  • Southerly: Interview with Rodney Hide,

    Anything that might prevent the build-up of mucus in Rodney Hide's brain, I'm in favour of.

  • Hard News: Research Fail,

    Could I, too — like a few others — make a plea for all contributors not to make blanket judgments based on others' party affiliations

    I don't think that's really happening; just a bit of sarcasm returned in kind.

    I actually find The Panel quite diverting. It just needs a new host and new guests - concept okay.

    Sort of like, "Nice bat; just needs a new blade and a new handle."

  • Hard News: Research Fail,

    telling RNZ their budget could be frozen for the next 5 years.

    RNZ: pretty much the best -- some would argue the only remaining -- mainstream source of more or less in-depth news coverage in the country. Coincidence?

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

    No one's pretending, Nick. Your man is subverting democracy.

    Have a listen to Roy trying to explain this on national radio last night

    That was scary.

    Where do they get these ideas?

  • Hard News: The Death of Evidence,

    Marijuana was often a stepping stone to more aggressive drugs such as P or cocaine, [Key] said.

    I think I'm starting to get this. Part of being 'against drugs' is being 'against knowing anything about drugs'.

  • Hard News: The Death of Evidence,

    I know the man [Power] well enough (and the temperature of the party I've belonged to for twenty years) and surmise that it was never on the cards.

    So we're all in agreement, then.

    No one's saying it wasn't predictable; just that it displays bad faith.

  • Hard News: Standards Matter,

    Deborah Hill Cone "is proud to say I don't know anything."

    She wants us to accept that no one knows anything, because then no policy is really valid, meaning that the only way forward is a highly deregulated society (and economy) where everyone from the CEO to the factory worker is "free" to behave as they please; basically an ACT stance.

    As usual for NZH opinionists, a short course of Logic 101 wouldn't go amiss.

  • Up Front: Do My Homework For Me,

    The photo spread on the front of the sports section in today's SST was closer to snuff imagery than I was prepared for, and I'd rage against it becoming the norm. It made my darling cry and me feel sick...

    I'm guessing you missed 3news last night, then. I didn't, unfortunately.
