We can all remain perfectly calm, perfectly calm?
Possibly, indulge in some crustacean loving.

Well we are New Zealanders. We should be able to swallow every sound in 'Global economic crisis' except perhaps for a syllable or two and the second-last 's' if we use the phrase often enough. Does that help?
Gloalconokrysis?

The Wallop of 08.
To keep in the same historical vein as "The Crash of 29"

And possibly shot.
One good reason to celebrate the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea's come from behind victory, goalkeeper Hong (own goal - 2 min) is probably not going to be shot.

Hayden; bible-bashing redneck.
That'd explain why he doesn't like Senator John Kerry's favorite team (the Patriots).

Holden Racing Team - sometimes just wish the whole damn company would drop off the face of the Earth, THIS is a good week.
That horrible horrible HORRIBLE Toyota ad with the little boy who goes driving and picks up his girlfriend. Don't ask me why because I know logically it's just an ad, but I hate it and that little boy with the intensity of a thousand white-hot suns.

Was Judith Tizard a better MP than Stuart Nash will be?

But, as it has all along, the Herald skips over the reason the EFA was mooted in the first place. There is little point in making all party funding transparent if opaque surrogate organisations can spend the same money without having to declare a thing. There is still a place for regulation of third-party campaigning, even if the definition of what constitutes campaigning for a party needs paring back. And how any cap or oversight could be applied without the "onerous" filling in of a registration form isn't clear to me.
I believe that there are large swathes of the right who would endorse a particular reform to tackle "opaque surrogate organisations". The Nats could change the definition of what constitutes campaigning to include the value of political work carried out during hours of paid employment or through the use of employee equipment. Such a small reform would do wonders to build support for the EFA amoung the Right.

The unloseable seat that Richard Prebble lost in 1993, you mean?
That'd be the one. The seat is un-lose-ably left wing. And yet...

One question: can someone explain to me what exactly Judith Tizard ddi or didn't do that causes so many people to deride her so much?
She lost an un-lose-able seat to a nobody candidate, despite being a senior MP and government minister.
