Hard News: The Minister's Brain Has Exploded, in reply to 3410,
Which insignificant tidbit?
Link FAIL.
Story about the NZ SAS being involved in the recent Kabul shootout. Which should arguably be getting a bit more oxygen than it currently is, being tucked away under the important stories like Ritchie McCow, the England rugby team doing something entirely unremarkable, and all the rest of it.

Hard News: The Minister's Brain Has Exploded, in reply to Rich of Observationz,
I'd take the general sycophancy and incoherence as par for the course, but what are the journalists of the NZ media doing missing this story?
Too busy getting the real local stories that matter: The England rugby team....went to a bar! And there was a blonde woman there! And she might have talked to one of them!
Hold the front page! Oh, wait, you did.
Meanwhile, in a sidebar on page A6, we have this insignificant little titbit.

The weather has been pretty nasty more or less continuously since Sunday night/morning, which is not conducive to partying on an exposed wharf, and might have something to do with the glaring lack of visitors.
Still, it's not as if that's entirely unexpected for September in Auckland. Remind me whose decision was it to put 'party central' there in the first place...?

Actually, from the lines painted on the ground, I'm pretty sure it was a parking lot.
It had a previous life as a holding zone for imported cars.
One fears for Mr Armstrong; what happens when Smile'n'Wave gets bored and decides to leave politics?
He morphs into Garth George and starts writing endless columns about the good old days.

I have seen greater Police crowd control at the Satan Parade.
Wow, things really have gone downhill under Red Len.
Oh, yes. Once the pass the parcel blame music stops, we can burn whoever is left holding the baby in a giant wicker rugby ball at the end of Queens Wharf. A necessary sacrifice to ensure that the harvest is bountiful and that the All Blacks win the world cup.

Hard News: The Minister's Brain Has Exploded, in reply to Rich of Observationz,
can anyone explain why our government believes that an essential service such as electricity supply is most appropriately provided by the private sector, while running a glorified bar is an essential state function?
Some people have accused us, as your elected representatives, of not being able to organise a piss-up in a brewery. Well, we'll show them!

Muse: Start The Week, in reply to Kumara Republic,
Humans are very hypocritical creatures and don't really like exploring or acknowledging the darker aspects of themselves. When someone, like Robert Crumb, comes along and holds up a mirror to those darker aspects and that hypocrisy, then people tend to react badly.
The 'screws' sold hundreds of thousands of copies every sunday, and when it was hacking the phones of celebrities, those hundreds of thousands of people didn't really give a damn. It took hacking the phone of a murdered schoolgirl to change that.

Hard News: Music media: The song remains…, in reply to bob daktari,
odd its not distributed in the paper alongside all the other entertainment, housing, sport, housing, housing, and housing supplements
Did you look under the rugby supplement? No, not that one, the other one. No, the other other one.

Field Theory: Four Years Ago, in reply to BenWilson,
My money is on Wayne Mapp.
I think that's long odds. Mapp is about the only cabinet minister I'd give the time of day to. Could be any one of the rest of the incompetent fools, though.
