If you're like to join us for tomorrow's recording, after 5pm at the Classic Comedy Club in Queen St, hit Reply and let me know.

I love Paul Krugman. This guy does too.
Lol.

The only good bit in today's Herald was when Business Editor Liam Dann absolutely pans John Key's “Jobs Summit” – it’s the only piece of critical journalism I've read about the “do-fest” and I suspect he might be fired soon for breaking the fawning-sycophantic-dribble editorial line...
