Hi Russell. If I try to watch the TVNZ on demand, I get the soundtrack but no visual. Just says, "sorry this content is not available to view". What am I doing wrong? It has worked for me in the past.

My brain hurts . . . wasn't it the Repubs who sunk it? I'n Roger Kerr fan but it was interesting to read his editorial in NZ Herald yesterday for a view of why too much govt intervention caused the problem in the first place. Always fun to see the world through Kerr-tinted glasses for a moment - scary but fun.

I agree with Sage and RB in that I thought McCain had the better of the debate purely in terms of technique. Interestingly, when I spoke to friends in US, they didn't see it that way and mnetioned all the things the subsequent polls mentioned - no eye contact, disrespect to Obama, smug, etc. So that suggests to me that most people in the US are looking at the candidates rather than listening to what they are saying. No surprises there I guess.

Yowza, McCafferty is angry! Love it! That's what I would like to see Biden dishing out to Palin in their "debate" but I'm pretty sure I'll be disappointed. The more media canings for Sarah the better, I say. It's going to take every ounce of her ignorance to outdo the colour of Barack's skin.

I thought one of the points of having Biden was that he was allowed to savage the opposition when Obama wasn't. Let's see him just shred her. Unfortunately, it won't happen because I believe the format is structured to just be sound bite exchange rather than actual debate.

I've been dying to get my hands on some of that dough to pay off my loans.

I see the logic of boosts to the economy etc. but I wonder if we are in the slightly protected position we are, as a country, because Mr Cullen has run a conservative approach to the economy over the last 9 years. Earned a bit and saved a bit. Would we be in a healthy state if we had borrowed more and spent more? Too macro-economic for my poor brain. I would also be interested to see what the total of the profits had been over the last 10 years for companies such as Bear Stearns, Lehmann Bros and other collapsing ones (excuse my spelling of their names - too lazy to check).

It all seems so "over there in the US" until I talk to a friend at swimming who is in marketing for a company that sells saw blades around the world. Big orders into the US until people stop building new stuff and now they are looking at serious financial issues. It's interesting to view it from this side of the Pacific however, where our country still seems to be trading OK, has lots of cow money coming into the country and where, outside of banks and property, business still seems to be ticking along reasonably well. Maybe my glasses are rose tinted but it feels like hearing about people in Las Vegas who lost a bundle. It does scare me a little to hear John Key and Bill English still saying they are happy to borrow more to fund their tax cuts (I mean infrastructure). Wise in these times?
