you know... i'm becoming suspicious that this might be the best bit of wedge politics *ever*.
seems that the electorate is polarising over palin, and that's a better result that a "who's the VP? oh, that asshole again?"
people actually care

from the article chris links to.
He was looking for someone who was well prepared to fight against international Islamic extremism, the transcendent issue of our time. And in the end he decided that in good conscience, he was not going to settle for anyone who had not been commander of a state national guard for at least a year and a half. He put down his foot!
The obvious choice was Palin, the governor of Alaska, whose guard stands as our last best defense against possible attack by the resurgent Russian menace across the Bering Strait.
chortle.

I wish Obama would actually tell his supporters to chill the fuck out and stick to the issues
indeed. that republican campaign is already looking like they've given themselves more rope than a KKK convention.

yup. the ship comment was a bit OTT, imo.

i'm looking at my flatmate and saying, "you've got a what? a modem?
"does this mean we can hack into the US military establishment and start a world war? because, well, i'm a little bored today."
it's 1992 and he's got an external modem that he plugs the phone line into, and i'm all like, "ccooooooooolllll..... i thought it'd be one of those fkcers you drop the phone onto, but this ill be sweet.
"now what?
"so what are all those numbers? are they like personal details of political figures that we can blackmail and make a lot of money?
"no? oh.
"aeh? chess scores?
"from the 'server' up at victoria university?
"so, um, what's a server?
"oh.
"yup.
"a-hah.
"yup.
"ah. i see. so what else does this thing do?
"nothing? really? so when do we talk to the supercomputer at the pentagon and play the waragames?
"we don't?
"stink."

I don't mind having a lie in, but I'd rather not spend it in the company of Peters and Plunket.
sounds like a cautionary tale about nappies.

lol

low.

Peters doesn't have to bring the government down as there's only a few weeks before they rise for the election
i found plunket crowing "Clark government fails to run full term!!" a little... ridiculous.
forgive me if i'm mistaken, but hasn't it been almost three years since the last general election?
his full name is Richard Bruce Cheney
known affectionately as "dick".

that interview with plunket this morning really was something.
i don't think i've ever heard the foreign minister sounding more tired. he only even managed to fire up about twice.
