Way back machine. Some are there but while l was looking l realised that l wouldn't be interested in going there even if they were readily available. In fact l wish he would delete the whole revolting festering sore that it is and never post again but that's just me being intolerant l suppose.

Russell Norman is on fire. Could just be the smoke machine.
Seriously, a smoke machine at a political debate?
All we need now is mirrors ant the illusion will be complete. -
So Russell Norman thinks Bill English is the best politician outside his own party.
Speechless... -
n the High Court at Auckland today, Justice John Fogarty said the media were still allowed to discuss material already leaked and publish information already in their hands.
The judge was quick to clarify it was an interim order pending further legal wrangling next week.
It will be an interesting weekend then. I have no doubt the journalists holding the last of the leaked emails will want to get them out there before the interim order runs out. Rawshark has said that he had already handed them over before the court order was made. Too late for Slater.... Slater than you think...

National’s blatant broadband pork barrelling misses the mark by a country mile
The industry hasn’t been consulted; even Crown Fibre Holdings, the government agency charged with managing the UFB contracts, hasn’t been consulted. And to cap things off National will use asset sales coffers to fund the UFB expansion.

“Look! A tax cut!” seems to be the current technique. Sigh.
National’s partners’ tax plans cost at least $42 billion
While National and John Key in particular scream about the Loony Left and their fiscal irresponsibility……
What the fuckitty fuckitty fuck…. -
Hard News: Dirty Politics, in reply to Caleb D'Anvers,
I know a lot of working journalists are dismissive of Herman and Chomsky’s “propaganda model,”
We don't use that word anymore, propaganda, too many nasty associations, WW2 Germany, Stalin, real nasty shit. I mean we don't do things like that anymore, do we? We have open and honest Governments these days, don't we?.
I mean if that kind of shit happened it would be in the papers, surely?. I mean, you know, we see it in the papers when people claim it happens but then the truth comes out and we realise it was all made up, a silly mistake blown out of all proportion.
Nah, we don't use that word anymore... We call it Public Relations -

Gah, read “two or more networks” above. On tablet in bed atm editing features are hopeless.
Yup, 5 months down the track and edit functions on tablets are still crap.
Nothing happens under a National Govt. -
