Russell, could you list the nominees in the post?
It's about the word not the personality. Jeez, anybody would think this were the general election.

David Shearer will make mistakes. He will make wrong calls. He will say things he will regret.
Ahh, but what if he doesn't? he will be unbeatable. Look out johnkey, Labour now has a real politician with real experience in real situations, not just a dollar dealer
MWAHAHAHA!!!. -

‘hey, that’s doc simpson’s dog!’.
What a wonderful story. Like unknown corpses are referred to as “John Doe” we now have a name for all people who’s name has been suppressed, Doc Simpsons dog did it.
Anyhow. Slightly off topic but related…
Govt may subsidise Igloo set top boxes
Something stinks here. Once again the evil hand of Joyce at work.
Why would we subsidise Sky Tv? we already have freeview, which was made possible by Kordia an SOE.
Could it be for this bunch of money grabbing bastards to control the airwaves or is it just another case of bailing out the private sector?
It seems, although not specifically mentioned in any article I have read so far, that Igloo is an internet service and the Governments subsidy is purportedly to help the late adopters of the digital (terrestrial and satellite) service to be able to receive TV when the switch-over happens next year. They would be better served by the Govt. subsidising Freeview rather than a private company, surely?. -

memetic desire?
Very interesting and apt. I am wondering if this is why people like johnkey, "he is rich, I want to be rich, I will vote for him" illogical, yes but who thinks logicically and then votes for the rich?.
