government. I might disagree with Bill English on some things, but I think I saw the measure of the man when he spoke at an autism fundraiser I helped organise.
But I think National (less so Act, for various reasons) is going to have to treat the centre-right's online cheerleaders with some caution this year.

Grrr... I may be a potty-mouth puritan ...
Heh.

And would it be within the realm of possibility you'd be a tad less sanguine if it was Heather Roy or Bronwyn Key getting that kind of treatment on a left-wing blog?
Sorry for going off, folks. But really...
Thanks Craig. As you have correctly determined, that was my point.

Juvenile and pathetic the image may have been, but those who have flailed around in such deep offence really need to get over themselves.
I thought I was fairly measured, actually. I made the point that had the shoe been on the other foot, the wingnuts would have been incandescent.
Far more offensive is Russell's continued defamatory assertion that [blogger in question] made jokes about raping another blogger. If it were me, you'd have court papers on your doorstep by now.
Case in point. How could you say that, you evil leftie? Help! Help!
As I pointed out to Cameron Slater, you people would be more impressive if you didn't immediately default to victim mode every time someone calls you on your actions.
I'm quite aware of what was said, and I took the same meaning as the target of the jokes and her friends did. The lame attempts to rationalise it afterwards weren't very convincing.
If your friends weren't such sorry little children they might not have to deal with people "misunderstanding" them.

Oh, you mean this one?
No. Although Whaleoil's gallery of Helen Clark pictures is so copious as to suggest there's something sexual going on in his head.

I'm another one on the right who was annoyed by it, and I normally have a lot of time for the blog it was on.
I don't. I think they lost me the time they made the funny jokes about raping another blogger.
-
is this it?
Hardly.

Readers may be amused by the Kiwiblog thread on the Jimmy Mason case, in which many participants show a rather thrilling estrangement from reality.

I didn't hear much of Key on morning report but I feel like he used the phrase "boundaries and [something]" (as in, thats what they need [right as far as it goes]/what they will get) three times in one sentence.
He also promised "drug and alcohol training" which would sound kind of fun if you were a teenager. It was his speech, so they had to stick him out there when they'd normally use a senior MP, but, man, he's not very good at it.

Thanks to this month's statistical aberration in the murder rate ...
As I pointed out in my post, it's not even that. Just business as usual for January, unfortunately.
