  • Hard News: Flying Nun: Thirtysomething,

    We looked at the Epic promo for the Flying Nun Ale last night.

    Had one the other day. Bloody nice! Next best thing to a good home brew, and makes all DB and Lion products seem like Soda Stream.

    ... a man who has epically failed to meet his own 15% benchmark...

    Hey, the election hasn't happened yet! :)

    Because that’s making a travesty of democracy.

    That's actually complete self-serving bullshit. I'm going to go vote tomorrow, and probably split my vote. Key is as entitled to solicit "strategic voting" as anyone else...

    Yeah, not what I said. See I/S' comment.

    It's an interesting question though: Would FDR's adultery and Churchill's heavy drinking and severe depressive episodes make them both unelectable today? And would the world have been a better place if the media then was more like it is now?

    Actually, I wouldn't care if Key was an adulterer, a heavy drinker, or a depressive, if he was doing a good job otherwise. Because that's his private life.

    I do care if he's asking people to vote for another party, while at the same time planning to rearrange said other party into something quite different from what those people would be voting for. Because that's making a travesty of democracy.

    Ummm ... no it isn't. The police don't want copies of the tapes, they want any information about how the tapes were made that may have come from Bradley Ambrose.

    Police presumably want the raw tape of the Ambrose interview.

    This is boiling over.
    I predict that the tape will escape, today or tomorrow.

    Duncan Garner says that 3News has so far decided not to release the teapot tape "but it's fair to say, we're reviewing that position throughout the day".

    "What happens when it moves to other high profile New Zealanders having a conversation with their wives about personal issues?
    "What happens if a couple of high profile New Zealanders have a conversation about their son or their daughter being suicidal - a Sunday paper reports that and that child takes their own life.

    Kind of reminds me of this:

    Not since the following has tea so obsessed a nation.
