  • Hard News: Dirty Politics,

    FWIW…
    I thought the seriousness of Greenwald’s opening excoriation of Key’s behaviour, would have played better without Dotcom’s guffaws welling up in the background…

    FWIW…
    We are on the cusp of great change
    a tipping point, choose your catchment…

    FWIW…

    There’s something happening here…
    When this song is 50 years old….
    John Key will possibly give you a tax cut,
    if he is still in power…

    When this song is 50 years old….
    Every word of it may still hold true,
    it does today!

    When this song is 50 years old….
    we could be 3 years down
    the road to recovery
    and redemption even…
    Everybody look what’s going down!

  • Hard News: 2014: The Meth Election, in reply to kiwicmc,

    ...every smartphone, tablet and computer — is to be made visible. Such a map...

    'They' willl be busy flensing that pod of information that surfaced tonight in Auckland.
    What with accurate GPS and triangulation 'they' could identify, seat by seat who was where, if they hadn't already accessed any seat allocation software, of course...

  • Hard News: Dirty Politics, in reply to CJM,

    thar she blows...

    The surveillance operation is called ‘Speargun’.
    A weapon that penetrates objects with a spear attached to a cable

    Used with explosive effect in whaling...

    they could've called it Haarpoon, that'd be catchy...

  • Speaker: 1600 beneficiaries moving into…,

    Beneficiaries Haul…
    With the computing power now on offer and the statistics within the various departments available , surely there can be a balanced accounting of how many people are :
    - employed (tax records)
    - unemployed (WINZ)
    - subtract those over 65 and under 16 (census)
    compare against known population number

    I wonder how big the discrepancy would be?
    I wouldn’t show up in there …
    being neither employed or unemployed
    but to call it self employed is a joke
    I’d be covering costs, just…
    and I doubt I’m alone in that, especially in Chchch

    I suppose I would show up thru ACC levy payments
    & the GST natch – I should deregister but then ya have to absorb that 15%

    I s’pose I could sign on to row in the
    Bennett Fisheries Hull…
    gizza job then…

  • Hard News: Dirty Politics,

    Key is a dangerous loose cannon, now he proposes to release classified information, purely for his own ends - as if his reputation was something worth attempting to save...

  • Hard News: Privacy and the Public Interest, in reply to FletcherB,

    Applause….

    Shucks, thanks for that ArrowmakerB.
    I'm all aquiver with delight
    but humbly...

    Truth be told I just run a flock of 64 puns
    by rotating, recycling & reconfiguring
    usually one of them will play in
    any given situation, every
    little thing is ductile
    when massaging
    the message,
    & torquing
    the talk.

    tune
    in

    ... everyone's got a barrow to push.

  • Hard News: 2014: The Meth Election, in reply to Jake Starrow,

    de devil is in de detail...

    Why are errors so apparent after posting.

    'PREVIEW is your friend'
    was the sage advice given me early on.

    Always hit 'Preview'
    before 'Post' ...
    and then if t looks okay
    and sounds okay
    and can't be tweaked or trimmed
    and is spelt proper like
    and you'd still say it,
    exactly that way,
    to your mum
    or the person's face,
    then ya hit POST.
