It's Language, Bro
Indeed it is. The Labour party would do well to consider that. Currently, they're consistently on the back foot, largely, IMO, because they allow the other guys to frame the discussion.
Or because when they try to frame it, they bungle it.The Axe the Tax campaign was stupid on a variety of levels, not the least of which was the language: Labour never had in fact any intention to "axe" any "tax".

I like Hype Machine because it finally allows me to quantify exactly how much more than mine the opinions of other people are worth. For instance: if I like a song, I give it 31 points. If Russell likes it, the song receives 155 points. Therefore his opinion is five times as valuable as mine. I find this comforting somehow.

I'm not saying Italy's the only one. I'm picking at least Ireland and your ancestral digs.

What being born articulate allows me to do, however, is to win arguments even if I'm wrong.
Okay, now imagine growing up in a country where *everyone* can do that.

I like that: information, meet context.
This brings it home nicely (h/t Zef Fugaz.)

Nice! Although I am currently mesmerised by the Herald asking its readers how they would stop the oil spill.

OTOH... has the Dominion Post ever been right about anything?

But The Tings Tings are cool ... right? Aren't they? Or is that over already ....
Nope, sorry, they stopped being cool a little over an hour ago.

From what I understand it might be the other way around.
It's the Dominion's version as reported by the council? Seriously, I don't understand.

Yes, except this is the council's version as reported by the Dominion Post. Two things that make me a bit skeptic.
