  • Hard News: Still crazy after all these years,

    The guy I bought my latest microwave off told me it was better than the old ones which irradiated food, that was what the standing time was for, to allow the radiation to disperse.

    What is the half-life of a rice pudding?

    ACT has always had two distinct wings - libertarian and conservative; the libertarian mob are in the ascendant at the moment, but the conservatives are still hanging around. Perhaps libertarians are more tolerant of wacky beliefs of others and less concerned about their implications.

    I would not join the Greens because of the opposition to science and adherence to New Age mumbo jumbo among a substantial bloc of its membership. That kind of wackyness is equally harmful as the ACT kind.

    More breast beating and finger pointing than a gorrilla convention held in a '70's disco.

    Roflnami.

    They would have been hauled onto Nine to Noon so that Kathryn Ryan could speak to them in her extra-sympathetic tone of voice.

    She has just been speaking to someone who has a daughter in Chile, a daughter who has not been harmed but is hard to contact at the moment. The lives of 700 Chileans are as nothing to the phone problems of one young New Zealander.

    So, is anyone still doubting the value of National Radio for civil defence information?

    Quite likely, given the Herald's insouciant attitude towards facts and sub-editing.

  • Hard News: Auckland: where only one man votes,

    Ah, yes, but, the Government's carefully planned plan is to have the party central as far from the rugby as possible, so far that it might be called party peripheral. The precise purpose of this peripheral plan remains shrouded in mystery, although under certain lights it appears to be no more than a whim of the Prime Minister.

    Aye, Sofie. And have ye not noticed that nice Mr Key is always photographed relaxing with a bottle of beer in his hand? I think he has a problem and he wants the rest of us to drink with him.

    Makes even less of a case for taxpayer funding if its just collecting news from other sources as opposed to outsourcing and funding an NZ journo to get out in the field and report the news.

    No, that is a case for more taxpayer funding, to finance more locally made content. NatRad already makes loads of documentary and news programmes, covering ares which are ignored by the commercial media; but if you want more, then that $10m fuding shortfall has to be made up.
