Hard News: Dirty Politics, in reply to Kumara Republic,

Front page of Herald today...
Dotcom: I had no idea Liu had any problems
They seem to be pushing this story, guy invests in Mega, guy gets busted for alleged money laundering. This is one of the charges .com is facing himself , allegedly, and is basically a meaningless charge unless it can be proven that the money was come by illegally. For a start this is a police raid, not a resulting conviction following a court case so nothing proven but still the Herald sees fit to try and tar .com with this virtual broad brush, dirty politics or just bad journalism?.
Seems the powers that be, through the long blue arm of Johnny Law, have it in for Internet Mana. Hone, it appears, may be charged for careless driving following an accident in the Maungamukas. I know this stretch of road, it is treachourous. The police seem to think that all the blame lies firmly at the feet of Mr Harewira and not with the abysmal state of the roads, especially in the North.
If you have a look at the pictures of that collapsed piece of State Highway 1, just south of Kawkawa, you will see that the actual road construction is less than 200mm thick. This is quality of the roads we have to put up with, these roads cost lives. We already have roads of national importance but they are failing fast. What seems to be of importance to National in respect to roads is how much their mates can make from building new ones to their holiday homes. -
Hard News: Never mind the quality ..., in reply to nzlemming,
I’m guessing it was a Downfall?
You are correct Sir.
Puzzled as to why it was removed, uploader threatened by the “Powers that be”? -

Hard News: Never mind the quality ..., in reply to Ian Dalziel,

Meanwhile, back in Tennessee
A young girl in Tennessee says she was suspended after breaking a class rule of saying “bless you” after a classmate sneezed.
In a world with innumerable shades of grey some people can see only in Black and White.

Ben Uffendell beat me to it...
A group of nine white people dressed in blue are seen vigorously rowing towards the sunrise as a voiceover gets the lyrics to Eminem's Lose Yourself terribly wrong.
-
Oh the Irony..,.
The song that National ripped for their ad is called, wait for it…
Lose Yourself
Yeah Mr Key, you can Lose, yourself…
They should have kept the lyrics I reckon... -
I cant see Eminem being too happy about his song being used for National...
Play this to the end, the lyric works quite well I think..
