  • OnPoint: On Price Gouging,

    Last count, that's like 3 Bens in one thread. Is this some kind of Ben addiction?

    And since you ask, yes, I am still missing Ian D.

  • OnPoint: On Price Gouging,

    They reported some actual gouging among people renting to businesses trying to relocate out of the city, and keep working, employing staff, and contributing to the local economic recovery. Why don't you discuss that, instead of creating a liqui-fiction around petrol prices.

    I can't follow either the argument or the reason for arguing.

    I was silly and looked at Kiwiblog…I can’t understand such bile and hatred at a time like this.

    I can honestly say I have never regretted not looking at Kiwiblog when warned not to. While I can say that every time I have looked without prompting, I have regretted it. Did that make any sense?

    Drew lots of comment as part of all Premier Anna Bligh’s media conferences in the recent Australian floods.

    Yes, I noticed that too. It was in every media report I saw of her.

  • Hard News: What Now?,

    From here.

    The death toll from the massive Christchurch earthquake will be more than 200, police said tonight.

    Superintendent Dave Cliff confirmed the death toll in Christchurch had increased to 147.

    He said there are still more than 200 people missing, including a New Zealand police officer.

    "We know many - if not all - of the confirmed dead will be on that list," Mr Cliff said this evening.

    "So there are still over 50 unaccounted for."

    So hopefully less than 300, but still too many.

    Just saw the post. $500,000 USD. Think we both might be clutching at straws. Sometimes a number is just a number.

    ETA: Is there anywhere that is tabulating the relief effort?

    Something got lost in translating yen to NZD………I hope…..

    Yuan. About 3.3 million Chinese yuan at today’s rate. 33 would be auspicious in Chinese, if I'm not mistaken.

  • Hard News: The First Draft, in reply to Russell Brown,

    It tends to suggest something written outside New Zealand.

    AP seems to think it was genuine, and had some email communication with her. Elaborate hoax, if so. We are talking about the same thing, aren't we?

    Meanwhile, I just read a Kiwiblog earthquake thread for the first time since Tuesday. Really should not have.

    I'll take your word for it then, and continue to resist.
