Even if they've disposed of their missiles by firing them at Moscow, the Trident?

bFM's Jose Barbosa scored an interview with Joss Whedon

Jose was so happy and nervous all at the same time, bless him. It was all he talked about all weekend.

I watched part one of Andrew Rawnsley's The Rise and Fall of Tony Blair last night

Rawnsley has spent 10 years predicting the implosion of the Blair/Brown relationship. It never happened. I sure it was "robust", but it never fell apart in the way he kept predicting. I think this?

As for stockpiling BZP – people should be warned that that might lead to consequences – anyone with even a slightly large stockpile who is then caught might not face just possession charges, but possession?

(a presumption of supply will kick in at 100 tablets).

great, free legal advice. i'll stick to around 90.

There's something oddly homely about a hand written nuclear letter, much like how the change of power is represented by walking in and out of a compatively modest terrace house.

McDonalds. BurgerKing, KFC, Starbucks, ...

Hey people...I'm off to Singapore for 2 weeks soon. Where's the best place to eat...cheapish?

Everywhere. Hawker centres, you'll feed yourself for $3. Food halls, up to $6.

As for stockpiling BZP – people should be warned that that might lead to consequences – anyone with even a slightly large stockpile who is then caught might not face just possession charges, but possession with intent to supply (a presumption of supply will kick in at 100 tablets).

Anderton?

And of course, the ban?

I in yr blog leavin u commentz

Given his family history with drugs it isn't surprising that Anderton reacts this way, but why a senior politico is allowed to foist his personal morality on the rest of the country al because of what happened to one of his kids is really stupid.

As odd as it feels,?

Looks like I won't have time to update our own Public Address Radio podcast until the weekend, but we have a good show in the can for tomorrow

*cough* And while we're in whorish self-promotion mode, I'm also pareodying, satirising and denigrating the Parliamentary Standing Orders Committee while I still?

Quite. My bad, as they say in a certain sort of American comedy.

Once more, Mr. Anderton should be a wee bit more scrupulous when citing?

Looked like an open-and-shut case for a dose of STFU to me ...

Well, I'm sure this sounds super-freaky, but I want to be fair to the guy too. I cannot even imagine what it's like for any parent to buy a child who committed suicide, and I don't blame?

What evidence, that the stuff is bad for you? Big deal. That does not in any way justify criminalisation. Risk of harm is insufficient for imposing the criminal sanction.

I?

As Craig touches on, Anderton's megaphone diplomacy on suicide epidmiology is, frankly, crap. And he ignores any evidence that doesn't fit his preconceived notions. An?

Well, here's a few words I'd like carved into the foreheads of every politician and journalist:

CORRELATION, IF IT EXISTS, DOES NOT IMPLY CAUSATION

As for folks who aren't that big on scientific method, when your conclusions should be based on a well-designed hypothesis, evaluated against the collection?

Annette King is the Minister of Police, Minister of Transport, Minister for Food Safety, and Minister of State Services.

Annette King is the Minister of Police, Minister of Transport, Minister for Food Safety, and Minister of State Services.

...and former Minister of Health, more's the pity.

Yucky, yucky, BZP. That market was surely about to implode anyway wasn't it? A close relative of mine is a doctor who was?

CORRELATION, IF IT EXISTS, DOES NOT IMPLY CAUSATION

Of course it bloody implies it. It just doesn't guarantee it.

Comparing BZP and alcohol, humans have a long history of using booze, we know the risks and what may happen but while BZP seems to have no short term problems (actually?

I think it disqualifies him from having the kind of dispassionate open mind on these matters that we're entitled to expect from a minister. If someone's kid had been killed in a police chase then I think that would disqualify them from being Police Minister on the same grounds.

If?

I don't understand this idea that because a family member has suffered something — whether it be suicide, murder, drug addiction, or some other horrible social ill — that this qualifies you as an expert in?

I don't understand this idea that because a family member has suffered something — whether it be suicide, murder, drug addiction, or some other horrible social ill — that this qualifies you as an expert in preventing that problem.

Well that's not what I said. I said that, just because?
