  • Hard News: Lucinda Williams made me cry,

    Hill Cone on the other hand turns a nice phrase like "Jarvis giving the bird to bastard bigwigs" but still doesn't get it. Read some Shirky, love.

    Pah. When will Baillie stop recycling the same hack phrases. What does "guitar scorched" even mean?

    "Just Say NO! to xxxx for Super Mayor" has a lot of future as a movement, methinks.

    Mark, important not to overstate victimhood throughout the process either. Dunne-Powell actively negotiated that payment.

    And welcome, Brent. More Westies the better.

    Mind you, he does have perfect ethics for a career in politics. Oh look, his column goes on to talk about the new supercity mayoralty..

    Oh come on. Seriously?

    In making his guilty plea, Veitch has made a deal with fate. Not wanting to wait an eternity for justice, he has decided to admit guilt in one instance. In doing so, he can now speak. And also in doing so, he spared the young woman weeks of harrowing disclosure. Her dignity is preserved.

    In making the guilty plea, he earns dignity himself. This should not be forgotten.

    Uh huh. And apparently the only thing wrong with tampering with evidence is.. getting caught, messily.

    I wonder, too, about the wisdom of altering the character references in court. It has merely prolonged the story and left an untidy end.

    Loyalty is one thing but just how did this plonker even make it through journalism school?

    I'm sure he's down in the garden shed carving one from driftwood as we speak..

    a publication urging a celebrity not to sue

    Accompanied by many stories about the situation that the suing would be about. Without the slightest awareness of irony.

    what services will have to be cut

    The Minister of Health's razor gang seems to have no members who know much about disability services, despite them accounting for about $2b a year funnelled through the Ministry and DHBs (or about 18% of total budgets, as Table 2 in last year's committee report shows - PDF, 236Kb).
