No. They're too busy investigating a bloody chicken.
I did like this "comment"
John Key: I haven't had any advice on that but I'm pretty relaxed about it crossing the road.

I did think it odd that the "talent" selected for the march consisted of her and Ben Lummis. I understand Ben's association with the pro-punishment people, but I thought Yulia's image was being managed to be much more neutral to avoid harming her "brand".
Is it that the Demo-Crazys only know "As Advertised on TV" Music?. I wonder who else they asked?

An interesting fact about the symbology of Fascism is its use of the Fascio which, literally means a bunch of Fagots.
This bundle of sticks represent people standing together as one, the single stick is easily broken but bundled together they are strong.
This symbol has been used for both the left and right over time, from the Romans to the New Zealand Municipalities Co-operative Insurance Company Limited, later Civic Insurance. The Fascio adorns the old Municipal Buiding in Auckland City. -
the autocratic overlordship of a brain in a jar
I, for one, welcome our Fascist Overlords. I am with you Colin Craig, I think you are totally right. Now about that $100.00, can you pay it directly into my account?.

Key, whom they seem to have placed genuine faith in to address their pet issues.
His approach of smiling and saying he'll consider the issue is dangerous if it gives people false hopesJohn Key's attempt to be all things to all people has begun to lose it's shiny newness. What was it he promised, what was it that defined his campaign? One word "Better" they told us that we needed change and he could do "Better" they told us that Helen Clark was bad and he would be "Better". Well, he has proven to "His" people that he wasn't "Better" enough they want him to be more "Better"
Anyone see anything wrong with the logic here? Anyone see anything wrong with the grammar here?
Better is purely subjective, it can mean anything. Like the smile on Mr Key's face can mean "I am pleased to see you" or "I am about to remove your gonads" . He wasn't called the "smiling Assassin" for nothing. -
Demo-crazy comes to New Zealand
It will be Tea Parties next, you mark my words. -
One small point I had noticed was that most of those standing on their "Easy Kleen" detergent boxes screaming coercion, cover-up, corruption and conspiracy all claimed to have been something once. The kind of person that gets a job and resigns a week later because they didn't get to make all the big decisions, a bit like those Clowns and Muppets who traipsed down Queen Street demanding that "It is not Democracy because I don't get to make the laws". We do have binding referendums in this country, they're called Elections and if you think you can do a better job, then run for Parliament.
Self centred right wing tossers the lot of them.

Geez, talk about thread jacking.
So, Russell, how is the TIVO going. I for one welcome our Digital Overlords but I think the TIVO is a little late to our small market. How are the gadgets that set it apart from other packages, such as Freeveiw or Sky working out. Is the suggestions function getting much use? -
it was like some rock 'n' roll dream.
Indeed it was. Or at least an Acid fuelled flashback, at times I couldn't figure what decade it was or what the hell I was doing in this mosh pit. Faces looming out of the crowd like spectres from a Kiwi rock 'n' roll fantasy, faces and voices and tunes from discrete points of the past mashing into a single moment of magic madness.
If Chris were any less of a humble man his head would be the size of a planet this morning, what a guy, what a legend, what a night. -
"not only the loudest rock band in the galaxy, but in fact the loudest noise of any kind"
Pink Floyd and their lavish stage shows were also the inspiration for the Adams-created fictional rock band "Disaster Area", described in the Hitchhiker's Guide as "not only the loudest rock band in the galaxy, but in fact the loudest noise of any kind". One element of Disaster Area's stage show was to send a space ship hurtling into a sun, probably inspired by the plane that would crash into the stage during some of Pink Floyd's live shows, usually at the end of "On the Run
