Hard News: Book review: 'Wikileaks:…, in reply to Russell Brown,
A thought: which countries would top the Honesty in Foreign Policy Index?
I expect you could get the answer by perusing the Most Investment in P.R. Index

Going back to the "you lie!" commemorative firearm: linking an offensive remark in Congress with a firearm at a time when a member of congress has just been shot seems like a horrifying example of escalation to me.
Can you imagine the same company bringing out a mark II in a couple of years; this one stamped "you lie dead" ?

John Key's only mistake was not to bring in Don Brash sooner to negotiate with the Warner Brethren.
But I guess employment law changes means that the Not-the-Warner Brethren will still be pretty happy.

But Concert FM has an amazingly narrow and specific view of culture.
Does it really? You keep dismissing it as "a classical music station" but it isn't. It is a station that plays classical music. It also plays jazz. It plays contemporary world music. It plays documentaries, debates and discussions.
Actually, Concert FM has a far wider and non-specific view of culture than almost every commercial radio station currently broadcasting in this country.

Someone in a position to know (or at least speculate) suggests to me that eMusic has never had the right to sell to New Zealanders.
I have been with emusic for years. Recently when my credit card rolled over to a new expiry date I had to update the detail on my account, and emusic kept rejecting it. After many exchanged emails the best that emusic has been able to say is (sic):
We aware of the issue and are currently working to resolve it. The problems is occurring with account updates that need to be made in countries where service is no longer available. Your account will not be effected, but new registrants will not be able to sign up.
Perhaps this also means I will no longer receive emails offering me "your recommended download for this month personalised just for you" - only to find that "this album is not available for download in your country". That was starting to severely brass me off.
